NO WONDER OUR GROUND GETS RUINED

[Magnus]

Not my words Rev, the words of Groundsman magazine.

I never miss an issue.

[Muskrat]

Wonder how much the pitch will get trashed today?

Given the weather, I'd say a lot.

Go on the Irish

Be nice to see a win at the Mad Stad.

No matter the state of the ground it is th esame for both and we are worse than most so it makes no difference.

Good article in the Sunday Times today about how the style of rugby union has changed since they effectively did away with the ruck. Forwards now spread out across the pitch so teams no longer attack the wings but try to torpedo their way through the middle of a defence with wave upon wave of direct runs. It says this leaves the wide areas of top rugby grounds pristine while the middle gets churned up.....and guess who the article names as one of the prime movers in this style of play in this country...you guessed it...

No wonder our pitch gets ruined...Let us hope it is not such a problem this season.

As there isn't much football being played on it in the 2009/10 season I don't think this really matters

I see that the autorities at Wembley have invited the dreadful crap that is American Football over to wreck their pitch as well this weekend. Thank god England don't have any more qualifiers to play....

Well done Irish

LOL at a shit pitch ruining our world class passing game.

Another pointless game of rugby at our stadium today directly after a football match. Thought they were supposed to be putting a stop to this?

The pitch was cutting up yesterday and already shows signs of fatigue so god knows what it looks like now.

[Muskrat]

The pitch is now bolloxed for the rest of the season. Even BR was bitching about if after the match today, saying the "rugby affect has kicked in". Why oh why do we do it to ourselves? (rhetorical question btw ).

The groundsman did state after the second season it would bed in and improve.

[Platypuss]

Surely the most fertile pitch in the league based on the amount of manure that's being spread on it.

[Schards#2]

JESUS CHRIST!!! IT MAKES ME SEETH, WHY THE HELL DO WE TOLERATE HAVING OUR SODDING PITCH RUINED BY EGG CHASING LOSERS LIKE LONDON IRISH, LENSTER, SCARLETS

....... and Brieve

Rugby is for overweight people who can't play football.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

LOL at a shit pitch ruining our world class passing game.

Anyone who couldn't see the ball bobbling all over the place yesterday when players tried to pass along the ground really needs to get their eyes tested!

Cracking game today, loads of action, great atmosphere.

You need to get rid of the prejudice and go enjoy a few games.

It has nothing to do with prejudice......our pitch IS being ruined.
