The pitch

[Grumpy Old Man]

Looking absolutely terrible. Threadbare in places. God knows what's been done to it

Probably the fact it’s rained every day this year

It’s definitely not looked the best so worried now.

Couple of light frosts and a month of rain is my guess

What about the carpet in the Hilton? How’s that looking?

There's been suggestions that the wrong fertiliser/weedkiller has been used, and it's killed off some of the grass

Watched the football league highlights yesterday and randomly I thought Gillingham's pitch looked immaculate, and they've had equally as bad weather.

That said there's some shockers kicking about at the moment.....Port Vale is one which could be interesting in a few weeks.

Tell arsenal Leeds and every other PL team suffering.

Of course it is man.

And Arsenal is a good comparison to us as they also suffer from a lack of sunlight due to pitch being dug down into the ground.
