The Etihad Pitch

[wolviedinho]

Slowing down our play and causing issues.

It looks really bad. Heavy and slippery with tufts sticking up. Has it ever been this bad? Felt it affected our performance a lot

Agree.

Madrid are playing matches on their training ground, we should play ours at the minihad so that pitch can get ripped up and relaid.

Agree the pitch doesn’t look good. Besides the bubbly surface it seems to be covered with glu. It somehow slows down our game. Unless it is the players ...
We seem to prefer away games this year. As more teams do apparently.

If we do get through, let’s hope we have to play the semi in Hungary! Or can we play on the CFA pitch?

That Etihad pitch isn’t good enough!

Doesn't it have to be fitted out for var?

Good point!

 

[eyalluvitt]

Could they not play the remaining games at the academy stadium like real Madrid are doing whilst we sort the pitch out?

OT ? 80yrs we have been waiting for them to return the favour

Groundsman prob getting a bit twitchy.

The pitch hasn’t been great for a couple of years now - it seems to cut up very easily and there’s obviously a lot of work due in the summer.

It may not necessarily be a disadvantage to us though if we get through to the semi-final.

Think someone said it was due to be relayed last summer, but because of the uncertainty it wasn't done, it's obviously past it's sell by date lee usually has an excellent pitch, can't see it being the ground staffs fault
