That pitch looks absolutely shite.

I still think we’ll outplay them though, it’ll just be even more nerve wracking when we are playing it around at the back.

If it is too dangerous, I hope MR does change things.

'Ffs where's Max' comments already out in force on social media.

Have to say, I'll be very surprised if we win today. Would just be typical of us to beat Wycombe and drop points today.

Few more pics of pitch






You would think there should be a minimum standard of pitch in the league. IE some grass

It does look crap, but we've played on just as bad as that at the Ricoh before I reckon

If we can win on that pitch we can win anywhere, would take a point today if I'm honest, 4 from 6 over the 2 games would be ok.

Christ that pitch is a state. Particularly bad on the wings as well which is a worry for McCallum and Dabo getting forward.

Just looked at the ifollow feed and that pitch is a disgrace, large areas with no grass at all, i can see passes getting stuck and falling short.

Are there actual pitch standards or could you literally have no grass and bumps all over the place?

Edit: looking through the regulations there’s literally nothing on pitch quality, smoothness, amount of grass, inclines, nothing.

Having seen videos of the pitch on the clubs insta. It’s not even flat. It literally looks like a tractor has driven over it in place
