Wrexham game

Difficult game to predict as it depends upon which QPR team turns up. I think the run of 0-0 results will not continue and I think it will be a narrow Rs victory. Hopefully all the talk will not be about the state of the pitch and the deafening silence from the club in that respect has been disgrace...

Oxford game

Well that was a truly awful game played in awful conditions not helped by the open ended stadium design. Full marks to the fans who went. However these are suppose to be professional players and the lack of ball control and misplaced passes in the conditions was unacceptable. Kone was obviously mile...

Re: The Pitch

Quote from Mark Robins after Stoke game “They sit in a lower position and make it really difficult for you if you allow it. You’ve got to move it quickly and we didn’t do that. I think the pitch was a little bit longer today, they said they’ve been treating it because there’s something wrong with it.”

Re: The Pitch

The weather excuse doesn’t make sense.
If that is the reason Fulham must have different weather to Shepherds Bush!! :roll:
Their pitch was perfect a couple of days ago!

Will we ever know the real reason for the deterioration?

Re: The Pitch

Unless I’ve missed it the usual deafening silence from the club unless they have
taken legal action against the installation company.

Re: The Pitch

It serves no purpose as very little grass left and only made it cut up more. In close ups of players there was very little grass left and what there was is being ripped up by overwatering. Is it a failure of the system we had installed or have we a new groundsman who has cocked up big time. A few mi...

Re: The Pitch

It looked awful before the Sheffield Wed match and at the end it had cut up even more. No surprise players were dropping like flies on that hazardous surface and our manager seemed to apologise about it to the Sheffield manager at the end of the game. A much needed win but at a cost. With much cold ...

Re: The Pitch

Big discussions on other Boards about the state of the pitch. Obviously grass will not regrow now and it will only deteriorate further to be the pitch of 60 years ago. Any regulations stating it must be grass covered I wonder. Whatever has happened seems to have spirited away the artificial grass wi...
