I've banged on about the pitch in a previous thread. I know Paddy well and I know he is really disappointed with it. Not much you can do with it until it warms up and the grass starts to re-grow. I will say this again, we don't have any waterproof pitch covers anymore, no undersoil heating, no new drainage and it doesn't get reseeded and top dressed until the middle of June. Throw in the wettest winter for years and the likelihood is the pitch will be bare.
Then whose fault is it that the money has not been made available for Paddy to do his job. If its the Chairman then we should write and slag him off because the pitch is a disgrace.

Fair enough, but Welling's pitch seems to be in a better state at present, imo.

Has two Kent invicta teams (meridian and bridon ropes) that play on it, so used every Saturday, and is only 1/2 mile from the valley. No undersoil heating, no covers, no money thrown at it.
The valley pitch is terrible. However, pro footballers should be able to cope and the opposition don't find it hard to play on it.
Think we need to separate the two completely different issues here. The condition of the pitch is appalling and our performances at home this season are appalling. They are not in any way shape or form connected.
How about the Watford pitch as well, they've had Rugger on that this season yet on NYD it was a dream. Even the Udders pitch 24hours after the Rugby League game was in better nick!
Instead of paying out money for loanees etc. we should scrape some dough together to buy some bloody covers, I doubt they cost too much

I've said in previous threads Watford/ Udders have had over a million spent on their pitches. They have a desso pitch, undersoil heating and a special drainage system.
But you go ahead and justify why the pitch is acceptable when comparing it to Watford's who incidentally also has rugby union played on it.
You seem to have a season ticket on most threads and I've noticed how you like to moan at others and mock their views. You fail to grasp that a forum is about views and opinions. Maybe you are the idiot.

Answer - for not getting results.
