panda Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 By spending millions of pounds on the best technology and a team of about ten groundsmen unlike our local sides who may be able to afford to buy some grass seed in the close season to be sown by maybe two or three volunteers if you are lucky.

John Mead Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 18 minutes ago, Keith B said: They spend a lot of money installing state of the art drainage systems BIG Al. Many Football League clubs now have pitches where any soil is a long way below the grass and has excellent drainage incorporated into it. Layers of sand are topped by a synthetic, elastic, fiberous rootzone and the grass "carpet" is up to 25% artificial. Water just runs straight through it and into the drainage system. They even water the pitches before the games and at half time! If players did "sliding on knees" goal celebrations on our pitches at present, they'd end up with a bow wave of mud!

Yeah, being self employed I know I wouldn't want to be told I had to play on a ground that had huge puddles in it this morning. No amount of work from the groundsman will stop the ball from sticking in the mud.

100%cornish Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hard luck on Millbrook losing 4-2 to Newquay this afternoon i thought the 1st half Millbrook dominated the game but just couldnt put away the many chances they had in the 2ND half Millbrook went 1-0 up but the best player for Newquay Cam Turner scored a great EQUALISER time for Jack Bray Evans to come off the bench and replace Max Everard and his class told almost immediatly ,but Millbrook went 2-1 in front but then Newquay stepped up a gear after Millbrook had a player sent off .Millbrook didnt deserve to loose by 4 goals but well done to NEWQUAY in the end but what a struggle man of the match Cam TURNER by a mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Matthews Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 This is before referees were told that their first priority was the safety of the players and that standing water on the pitch means postponement. Think of all the money clubhouses are losing by missing out on Saturday games and rearranging them midweek? Do you really think clubs want to call the games off?

Bobjfh Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 St Austell 2 v 1 Camelford Just back from watching this one, which considering the conditions was a good game of football with both teams playing as well as the conditions allowed. St Austell did edge the game on chances, but only just and probably an extra time or penalties result would have been a better reflection of the game. First half ended 0-0 and was a very close affair for the first 40 minutes, St Austell having several chances in the last 5 minutes of the half, but Camels holding firm. The major issue in the first half, for me, was the suitability of the pitch - there is no doubt at all that St Austell did a great job to get the pitch ready for the game, however it was obvious that sections of the pitch were very heavy. 2 minutes 30 seconds into the game saw a 50/50 tackle ending up with Matt from Camelfords foot catching in the mud and he is still in hospital as I type. 25 minutes later another 50/50 tackle saw two players slide in for a ball and Tom from Camelford is with Matt still in hospital - yes accidents happen, yes it's a contact sport - but I would suggest that neither injury would have occurred on a more suitable pitch. Second half started with St Austell in the ascendency, however Camelford kept looking dangerous on the counter - new signing Keegan Lloyd giving the leagues best two centre halfs (Giler and Tom Chambers) a run for their money. Camelford took the lead from a neat piece of work on the left and close range finish from Cam. Shortly afterwards saw Camelford attacking and (what looked like) a clear handball in the St Austell box by Giler, St Austell break with a long ball, followed by a handball given against Camelford and from the play that followed Dingle finished his chance we'll. St Austell took a clear front foot and had a few chances, if their players stayed on their feet more than throwing themselves to the ground, complaining as they fell, they may have scored at least one maybe two. Following a St Austell corner by Wattsy, Camelford cleared and had a counter attack - a bit of interchange play by both teams and a speculative long ball clearance by St Austell found Wattsy (still making his way back) and using the best left foot in the league, Wattsy scored and finished the game. Well done to St Austell and good luck in the next round against Falmouth (I doubt the pitch will be ready for the 3rd Feb), and hopefully Eddy will be back, as St Austell are nowhere near as good without him. Will be the tie of the next round and for me, whoever wins has to be favourite for the Senior Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
