Title: The pitch
Post by: donny dave on April 15, 2010, 12:08:55 am

I know the bad weather has spoilt most pitches this season,but are there any plans to do anything with the pitch at the end of the season.
Maybe a all grass pitch rather than this so called reinforced one would be better.

They would be better off with a deso pitch at Wembley like we have at the KM, only they can't install one because the stadium has to be used for so many other events.

Conversely I worry the deso pitch might not be right for the KM. From what I know of it, it's the tip top Rolls Royce of a surface most premier league clubs have. The trouble is it seems to be high maintenance needing extensive treatment each summer. I wonder if the main problem we have is we can't afford to run lights to keep the grass growing in the winter as Premier League clubs do.
