Rainy summer meant the seed didn't root as well as it should have, then the cold and wet winter put it through its paces.

Unless some member of the backroom staff at pools is at fault for this also in some kind of conspiracy? IOR out I say :roll:

Shoot or hang. Either way, he's going down. Shoot and fire and move.

Nothing wrong with the groundsman, it's those bloody footballers running about on it. You just get a pitch looking good, y'know all those stripes on the grass, crisp white lines and a load of bloody hooligans come and ruin it.

Same with golfers and cricketers and as for rugby players :roll:

How d'ye think the groundsman feels about it.

Was the pitch relaid in the summer? I don't remember the weekly reports of how the seed was taking route.

Did we not lay a new pitch at Billingham instead, so the reserves had a decent pitch to play on?

Feck it....I'll say it....

I think it's because of the new pitch that was laid at Billingham and now the 'Top' Groundsman can't give all his attention to the pitch at the Victoria Ground!!!! banghead banghead

:laugh:

:laugh:


The top groundsman will have a limited range of priorities........above everything else... the first team's pitch. He's doing his....bestest.... bestest.. ever.

Think of him now, laid awake in bed thinking; "Are those bastards on the Bunker going to criticise me first team pitch; they just don't know the trouble I've seen".

Groundsmen....Angels in disguise.

Wasn't the 'Centenary Tournament' the problem? They didn't do the usual between seasons work on the pitch because of it.

The pitch was only re-seeded this year as opposed to totally re-laid.

It had been re-laid for last season.

Doing Billingham Town's may have been some sort of contributory factor, it was thought simply re-seeding it would be as effective(obviously not).

Re-seeding allegedly cost £30k while re laying it would have been nearer £100k, along with cost of Biliinghams pitch, it seems cost may also have been a factor.

It's all down to MIGS. or 'moan induced grass stunting', apparently it's a common occurence and is caused by the variation in pitch between whining and moaning which confuses the grass molecular structure, thus stunting growth and causig the worms to dig deep for refuge from the sound :roll:
