Poor pitches

I am wondering when we will play another game on Guthlaxtons pitches, with the weather looking very poor I fear we may not have a home game for months!! Chomping at the bit to have a competitive game, Sunday morning haven't been the same for weeks as all our matches have been off!
I am sure that the lovely pupils of Guthlaxton wouldn't mind working on cut up pitches!!
Jealously looking at all the fixtures that are STILL ON!!!...........at the moment.

few years ago we had the guthlaxton pitch but the amount of games that were called off we swapped mid season

Where do you play now?? Is it council owned??

at the time we moved to uplands park, then i played there with nri aswell

uplands is class. Hardly ever get a game called off

Got to say we were skeptical about having a council pitch this season after having a season on Viccy park, but I couldn't be happier with the pitch at knighton park it's big,flat and held together really well under the recent weather conditions

We've had 2 called off already this season there, never had any trouble in the past though!

that surprises me, we must have been lucky, although we moved to the top pitch as drainage seems better up there

Surprised me too, 5 years up there and not one called off for the rain, your pitch in the top corner is far better , and nicer to play on! Ours was an absolute bog last time we played there!

Shame really lol, could have done with a few being called off due to our horrendous injury list.

Sad to hear that...........

Try playing at daykn road....pat is a goon and if it even looks like it might rain he wont let us use the pitch...until today we hadnt had a game since mid november....its a joke

Is this thread to do with the pitches being in poor condition, or are you feeling sorry for them? You no like, 'poor pitches '

Aint great? It's like playing on Arthur Fowlers allotment. At least the goals are massive.

Am waiting for Gutho to cry foul again this week due to frost!! Luckily though got an away game!!

Will Harrows pitch be playable??

Thurmastons is like an extra man some games, by far the worst pitch

the one with that ridiculous slope? Whoever thought to put a pitch there must never have played the game

seems to survive the rain though. couldn't believe it when we turned up there on 23 Dec and it was playable

Playing at Croft Quarry would be better.

Dnt mention the big goals 2 widds, had a couple of screamers against him the other week

Anyway i thought this tread was about feeling sorry for the pitches? Not slating us. Poor pitches

carry on mentioning big goals, prefer screamers in big goals to five aside.

Paul Daniels - **** the pitches! What do they ever do for us

Our Pitch has cut up badly this season also, so much in fact that we are hiring a pitch at Aylestone Park on Sunday for our county cup game. It seems everytime our pitch is played on it ruins it for at least 2 weeks, we will be looking for an alternate ground next season

think there was about 5 weeks worth of damage when we played you...

Oh no

Be careful what you wish for. Our game has been changed now...away, to Thurmaston hahaha!!!

hahaha welcome to the slope

I can't work out which way it actually slopes.

down.

Feel sorry 4 the left bk on that pitch always playing up hill

Anyone remember Thrussington's pitch?

I'm sure it was set up for under 7's or something, absolutely tiny. They had 2 identical goals disallowed against us in a game as a long throw went directly in without a touch until it was over the line...

Cheers Poley, so that's why you want me down there as no one else will play LB
