Not sure just saw it on Facebook

That's a 'proper' pitch. 1980's style mudbath. You can see why the long-ball was so popular back in the day.

Looks like any first division pitch in the 70’s and like a snooker table compared to many in the 60’s

They did this was after they dug it up but never had time to put the turf down

What’s wrong with it?

Newport looked so good earlier this season, but have been in absolute freefall last ten games or so.

Just looked at it again realised what’s wrong with it, it’s too short

Bit of grass and that would be fine.

Trying to work out if it's Sowe Common or Coundon Hall Park (Farm End).

Clubs are cutting back on pitch maintenance in an attempt to cut expenditures this season. Undoubtably Newport have done the same. Combine that with the bad weather we've just seen the back of, it's unsurprising that it's looking this shoddy.

That's Rugby for you.

i think cloddy would have been more appropriate than shoddy!
