Condition of Pitch

[Auburn Mariner]

Wonder if Princes Park would be an option?

 

[Jesus]

It is a 700-tonne stage set worth close to $6 million and so big that it took 220 shipping containers to bring it from Holland.

He really needs his own edforce one.

Hopefully the shit pitch will suit us more than them.

 

[Bex]

Don't think so; Melbourne are the long ball specialists so the ground will suit them.

;D

Drove past Bluetounge today, whilst it was getting watered.. Grass is pretty much all green now.

 

[RADINHO]

lol not as bad as melbourne.

there was snow on the camera side of the field.

 

[Davo]

Does anyone know what happened to the Telstra Dome?  I'm guessing it was excavated in that area for drainage works and then only recently returfed?

Andre Rieu concerts

 

[Davo]

Hmmm disappointing that they couldn't better manage that event to preserve the playing surface.

 

[Ted]

the pitch was well, how do you say it, umm.... shit!

 

[Sacko]

Even Pluim looked better!

 

[Jorome Alexander Bennett]

Surely, it is a breach of contract or something.

Melbourne Victory agree to use the stadium and the Stadium agrees to provide a playing surface. Last night, they provided a slap to the face.

 

[Marinerchick]

that pitch last night was a disgrace
ive never seen something soo shocking
all for andre reiu i dont really think he is worth ruining a pitch !!

 

[loyalist]

I reckon the 38,000 ppl that went to the concert disagree

The concert was brilliant, forzamariners and I flew down for it and were very impressed

 

[graaant]

Bluetongue looks ok now.
As far as I know, pitch wasn't resurfaced, but has received extensive watering and has been covered in the rough patches for most of the week.
Covers are off today and there's still a few rough patches, but nothing in comparison to how it was. Should be fine by next game, even looking like it might be perfect!

Imagine what we'd be hearing if that was an AFL game.

What am I saying if there was an AFL game on after it it would have been scheduled for the Rod Laver Arena!

The stage is 100m long.
