That game against Wycombe should have been off. Someone must have bunged the ref a few quid.

Just a thought does 11 years of dealing with groundstaff and maintenance teams for a very large organisation mean that I have no knowledge and therefore am an amateur, or does it actually mean I may have a clue what I am talking about. Just a thought

Torquay in 2006 was a frozen pitch, that would have been Gannon's first game.
Torquay in the FA Cup in 2009 was waterlogged pitch but that was due to Sale knackering the pitch.

Get Merry before the game and it makes it easier to watch get merry before the game, surely you must have seen me when I attended regularly, you wouldn't have said I was merry. Back then though we actually were a football team

A professional playing field is a delicate thing and driving a tractor mower over it does it no good. You are also correct with the assumption that we have clueless people trying to be professional Well. Thanks for your amateur opinion there! Really helpful.... Posts like that just show the mentality of some. If you haven't got something constructive to say, then may I suggest you refrain from spouting in the way you do. It really doesn't help. No offence intended!! This is a forum where fans have a right to voice their opinions. Since there has been no communication from the club except the excuse of their being a lot of rain fans have had to piece together what happened. We know Cash left the club to save money. We understand no effort was made to keep the professional groundsman on shorter hours We know acnew contractor came in on short hours A company was set up 2 weeks before Cash left We have seen the gradual deteriation of the playing surface since the new contractor took over We believe a tractor was driven over the pitch possibly causing the drains to collapse resulting in the pitch being waterlogged. The postponement has cost the club a bucket full of money Someone has had to fork out for the repairs ; the club or the contractor? We have no rain covers. Understand the last postponement was 17 years ago. Would it not have been cheaper to keep L Cash? Strange how this has all happened since our groundsman had to leave. WhirlwindScfc - maybe you can cast some light on this debacle?

All whirlwind can do is blow a little bit about oh how he wishes the fans were together and throwing comments about how amateur we fans are and that we have some form of mental health problems. Clueless, not knowing the people you are attacking, not knowing their background or abilities and just making the assumption that football fans are knuckle dragging morons.

Heard Jon Keighren on Pure before the game? He reported that the drainage under the pitch was 60% blocked.
One of the wettest winters in years, plus the drains only working at 40%
So I don't think the changing of who looks after the pitch was the reason the last home was postponed, more of a case of a set of circumstances and bad timing.
And for the record I think Liam Cash should have been kept and at least offered reduced terms if savings had to be found.
