The Blackpool pitch

After we played there 2 weeks ago I thought that even Blue Square teams would object to playing on that - watching the highlights of your game yesterday it looks even worse. Some of the divots on there are 7 inches deep


I think the league should order them to relay it or make them play at a different venue before someone gets seriously injured.

I've played on beaches in a better condition for football.

 

Yeah even the penalty spot was´nt flat.



Well ?

 

It's all that pollution off the sea

 

Blue Square teams will generally play on anything, as long as the dressing room is warmer than a fridge and big enough for at least twelve people.

 

But pitch wise, you obviously never saw a game at Vicarage Road between 2008 and 2011 (it was slightly less **** last season, and very good this season).

 

Should have starting Jamie Vardy

He is used to playing on cow fields

 

very good point lol

 

Remember when we played you a couple of years ago (Gallagher scored a pen and a freekick if I remember) and the pitch was dire that day.

 

I genuinely think Blackpool should be deducted points for their pitch. Its a disgrace at this level of football. I bet its currently the worst pitch in the football league and when you think they was playing premiership football less then 2 years ago and had ambitions to get back there this season its just not good enough

 

That's all good but it doesn't help us!

 

No it doesnt help us. But its not about helping us its about a club failing to keep their facilities in an acceptable condition

 

We potentially lost two points because of that pitch though. Personally, I think pitches should meet a certain standard. If they don't then games should be re-arranged until it is. Too many re-arranged matches, then the fixture should be abandoned and the away side gets three points. Harsh but fair - particularly as our pitch is usually decent.
