  • I assume there must've been a guarantee? 

    The pitch looks awful and there's five months to go (the worst five months weather and growing wise).  I Dunno who negotiates these things for Charlton, but at this moment, that (reported) one million pounds looks about as good as the one spent on Ahadme.


  • Starting to look like a Sunday morning pitch fit for the Sunday morning football

    Not quite yet but if they train hard, I’m sure they will reach that level.
  • The women now play at The Valley, I wonder what a traditional pitch would look like by now if it had double the wear of previous seasons.

    Other clubs with similar pitches have no problems playing lots of games on them. And we're not even into the coldest part of winter yet.

    Absolutely this. This looks like a we want our money money-back situation....

  • We couldn’t even sign up a £1m pitch that’s any good , that’s how shit it all is 
    Its been Charltonised already.
  • I attended a youth game at Gillingham a couple of weeks ago, their pitch made ours look like Hackney marshes, it was lush and pristine 
  • Didn't Wembley and a couple of other places go through this with the first season or two?

    Not sure...but I hope so. 
  • Seriously, it looks like a threadbare old carpet - no different than last year. Cant this club get ANYTHING right?
  • Surely, we can't have been had over by the SMT to bring some waves and strays to lay a pitch, similarities to what shirkers NJ has signed up!
     
  • The hybrid-stitched Desso pitch will have a much greater durability, meaning it will be in better condition throughout the campaign. 👀
  • I find it very bizarre when season after season, window after window, people start lauding newly laid turf from a grass company who they had never heard of prior to then joining and praising our board for savvy business - based on a look ata YouTube video or a handful of other clubs fan’s tweets, instead of watching it be played on and commenting on what they actually see
    I think it's fair to have expected anyone paying a million or whatever it was to have done their research, but I guess not with us.

    We do the same with players, look how that has turned out.
  • I would ask for our money back for the pitch….the optics on charlton tv were bad
  • Maybe we’d have got more results if we purposely set up to have a dreadful pitch? It would match the style we’ve been playing all season.
  • To be fair the same company laid Lutons pitch a couple of years back and that's still excellent. ;)
