Does anyone know how the grass is growing at Fossetts Farm?
Still think ken would have helped this problem ,sacking him was fool hardy

With all the delays getting the project started, probably 10 foot high!
It's not that high just yet, but it's looking a bit dry.
Yes, I thought it did not cut up some badly as previous weeksWas it my imagination, or was the pitch less awful on Saturday?

The pitch will not improve its nly going to get worse .The only way its going to be rectified is at the final whistle at the end of the season .They need to rip it up straight away Rather than let countless teams use it for no good reason .Then totally relay the surface from scratch .Hopefully bring in someone who knows a thing or two about a good playing surface .
I noticed a few younger Shrimpers finding it hard to see the musical talents of "two in a room":smile:I certainly felt like the old guy in the pub on Saturday night when younger Shrimpers were telling me it was the worst they'd ever seen and so I then tried to describe the Baseball Ground to them.
"You try telling the kids of today that - they won't believe you!" :smile:
Thought it was still awful.
Sacking the groundsman for that one called off game really worked out well.
Was that the actual reason? It makes a nice story for the papers but if he was legitimately fired for failing to get the pitch unfrozen then surely he easily would have won a wrongful dismissal case. In any case based on what OBL has said on here before the issues aren't the fault of the new groundsman, it's the company that provides us with the pitch messing us around so it got laid far too late for it to bed in.

I thought it looked awful and cut up really badly BUT i did see fewer instances of players picking up large sections of turf and stamping them back into the ground . So better from that respectWas it my imagination, or was the pitch less awful on Saturday?
