Outsider Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Are we talking about playing surface? Penryn may have a good surface, but for spectators I would rate it low. You cannot watch from the bottom end or even get behind the goal and there is little room on the side opposite the stand. It also has quite a slope top to bottom. St. Blazey must be the best stadium if you consider everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilver Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Saltash has great pitch, stadium and clubhouse. Although the pitch has been waterlogged a lot recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Darren Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Falmouth Town is the best set up in Cornwall without a shadow of doubt!! needs a tidy up obviously! Pitches at St Blazey, Wendron and Newquay are superb though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyblueref Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Hayle's pitch, or should i say 3 pitch's plus a mini's pitch are always in superb condition. I'm sure if all Greg only had to look after was one pitch, there would be no contest. But as he looks after four pitches and hardly ever has a game called off, there really is NO CONTEST.

Guest oufc1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Not necessarily pitch but ive always enjoyed going to watch at Bodmin, sat at top of the stand you get a great view....to be fair that can be said for most of the ground thanks to the grass banking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you have to remember is the likes of Saltash, Penryn, Bodmin, Falmouth etc don't have the slope that Hayle does to aid their drainage. Hayle's surface is indeed normally VERY nice, but it's hardly likely to suffer with the standing water that the others fight after every torrential downpour or consistent spells of rain.

You're missing the point, all the above clubs have just one pitch. If the groundsmen of all the above club's had to tend four pitches, would they be as good? I think not.

Ian Gregory Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 As I've mentioned in previous postings, the slope on Hayles Main pitch is a design feature. It complies with the specs laid down by the FA and the STRI. I have never claimed that the pitches we have are the best in Cornwall, they are not by a country mile. All we try to achieve is a consistent bounce and ball roll, and over the period of a season a reasonable covering of grass. Given the recent weather, I think some of the pitch knockers, that post on this forum, ought to be out their with their respective groundsmen, offering support and assistance. All I can say is that I have had that support from Hayle's committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansome dan Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Greg is on the pitch in his tractor as soon as the game is finished,he is very dedicated and he is the main reason the pitch at hayle is one of the best in the county. Game on tomorrow regardless of the weather (in more ways than one) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coopsie Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I still don't get it ... Nobody has said anything negative about Hayle's pitch, or the nice surface it provides. Also, nobody has said anything against, or negative about the groundsman. Yet for some reason there are these posts of defence popping up?. :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Jones Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 For me Penryn, Wendron, Hayle. Falmouth low lyeing, has poor soil quality, cut and filled made pitch and perhaps a primary drainage system not up to the demands of a winter game. Not very good traction for players due to these kind of factors. Who knows one day we have new primary and secondary drainage put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishatheart Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 The pitches in the home land(Kernow) are a lot better than up here in Bournemouth, the council pitches are awful up here... A few nice set ups like Poole and Hamworthy but other than that i would prefer to play in Cornwall on any pitch apart from a few... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
