Just back from the game.

This was the pitch before kick off, which was bad enough, it deteriorated thereafter.

Still about half an hour away. Late lunch. Beautiful walk to a place called Kirkby Lonsdale that is just the right side of quaint. Log fire roaring. Footie on. Beef resting. I want for nothing.

First time I've been in a picture on NSC that I know of... That's my flat cap there.

Just back too and agree with the above. They should be docked points for that pitch.

I would add definitely handball in the last minute for a penalty to us.

Ref barely got a decision right all match.

That actually looks ok (ish) from the back of the stand. See my pic, taken from the side of the pitch, in post #37 for a better idea. Alternatively, watch the FL show to see a stark comparison between the lush smooth turf of all the other 35 FL games.

No wonder we lost playing on a slop like that.

Terrible pitch, really like watching a league 2 match today. Freezing cold and very windy with debris all over the pitch. Tickets £25 and worse still £15 for my 7 year old lad who tripped and scuffed his knee outside the ground. How can clubs charge so much for a kid is beyond me. All the best to Blackpool but how they ever got to the Premiership is beyond me.

How badly did your lad behave to be taken for such a long trip in bad weather conditions to watch a team bottom of the league, play us?

I suspect he didn't have 300 plus miles to travel.

Why is the pitch so bad ?

Oyston won't pay for groundsmen?
