    I thought it was in poor state on Saturday, it looked awful.
    It also seemed that a lot of our players were slipping over as well.

    You got to see a lot more of the ball when sitting at the top of the SA Road stand in the old plastic days as the bounce was so high.

    Pitch was a bit poor. Had had a lot of rain, but still. Maybe they're going to re-lay it again in the summer? Anyone know?

    Probably due to the cold spell of weather as we were using it as a training ground, Harlington is so open it frooze over so it must have like concrete. All the more reason we need a new training ground with an indoor pitch.

    The pitch is in a bad condition due to the number of holes dug in it by feckin' squirrels!!!!!

    They had the sprinklers out on the pitch when i was on the tour before the game. They weren't on but i thought it pretty odd considering it was p###ing down

    We should make it almost unplayable when the Scouser's and the Gooners come visiting!

    We could take a tip from Derby's Baseball Ground in the 70's.

    Thought the pitch made a great tackle on Falliani in the first half when getting ready to shoot!!!
