Your right a lot of our sporting facilities in this country are built on swamp. . You only need to look at the plethora of drains creeks etc in the vicinity of grounds to see this.
Biggest issue here to me is a cultural thing. First hint of rain and it is off as the precious grass needs protection.
Compare that to Europe where weather 5x as bad as we have had in Newy today and they would still be playing on not only professional standard pitches but also pub league pictures right across the nation.
So even facilities with less drainage and infrastructure than a Newy NPL ground would be used without batting an eyelid.
Yet here it is off.
Hell even as a kid growing up in Newy 20-30 years ago we would play in these conditions every week if present but not now thanks to over zealous bureaucracy
