We also noticed it looking a bit thin from the North on Sat.
Like someone mentioned the cold probably hasn't helped, plus the 1st team have had to train on it several times when the pitches at the uni have been frozen.

Just wish the grass was more greener , it's a dark green shame we can't get a grass that was light green

You want to cast your eyes over to the other side then.

It always appears to be greener over there.

Did anyone else think on Saturday that the pitch is looking in a bit of a state even for this time of the year. There seemed to be alot of sand on it and given there hasn't been that many games played on it is looking the worse for wear. Does anyone think this could hamper our style of football, not sure if Saturdays performance was down to the pitch ie winning ugly, but it is something worth thinking about.

it's because the undersoil heating had been on.

From the North it looked just as lush as ever.

I heard recentently the soil temperature has to be a least 6 degrees C before it will grow - Also no idea why they start cutting it the moment the players leave the pitch - mind you looks a lot better than my lawn !!!!

I'm sure it's partly down to them training on it. Went on a tour of the Amex a few months ago and they had practice goals up in the middle of the pitch. Once we have our training ground I'm sure the pitch will look more pristine all year round.
 


The area down the west wing between the half way line and the south 18 yd line looks a bit worn. I thought that those big heat lamps were for making it grow or is that just for growing the cannabis.

That particular bare patch has been caused by Bruno going round and round in circles before he finally crosses the fecking thing into the box.:rant:
