"People generally lose their position as a result of not doing their job," said a club statement.

Not in my experience...

They should have got their physio to Jump up and down on it for 5 mins.

if that aint worth a fans boycott and protest nothing is
what a c**t of an owner
what did he expect him to do run round the pitch all morning with a hairdryer on it

Can't see why it looked like that if it was covered and heated

Groundsman of 27 years though.

27 years - I think it's disgusting to sack him. Probably just an excuse to get him off the pension payroll.

Well they are skint. They survived another winding up order this week.

Doubt if they will survive their next employment tribunal though.

Southend's groundsman sacked, Charlton's groundsman given a bonus!
