Seriously Dave is a credit to the club we can all ways be proud of that pitch.

From head groundsman to......ermm....right big top head groundsman!! :grin:

But agreed, all messing apart, the pitch has been like a billiard table for eight seasons now, I spoke with him once. He said 'get off the pitch,' and threatened me with a garden fork. sadx

"waited up till midnight to put covers on"

So the temperature suddenly dramatically changed at midnight as oppose to 10pm?

Was never in any doubt anyway with or without coves.

Too windy before
