Completely agree with this. It had been raining non stop from early. No idea when it started but it was going well when I got up around 7. It became increasingly heavy was the day wore on and was pretty much chucking it down walking to the game. Considering that I thought the pitch looked in very good condition. There was a time when a day like today would have a lot of standing water and flooded areas. Well done groundstaff. Can't get over that second half transformation. Was almost as surprising as the cheap cost of beers in the Duke.Finally, the £40,000 spent on the pitch was money well spent, the pitch was fantastic. There was a little splashing in the left hand corner by the away fans, but what a fantastic surface after all the rain we've had. If the pitch holds up well during the winter, we have the players to play fast, passing football, so I would spend £40,000 every year to give the players the chance to play like that in the second half.
