Dagerags Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 On a serious note about your pitch @TheolderIgetthebetterIwas when I was kid I used to be amazed at kernick road and how pristine it was, did they have these problems in the 90’s or did it just rain less. been reading your thread and while I don’t understand much of what you say, you clearly know what your doing. Hope this high pressure will help you in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primarily the change in the weather patterns is the main problem, undoubtedly global warming is the cause of that in my opinion. Secondly the recession damaging clubs finances stopped a lot of investment into the pitch. Both of the above have affected all clubs I would imagine. But the amount of rainfall and the way it falls now is the overriding problem for everyone and how to remove it quickly from the playing surface. At this level quite honestly...impossible. At premiership level with a multimillion pound pitch ...no problems. Anyone got a few million spare? Lol And praying for high pressure, but not the high pressure this weather is giving me!

CentreHalf83 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 That would mean using common sense and having the balls to make the decision. The clubs need to bite the bullet and do it themselves. Even though they shouldn't have been put this position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is there now Perranwell v Mousehole appearing on the fixture list? There was always a threat that Clijah Croft would be unfit Dave and there was a contingency plan in place for this fixture to be brought forward should that be the case. Clijah is unfit and both teams are more than happy to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those played on last Saturday will mostly be off. This due to them being " chewed" up. The technical term is severe root break, when root break occurs surface drainage is lost until the grass re-establish's itself. This is due to grass roots keeping the air spaces open and drainage from the immediate surface can then travel down the root channels again. It is just how soil mechanics work, and the colder it is the longer you will wait. This is why it is said " play this week miss the next two weeks" and we've all heard that...because it's a fact. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes Davebut over the last few seasons Perranwell have had pitch drainage problems, not a dig at the club just an observation. We as a club are in a catch 22 situation because the council are supposed to be digging our pitch up, so we are reluctant to throw hard earned funds on the pitch for nothing.

Does not matter buddy the mechanics of soil structure still applies. You can only change that by introducing large amounts of sand into the profile to keep it open. Even if you have multiple drains installed the principle still applies, stop annual investment and drains or no you will be back to square one.

Mark Leah Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Happy to get our game on at VP today, another fixture out the way. Good size crowd of 65-70 people watching and was great to get the game on after using our new machinery thanks to the Football Foundation. Nice to be out in the open air enjoying sport. Nice to see Common sense applied by the league....letting its clubs decide, at the end of the day it's our league and we should decide anyway. Now for a nice dry week, bit of warmth, get the grass growing a bit. Let's hope comment sense is applied next week too.

I think in the last few seasons most clubs have had drainage problems ... Could be down to the amount of rain we’ve had not only this year but several before ...

Mark Leah Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Haha, maybe Scoffy but it won't be going anywhere near Vogue Park!!😂😂. Yes rainfall has been a massive issue and drainage etc just cannot cope but a little thought, hard work, funding (biggest need) and equipment pitches could be better. Players and Volunteers reading this thread and getting out with a fork in their hand during the week instead of waiting until a Saturday morning would be a bloody good start. #learnfromolder!!!

I left the authority 20 years ago now...go figure. The recession was 10 years ago, the weather patterns started changing about 5 years ago. Do the maths. Have you ever seen the standard of a council maintained pitch(?) 5 ton tractors, 2 ton slitters, 2 ton roller mowers and 3 ton rollers dont make for a decent surface...lol Chris Davey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
