There was a big puddle forming by the centre circle and the halfway line towards the AC stand yesterday before the game.
Funny, my son just mentioned that to me just now when we were discussing the state of the pitch for tomorrow night. It's been raining on & off since Sat night & I'd imagine the pitch is going to be rather heavy going in 24 hours time.

Arguably perfect condotions to give Ahadme a run out.
Okay this is what I have been told. The club were informed that the pitch needed another two weeks to stabilise prior to the season's start. But they went ahead with the PSF vs Portsmouth anyway. It was this match that wrecked any chance of the pitch doing what it was supposed to. The plastic stuff never got the opportunity to blend properly with the real grass and is now mostly lying flat. The weather, women's games, etc, etc is really not making any difference.
Obviously the club will not have any comeback on the installers if they did not follow their advice.
It will likely fix itself during the summer months.

I can’t make up my mind if this sounds plausible or not.
On the one hand the experts saying it needs 2 weeks but CM and co feeling they were financially committed to the Portsmouth game might account for the decision.
But then to ignore the advice when you supposedly spent a substantial sum of investors cash on the pitch (I’m still suspicious how much we spent versus the grant) seems unlikely given I doubt we made much money on the Friendly. Particularly if the jeopardy is losing any guarantee / support from the contractors.

The bigger question for me is whether the job was completed late by the installers. If not, there may be an argument that we could not cancel the game as we were under the impression the pitch would have been ready 2-3 weeks earlier when agreeing the installation

I've sent my application in, I can get mustard stripes on our lawn, where do I sign...🙄
Not sure Gills are correct as we received a large grant for our new pitch
