Do you not remember a few years ago when we played Saints and I think we may have played either Cas or Wakey when the pitch had just been reseeded! The only playing surface was the sand and the Desso plastic strips coming through!! When we play Rochdale the grass seeds will have only been in the ground a week or so!! It's the only way the groundsman can relay the pitch by seeding it rather than turfing!

Seriously....

That won't do the pitch any good at all. How about playing it up at the YM? It'd cater for the 200 or people getting out of bed for 11:30am.

Almost makes you wish we'd been drawn away...

They decided to do it as early as possible as all the local finals which usually happen after the regular football season has finished were a lot earlier this year! I think they wanted to give the pitch more time as we've had two consecutive wet summers! The groundsman was actually doing some prep work on the pitch cutting the grass down to it's bare minimum almost straight after the game yesterday, he was going up and down on his mower while they had their mammoth penalty shoot out!!

It would be easier if Town relocated to Heckmondwike so their fans dont have as far to travel for the home games
