Would we have beaten Fleetwood with a better surface? I somehow doubt it. Admittedly it was bad and it does need sorting, but both teams on Saturday had to cope with it.
Bloody egg chasers!!

It looked rough before kick off, and if truth be told not really been brilliant since the Rugby League world cup games. I do have to wonder why it was reported on though...
The pitch is in a shocking state. It can't just be down to having rugby on it as other teams share and don't have the same problem.
If I was Wasps I'd be having words with the company that put it in.
Being really concerned about the state of the pitch at this time of year is a relatively modern phenomenon. In the 60s, 70s and 80s pitches were in far worse shape (even at the top level). Derby's baseball ground being one of the worse...a real quagmire with no grass at all. Even highfield road goal mouths were real mudheaps with the ball often sticking. The wings got cut up easily and the centre circle at times not really playable. I'm not advocating a return to those pitches but I don't think the Ricoh is as bad as that although it is certainly less good than the first few winters we played there.

But like all true football fans I bet they fancy watching their team at Wembley

We don't use it under Slade anyway 
That was only impaired when they stopped serving food at the Ricoh and they ran out of Walkers.
But we just won a game on a pitch that is worse then ours.
Maybe they should leave it, afterall it's good enough for the long ball game

I think he meant the work done on it, no chance it's been relaid. It was bobbly as anything.
Probably fortunate for us then as Millwall couldn't play football! RS would have us lumping it forward on a bowling green!
The pictures after the last game there suggested the centre part was being relaid. Could see today a difference in shade in said area, yet the same brown area where the grass looked to have died since the rugby logo thing was put down for one of the rugby games remains, which is odd. Wasn't a complete relay of the pitch but I was expecting more than what we seen.
The ball was bouncing horribly in more areas than the area that had been worked on.
If we can't blame the tennis balls / throwers, can we blame the pitch?
Apparently it's going to rain all day on Monday . :wacky:
Weather up date, it's going to rain Monday Night ! And not stop until Tuesday pm.

The pitch is a mess, take a closer look and there is not that much grass on it.
the ball would roll better on a ploughed field, but the opposition always seem to find a way to play on it.
