UNpopular decision but I'd call the f**ker off.

I guess that it's been a lot worse and even with my bad eyes it don't look too bad

Copps,

That's product placement and banned from the BBC!

Looks like the Keepmoat pitch did at the back end of 2012-13.

As long as the goals are in the same place we should be ok!

Depends on the circumstances. Anything that has potential to derail our title bid I wouldn't accept.

I went to Weston-Super-mare, sucked up the call-off and went back for the replay.

Best thing about a called off game is either you don't leave the pub or head straight back to it .

Maybe Newport will just build a big sandcastle in the goal mouth and shut up shop.

I've played on twice as bad a pitch as that avoiding dog turds and bonfire remnants while dribbling a ball uphill at Northgate. I played on a pitch at South Kirkby where there wasn't a blade of grass it was a dustbowl with what looked like holes where pipes had been under the pitch.
Our home pitch slogging up and down the wing with a boot full of mud, sweat in my eyes and trying to move either side was impossible. That pitch was terrible by today's high standards but in years gone by a run of the mill lower league pitch.

The Baseball Ground used to look like that - only wet. It was a childs playground really. Just mud.

I once played on a pitch at Edenthorpe that had a four foot hole in the centre circle around which were three traffic cones.

If the coach was playing with one in the hole you would have been well chuffed.
