After reading all the comments about the pitch, I was actually surprised how it looked and played today. Expected an awful surface but despite a lot of sand, thought our passing didn't suffer. Would have to give a huge thanks to the ground staff. |  | | |  |

I agree its bad but I was expecting worse. And it played OK few slips and bobbles but I've seen worse. |  |

Has tomorrow's Hornets game been moved to a different date?
The pitch looked OK but the forecast for tomorrow is constant rain and it wouldn't take much to further damage it. |  |

Yeah, it didn't look too bad and played fine. The groundstaff have done really well.
Wonder if the white covers in front of the main stand are used to keep off rain? Not seen them before. |  |

Much better than i expected..well done all concerned
The ball moved irratically on the sandy bits..or died a death completely..but didnt affect our passing game which was terrific at times | | | |

2 hours ago, their Twitter feed says no pitch inspection scheduled so assume it's going ahead. | | | |

Pity. A week and half before Dale's next home game would have helped to undertake necessary work. However, .................................................................................. |  | | |

Yes, big high fives to the groundstaff.........pitch looked to hold out well in the main.
There was one point mid-way through the 2nd half when Hendo tricked his way to the bye line (Edwards in a tizz) and just about to pull the trigger when he slipped on a wet patch of sand/mud..........only then did I think the playing surface let us down. | | | |

Just watched MOTD and Gigg Lane's surface is far worse than ours. | |

Looks like Hornets game is on. Just passed the ground, they are putting out the "No Parking" bollards. | | | |

Went ahead. Their Twitter feed says they lost in the pouring rain so the pitch will have suffered again. | | | |

Plenty of time to get the pitch prepared for next home game. |  |

How did the pitch look BK at FT on Sunday?
I have no real Hornets issue as long as they pay the rent then the more the town is represented ( any sport ) the better.
just wish that when the pitch is flooded they don't take a chance on ruining the pitch for the football. | | | |

Dunno. No interest in going to Hornets. I suppose it could be like the Somme? | | | |

Wouldn't be the first time a fine whine has lingered in the terraces long after the fans have gone |  |

Wigan playing Catalan at DW Stadium tonight at rugby league
If you thought Spotland is/was bad then Wigan's pitch is horrendous. Pouring rain and the pitch getting worse by the minute with the second half about to start | | | |

Watched the last 10 minutes. If our pitch looked anything like theirs at the end, then absolutely no chance of any decent standard of football possible for the rest of the season. | | | |

We've only had one postponement this season which is huge progress for the club compared to issues we've had in the past. Considering the ridiculous amount of rainfall it shows the progress the club is making. Yes I know there are areas for improvement but the club makes a lot more correct decisions than bad ones.
Oldhams game is off today. Who's to blame for that? Perhaps it's because of the almost constant rain in the past 14 or so weeks. [Post edited 6 Feb 2016 13:50]
