    Spoils it for me every home game. We were fortunate not to go behind when Lewin slipped 15 minutes in - did well to get back up.
    We water both ends before and during HT. Pitch looked immaculate before the start, but looked carved up in places near the end. God knows what it will be like come November.
    WE HAD A MONTHS RAINFALL YESTERDAY ! ! ! ! Is it Danny who asks for it to be watered or just general ground management ?

    It`s so we can play slick misplaced passes. Do we train on pitches that have just been watered?

    They've been doing that for years.

    It winds me up as well. We give it a ton of water even when it's chucking it down and we already have standing puddles.

    To be fair, if I thought it would make my lawn look as good as that I'd get the hose out as well. :)
