The Etihad Pitch

[ancoats]

news just in ? the pitch has said the shit that was playing on the grass today was worst that the pitch itself

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

And it was windy !:))

Have we got rag groundstaff employed?

All those Sharp rag tops buried under the turf are starting to have a detrimental effect

Or we missed digging up a cursed crystal left from the shitty water era...

If the pitch is a problem we simply need to change tactics - same as those at the swamp. Keep the ball in the air not on the ground.

Being completely replaced at the moment so hopefully we’ll have a much better surface next season.

Lighter schedule should help as well.

It’s like a massive sand pit! Wonder if they will do away with the artificial grass that they entwine in the real grass?

A modern version of desso ? Or another form of a desso type pitch. Sounds the same as a desso, guess different company call it by another name.

I did a tour a few years ago and when we went down to pitch side the guy showed us the pitch closely. It was like a waffle weave material and he said they go up and down it with like a big industrial sewing machine that injects synthetic fibres. Can't remember the actual percentage of what was grass but for some reason this year our pitch has deteriorated worse than others.

It needs sorting as it can't be helping the players and it also gives them an excuse!

Our pitch used to be the pride of the league!

Ah, I thought it was Wythenshawe Park
