    I always think we're playing downhill

    When we are playing towards the players entry stand. Perhaps the pitch is fairly level
    but from the Pontefract end its looks like a slope. Anybody else got that impression ???

    looks like that from the east stand too. Just toward that corner with the west stand.

    Have had the wonderful pleasure of playing on the hallowed turf a couple of seasons ago...

    i can safely say there is indeed a slight slope down towards the North Stand, although not so much that in my opinion would make all that much difference.

    Hey, I just realised that I've been "playing" on the hallowed turf many years ago as well!

    Didn't notice any slope though... :D I was passing the ball with Chris Morgan while someone was taking photos :eek:
