Here, we have crappy grass, mediocre drainage, we play at least 3 games of senior football on a wet pitch. Some have juniors play on the pitch, I imagine some have juniors sneakily training on the pitch, if not their first team training on it occasionally.

Blacksmiths and Stockton = 2 best wet weather pitches. But try and play there on a sunny day and slide/fall on it, nursing grass/sand burns for weeks.



And what do you expect, we can't even get our premier Asian Cup 3rd place playoff stadium up to a decent standard. I bet all the NBN grounds would be in better condition than that minefield. We should at least paint the sand green.

Wasn't talking about Professional Clubs with million dollar budgets and multi million dollar stadia. If you lived in England for example and were playing in some novice league for nobodies you would still get on after the amount of rain we had on Friday night. Here we have some insane ideas where playing on wet grass is not allowed
