So much for the entire surface being relaid when HSG took over. I bet it is still half new, half a decade old

Can't see Hunter Venues relaying the turf any time soon,
1. Tinks & HSG have a debt outstanding with Hunter venues
2. Hunter venues & the parent NSW Venues are arguing over the compo for the knights with HSG (reason for HSG not paying up) for when the ground was being redeveloped
3. Time, we have very little between seasons, we really need some leadership from HSG in getting NSW venues to cough up the $$$ and then sacrificing one season for both the knights & jets, each team would have to have a run of away games at either the start or end of their season so the full works can be done, preferably with some European sourced hybrid grass so that the surface last longer and is stronger, if its good enough for Arsenal, AZ, Liverpool, San Siro, Wolfsberg & wembley it might just be up to our standard.

4.Hunter venues has lost all its control that it had back when the idea was to relay the turf, all the real power now sits in sydney, sorry NSW venues hands, it aint gonna happen.
SC Weimar 1903 has a better ****ing patch of grass. And they are non league German side as well.
Head Groundsman needs to go. Plain well poor. They have what 13 Jets games 1 NYL and a 1 W League. 12 Knights games plus what 20-30 games of lower grade Knights playing there all year and most of these games for the Knights are on the same day.
The groundsman is obviously piss poor. How would he cope at AAMI Stadium or Suncorp or SFS where there is League Union and Soccer on there over the weekend.
No excuses.
Deans Out
Groundsman Out

Clown needs shooting.
5 weeks to prepare the pitch and he produces that level of quality???
FFS the Knights finished 5 weeks ago. What the **** have they been doing ???
No ****ing motocross this year to hide the incompetence
Ed/craftsman.... Your time to shine
I don't know if the ground was worse in round 1 or tonight, it looked like Chapman Oval out there today!
certainly looked shit on tv
parramatta stadium though...
Supposedly the pitch is still ****ed from the motocross and that nothing can be done about it till it's relaid entirely.
So won't be for a while... we are using it till the end of March, maybe longer if we get to the finals and have a home one. Then the motocross will be on it again at the end of April by which time the Knights season will be well underway.
****ed.
Deans OUT.
Is it really that bad...I know there's a couple of different shades of green but the ball seems to roll true
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
What the **** was the go with the little patch of painted sand near the Bay 2 corner flag today??
What the **** does this idiot do all week??
Dig ****ing holes and play with spraypaint???
^ lol, this was my first reaction upon seeing it as well. I don't even understand how that happened, could someone explain it to me?
Bro pointed out that the grass was much better on The Hill than it was on the pitch, lol.
Whats with the power to the lights going, all we needed was the sprinklers to come on.
The whole venue is going to sh!t.
Would expect the globes to be halogen which have a Flaw with the design in they get really hot when in use. They don't restart until they cool down enough.
A simple power surge that causes the lights to flicker out for a fraction of a second is all it takes and it usually takes about 10 mins for the things to cool down enough for them to be able to restart
