If this is true, what has been lacking to make it a nicer pitch? Eg not enough lamp time to grow the grass better? Weather has been terrible, but I’m sure they would have looked at the forecasts before deciding to resurface the pitch? What does extra money get you? (As you can tell, I’m no grass expert) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 If the pitch has a synthetic weave that is failing, maybe Wayne or Steve McClaren could get their people in to work on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The groundsman is perfecting his tribute for next season’s 50th anniversary title win paying homage to the guys who tended the BBG pitch. I think it’s a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambalin Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It is not the pitch that counts but the football played on it and we do not seem to have any problems doing that. Has Matt Clarke said after the game, "he had played on far worse in division one" The baseball ground was worse and god what magic was played on it.

Rev Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Seeing as games are behind closed doors why not switch to Loughborough? It's like a billiard table compared to PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 With 1 home game in the next 3 & 1/2 weeks hopefully we can try to improve the pitch. I think once the transfer window is out the way we might be in a better position to finance & focus on the pitch. But with 9 home games left to play I feel like we will just do our best to maintain/improve it on a budget until it can get re-laid in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 A muddy pitch makes games more fun if teams adapt to the conditions. Good crunching tackles, passing the ball harder. Felt like a proper match at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it difficult to pass to each other, slows the whole game down, makes it more difficult to create chances, increases the injury risk, makes it harder to dribble past players.

wombatram Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Noticed Watford’s pitch was beautiful, it didn’t even have worn patches where the keepers stand... shame. PP used to be like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a billiard table compared to PP. That sounds possible in theory, but all championship grounds are equipped with a system of cameras for goal line technology and the quality of lighting to go with it, I'm not sure that Loughborough would meet these standards, then you'll need further facilities and camera locations, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambam Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 How embarrassing to suggest we play there. I suspect the new surface is a cheap option, certainly not semi synthetic. If you watch the Swansea home game, it actually looked far worse after they re laid it. if it is a financial issue, reducing staff to the minimum and laying cheap turf, then it is a false economy.

Boycie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I’m not sure they did relay the pitch, if they did, they left the sidelines in place, they were as bold as @David for the Swansea game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
