Not so much that Fuzzy, but more an acceptance that once again they have had bad weather in the UK which has caused MOST pitches to be in poor condition, mainly due to excessive water, whether from excessive rain or melting snow. The Uk has had somee extreme weather patterns over the last few years.
Unfortunately, until the new owners of the Keepmoat put their hands in their pckets and do something about it, it will continue to be poor during such bad weather.
It is annoying to keep hearing other managers complaining they lost because of the state of the pitch, they lost because we were better than they were.
I was trrying to put to rest the Rugby thing as both sports HAVE to live together. They are, now more than ever joined at the wallet and everyone needs to pull together.

Kicking Tees?? They are for epople who cannot make a slight mound, go round in circles, then place the ball with any shape of aerodynamics and get it between the posts, well I could do all that on either side of the posts and infront and 9 out of 10 went between the sticks, now kicking tees, allowances for wind (poor souls) etc...That is what money does, it removed the skill

I knew the subject of kicking tees would be slightly inflammatory with some!

I really don't think rugby being played on the KM pitch can be blamed for the state of the pitch after all wasn't rugby played at Bellevue as well

Rugby League was played at Belle Vue but as I have said in a previous thread, it's the make-up of the pitch that is the real problem and remains a nightmare for the groundstaff to maintain.

Exactly, roversmarc, the pitch SHOULD be able to stand both sports, but as it has been produced from the word go the drainage is poor, the stands block out a lot of light and the bad weather necessitating the use of covers has stopped the grass growth.
Put all those factors together and you have a recipe for disaster, and guess what? The pitch is a disaster.
