Remember all that rain we've had? Doesn't repair itself overnight...

we have stopped watering it

The pure deluge of rain has literally "Drowned" the grass, and killed the seeds...imho of course.

The only thing Bell grows is carbuncles on his backside.

The state of the pitch worried me last night. Robins himself said "we went long which we don't like to do". I think whilst the quality of football has improved over the years in the lower leagues, there are still teams such as Preston who like to play in the clouds. Could work against us if it gets worse.

they were putting some sort of lighting heat source over the 6 yard box after the match to help the grass grow...

The harsh conditions lately would have destroyed any pitch. I think its coped rather well considering the rainfall and the tempretures we've had

I don't think undersoil heating can help if its on for significant period of time .

We have one of the best groundsmen in the country; we have a modern pitch with proper heating, efficient sprinklers, movable heaters etc. You need to feed a pitch and that means fertilizer etc. For the pitch to be in the state it was is down to Fisher and his cost cutting, nothing else.
