Its been horrendous weather for grass this year and the pitch is fine considering the rain in recent weeks. Remember pitch v Plymouth in 1970s we won 7-1 and mud was ankle deep and deeper in 6 yard box.. Soft sods its not crown green bowls. Get on with it. I remember that game well. Was it 1-1 at h/t? Groves ran riot and it absolutely pelted down. I was about 13-14 and for some reason stood at the RRE, uncovered in those days. Got absolutely soaked but what a match!

Plymouth keeper didnt play badly. As you say torrential rain. Biggest memory was Ronnie Blair on a rare hat trick hitting it past keeper, wheeling away in celebration and ball stopping on line in a quagmire. Mass thrash with ball going nowhere and keeper eventually getting his hands on it. Looked like scoring every time moved forward. Happy memories. I remember the Blair shot so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree I thought the pitch was looking good, 2 heavy rain games in a row won't help, but actually given the criticism for the pitch in recent times thought some praise is due to the groundstaff.

ShireBlue Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 An entire floodlight tower was out as well yesterday. Doesn’t bode well, but hopefully down to the weather and easily fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Interesting article on the travails of the pitch, but also some little snippets of insight behind the scenes in amongst some of the more technical stuff. Our pitch gets a lot of attention, and chemicals! Hopefully the problems of the last few years are behind us. https://www.pitchcare.com/news-media/balancing-oldham-s-needs-with-finance.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they have published such a detailed account of their ongoing work with the club today would appear, in my mind at least, to cast doubt on the claim made on here earlier this week that they have downed tools because the club owes them £30k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
