Poor Pitches

[spyinthesky]

A lot of pitches are now reminiscent of those back in my youth when playing surfaces were like quagmires between Nov and Feb and then dust bowls into March & April

 

St Marys is a shining beacon of verdant grass in a plethora of paddy fields.

 

Got us thinking over a recent pint.

 

How many of the 92 football clubs share facilities with the oval hoofers.

 

Starter for 10

 

Wigan Prem RL

Hull " RL

Swansea Fizzy Pop Union

Cardiff " Union

Doncaster " RL

Watford " Union

Reading " Union

Huddersfield Div 1 RL

Bristol Rovs " Union

Wycombe " Union

Stockport " Union

Rotherham?? Div 2 ???

 

Not sure about Rotherham who paly at Dons Valley.

Also possibility of some Div 2 sides offering up their facilities for Prem side Reserve games eg Bury/Aldershot??

 

Whilst Wigan have the funds to relay their pitch mid season what is going to happen at Stockport. Glad we dont have to play there again this season

Sheff Eagles RL team play there which makes sense as Don Valley is in Sheffield !

Playing there again v Harlequins in April I believe.

Union occasionally played at Walkers Stadium when Leicester Tigers have a big game.

 

One game a year of Rugby League at Old Trafford, and one at Elland Road, too!

Last time I checked Bury still rented out Gigg Lane to FC United of Manchester, after years of letting Man U's reserves play there.
