Clutching at straws. Did you see Accrington Stanley’s pitch? It wasn’t even level ffs. And we were in total control there. Or Bescott Beach Stadium? Would you have agreed to a BPA groundshare? It would have been even worse.
Looked ok on sat but the ball was still bobbling a lot
Friday you mean?It looked good on Saturday compared to most league 1 pitches
We haven’t been doing to bad on it either considering we’re flirting with the play off places after being promoted from the league below last season
Wasn’t our pitch in the early 90s mostly sand?Worse pitch ever? Haha. Are you not old enough to have watched us at Derby’s Baseball Ground.

The thing I remember mostly about the baseball ground was the restricted view for away fans, due to the very low roof/stand above.Yes we had a beach but derby a ploughed mud bath.

That’s right! A lot of these old grounds certainly had ‘character’.And if you were at the front, you couldn’t see the players on the far sides boots or the ball. The pitch sloped down both sides from the middle.
We were lucky the tide was out that day.Looked alright to me. You young ‘uns don’t know yer born...
Is the pitch more important for teams playing passing football or long balls?The pitch is the same for both teams playing, so it's no advantage or disadvange for either.
And night games there when that stamping works was working blasting smoke over the ground, you couldn’t see or breathe without coughing.And if you were at the front, you couldn’t see the players on the far sides boots or the ball. The pitch sloped down both sides from the middle.
Mind you remember when we all that rain at the Ricoh and the ball stopped in front of Grimmer and their player just took it as he slid through and they scored - kin 15 egg chasing hephalants compacting the area
