State of the pitch - Embarrassing

DiscoCAFCDiscoCAFC
in General Charlton
I know we had some awful weather lately but out of the last 18 years I seen us play, I have never seen the pitch look as bad as this. I always praised the club for keeping a good pitch but it looks pathetic and embarrassing.

I am not making an excuse for the players performance today because those professionals should put up with a pitch that is bumpy and horrible but you can see why Hamer had a rant about it.

The club does really need to sort this out ASAP.

Sorry if there is a thread already on this.

    Looked like they laid down some green carpet in the 6 yard box, and the rest of the pitch was basically either sand or mud. Think I have played on some Sunday league pitches which were better.

    Yeah the pitch is terrible, our players really don't know how to play on bad turf either.

    Think it was actually better today than it has been purely because it wasn't wet

    Why are you embarressed?

    Do girls laugh at you and tease you about the pitch?


    Its bad but not sure why you personally feel embaressed.

    Thought it played a lot better than it looked. Did'nt stop Forest spraying it about on the deck for 90 mins.

    It wasn't great but Forest (I.e Andy Reid) managed to play some nice passing football on it.

    It was quite clear he meant it was an embarrassment to the club, may be I missed the point in his post where he said it was personally embarrassing?

    Still, no need to be embarrassed if you're reading comprehension is poor - perhaps time to be a bit embaressed if you were just trying to be sarcastic and came off looking like an idiot though.

    I just don't see the point in moaning about it. It is what it is, and whilst I'm pretty sure that nobody is happy with it there's not really a lot anyone can do about it.

    It's a fundamental principle that if you are going to correct someone's spelling, you make sure that you get your own right. You should have written 'your comprehension' not 'you're comprehension':-)
    As for the actual subject matter, the pitch is awful but was not the factor in today's defeat. Forest were far better than CAFC.

    You were shocked by a patch of grass - or lack of grass?

    Or maybe you're just a bit sad and have no sense of humour.

    Didn't stop Forest though playing some good football, so don't think it's as bad playing wise as people are saying.

    It's nothing to do with us being crap at home. Forget that. It is however a major concern that we must sort out. Yes it is embarrassing at the moment.

    Did he? Funny he never said that but some people seem to have had a real sense of humour collapse just because we lost.

    The pitch is a joke and won't get any better until the summer. End of.
