Tisdale's recent comments:
The Grecians’ St James Park pitch has become heavy over the last month due to the wintery weather but, paying tribute to City estates manager Clive Pring for the job he does in making it playable, Tisdale says his side will have to make the best of things.
He said: “We are going to be at the mercy of the weather this winter because we’ve got an old-fashioned pitch.
“We’re one of a few clubs with an old-fashioned soil pitch – Clive Pring does a fabulous job making the best of it but we are unfortunately going to have a pitch that won’t play like a contemporary pitch like most of our competitors.
“I think it’s something we have to accept and make the best of.
“We can’t afford a new pitch, it’s not something the club would be able to afford, so I think we just have to accept that’s what we have and make the best of it.”
Am I mistaken or have we not relaid the pitch twice in recent years?
