tittle really says it all

i dunno if it was just me or not but watching todays game i just thought the pitch looked a total state

no doubt it will get relayed some time soon but perhaps it slightly effect some of our passing play today

or was that just me seeing things?

 

[Keano!]

Its a bit of an eye sore alright...

....very very poor surface!

Only the Super League final....once a year, and I could be wrong, but Wembley is
gonna be hosting it from now on. Might be wrong on that.

But even that, if a rugby game is, it should still be top quality...


Look at the JJB...the KC (I think Rugby is played there)

true true perhaps its lazy grounds men haha i dunno

im not complaining like i just think its something that could effect play but im sure its better than it would of been like 20 years ago lol

 

[hdcantona]

I agree, i thought the pitch looked a bit rubbish too, i think it may have affected our passing but we watered it anyway, i thought that woud be bad for the surface

 

[NateR]

How long does it normally take to relay the pitch? Our next home game is on the 18th Feb....would that be enuff time?

this happens every year its because the stands are so high it stops the sunlight and wind from drying and airing the grass.
you would think with todays technology that they would have wind machines and lights that would keep the surface pristine but utd does not seem to have any ,i would rather spend 30 million on getting the pitch sorted out once and for all than waste the money on a player because the pitch looks terrible every year in the title run in.

 

[red dave]

We've always had a bad pitch ever since we changed it around 7 years ago.

I dont know if anyone remembers but we imported grass around seven years ago and it lasted around 4 months ever since its been terrible.

I wouldn't do it yet....do it in the Summer, immediately after the last home game, dig it up and get a proper turf down.


Wish we had a sod like the Emirates or Villa Park!

We will never have a pitch like them because the shape of our stadium the turf gets a lack of sun light because of the tall stands.

If it was possible I think the club should invest in a pitch that can be taken out of the stadium like cardiffs .

I do know that...



Imagine that...

United take their pitch out for a tan... lol



Its in horrible condition now...they also put an incredible amount of water on it for a city that sees enough rain!

 

[dlan4327]

Messy pitches make Wenger cry.

 

[Rooneys_Temper]

Good im glad its like that,we've put up with it already so its a downside for other teams.Get ready for Jose moanalldaylong to complain about it leading it up to the 2nd leg.

 

[marty davidson]

It's a joke the state the pitch is in at the moment its not premier league standard when it is now

 

[haggler]

they laid a plastic membrane down years back under turf which was supposed to sort this.

we get more rain than london and london soil drains to clay .

it looks like a cabbage patch though still .

i remember the pitches in seventies and eighties being far far worse though - always remember a match of the day at the baseball ground where they came out with pot of white to paint pen spot during game !!

 

[Fiat Cunto]

it cant be easy to play on it when its like that i play on better pitches week in week out tbh! they really need to sort it out over the summer

 

[tony smyth]

It might also be because the stands are so high on 3 sides that the grass isn't getting enough light to grow. Might be that as much as the rain.

 

[Adam]

well i think they have the technology, anybody who watches mutv on weeknights can usually see the lights all over the pitch drying it. we havent got a home game for two and a half weeks, but i don't think that is long enough. i think it needs a bit more than that to bed in, but not certain

 

[Jay007]

Well, it is a bad pitch. Every season it starts off being in fantastic condition, then it goes downhill.

I think they should look at ways to improve it though, and considering the amount of games we play on it it should be in a better condition.
