Though it’s odd that Clipstone can get their game on but our system etc can’t get a league game on. Not a good look.
The pitch in general this season has been of a poor quality which is quite a surprise, have we got a new grounds man?
I take it you have based this post on comparison of games played / games called off for both Field Mill and the Lido ground? Or Not?
Clippo’s ground is well renowned in footballing circles for always playing games that will be on, same way at Blidworth’s will be off and the Welfare pitch at Forest Town not the former cricket square that AFC Mansfield play on will be on.
The groundsman is and has done a great job. Though some locations, such as Clippo being an open location for wind to dry the pitch, ground made up of easily draining sand will have an advantage. Most former Welfare pitches with the exception of Staveleys always perform well.
Like Martin said, two off in five years is testament to the hard work all at the club do. Did you see the state of Morecambes pitch a couple of weeks ago? Just as muddy as ours.
If, due to a lack of a game this week you are missing out on a drama upon which to comment, watch a Coronation Street omnibus and then write off to ITV. Should keep you occupied for a few hours.
