    Due to waterlogging?
    Our pitch was one of the best and now it's a shambles.
    What reasons could there be for this, hopefully nothing to do with the disputes between the 80%ers and the rest?
    Or am I over thinking this?

    Wasn't it simply there wasn't enough time between the end of last season and the start of this to lay a new one.

    Genuinely can't remember. It's looks a bit tinpot, but the pitch does look bad and we know why so not a lot could've been done I guess

    Why does anything happening at BFC always have to be someone's fault?
    Everyone knows the reasons why the pitch in the last 10 to 20 years isn't as good as it was. The added problems this season have also been explained.
    I honestly don't think the groundsman thought to himself, "I know, let's **** the pitch up."

    How did Swansea manage to get one down in 2 weeks then after we played them?

    Who are these 5 injuries derby fans keep going on about? I can only think of the 2 Williams & Halme & they’ve been out ages... don’t think they get in team at min even if they was fit anyway

    And everybody was slagging Keith Stroud off! How nice of him to consider our injury list whilst doing the pitch inspection.

    Its a societal problem. Anything that goes wrong anywhere, at any time, has to be someone's fault. People are making careers on that premise.

    Palmer and Sibbick were doubtful. Kitchen long term injured.

    You’re asking the wrong person. I assume they did it because they could afford it

    Very general assertion there. This does not apply in politics for example
