Cabbage patch

I don't see why we'd put ground staff on furlough. That doesn't make sense. If you have a pitch it needs the full year-round treatment.

It's easy to forget how uncertain the return to football was especially at lower levels. In hindsight it does seem daft however you have to consider that at the beginning the intention was to resume playing last season so we couldn't just rip the pitch up in case we needed to play again at short notice.

A lesson learnt I think and we just have to try and do the best we can for the rest of the season.

I think some need to give a bit of slack. Strange times and the large amounts of rainfall hasn't helped. Just look at you lawns. I'm considering growing rice in my allotment rather than the usual potatoes

There is a machine manufactured to get surface water off Golf greens and football pitches.Waterhog junior costs about £600.The sas may be interested in purchasing one for the club.

SAS wow that will be one machine

The awful pitch has definitely affected our home form as Mansfield players are not comfortable to play on. Mez is not experienced enough!

Wot a clueless strawberry mez been a long time wen eating ur Xmas breakfast mez was in work sorting pitch raspberry

Pitch seems to have gone downhill since Johnno was shown the door

Is "Oh Stags" Andy J by any chance?

What makes you think that

Oh

Is "Oh Stags" Andy J by any chance?

Of course he is.

[smulls]

Of course he is.

Ah! That explains why Johnno has defended Mez! Look at Scunny pitch that is miles better than us! That suits Mansfield to play on that excellent pitch comfortably. That’s my opinion, how dare you, Andy J.

[Kernow]

I saw pitch today, looked poor.

[geoffhill]

If it is like my lawn then there is an inch of snow on it.

Hope covers been on

[my name is jonas]

I wonder if we have the sprinklers on today too.

[bellwhiff]

Why weren’t the covers on ?

How do you know they weren’t ?

[StagsForLIFE]

Shoddy when you consider the amount of snow we've had really, naff all and is clearing quite quickly.

Either tactical reasons behind it or we're trying not to damage the pitch further.

Mez has had a shocker for whatever reason this season

[Sedgwick]

Why weren’t the covers on ?

Covers do very little against snow and rain.... Snow/water just sits on top and then has nowhere to go until you pull them off and it goes onto the pitch anyway.

Im sure covers main thing is for frost?

Isn't there usually an interview with mez when its called off

Harrogates pitch is covered in snow but there getting fans to help clear it.

Apparently we cant do that.

From what Mez has said on the official site, it would appear there may be a problem with the drains. If that is the case, I fail to see how he can be blamed unless your expect him to get his rods out (drain rods, get your minds out of the gutter).

I can remember helping clear the pitch before the game against Ipswich as a lad, Snow much deeper.
