Guernsey are now streaming their games if you want to see the fa vase semi final live from Footes Lane. Over christmas the weather was poo poo and a combination of poo poo english pitches, the airport being closed and a poo poo home pitch in conjuction with cup runs in the Vase and the League cup meant they have been busy lads. The coolest part is they are pushing for a second straight promotion, not bad for a team that only came into existance last year. The team is funded by the local government convincing the banks and financial institutions (for those unaware Guernsey is a tax haven) that the island needs a way for young talented footballers to get competitive experience without having to move off the island like the most famous son Matt 'oh you like football have you heard of' Le Tissier.

He scored on a free kick for the record breaking goal, and earlier in the match he bounced a free kick off of the crossbar and the post all in one motion. He's still amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rld9M0f42CA

Conceding via a low free kick is probably the most humiliating way to do it.

Ninpo posted:I watched Yeovil v Swindon last night, League 1 fixture and that pitch looked bloody terrible, I shudder to think what those used even further down the leagues are like. This is obviously a general statement, I'm sure there are a few good pitches floating around the league I just can't remember any off the top of my head.

The sad thing is that our pitch is pretty lovely but other sides in the league make it look like a bowling green. Is it just too much rain being a problem with not enough drainage, or are teams practicing and playing games on it constantly? Or all of the above?

Why we allowed Gateshead to play Kidderminster on there the other day is anyone's guess. gently caress football.

So yeah, like almost everything in football right now the problem is money. britishbornandbread posted:When you beat us on Saturday, our pitch was a loving embarrassment. Why we allowed Gateshead to play Kidderminster on there the other day is anyone's guess. Since this is the picture thread have some shots of my beloved Vale Park  The pitch in good shape.  An aerial shot because they're cool.  A shot of the half finished Lorne Street stand, it's been like that for years now.

Having practically the wettest and shittest year on record last year hasn't helped, just look at the state of Old Trafford which normally makes it between renewals with ease. Diminished sunlight, gently caress loads of rain and a bollock load of freezing weather has given most groundsmen hell.

Non-league Stockport County now have a pretty awesome pitch after Sale Sharks finally hosed off with their egg chasing fuckery.

Redundant posted:For some I imagine training on the pitch adds to the problem but Vale have a dedicated training ground so that isn't the problem here. I think the main issue is just cost, maintaining a top level playing surface requires the right equipment combined with man hours and expertise. All of those things cost and a lot of teams in the lower league are struggling to make ends meet. If you have to decide between keeping a player or having a nice pitch there's only going to be one winner really. Add in the cost of relaying a pitch and you end up with the current situation, teams that can't afford to maintain their pitch properly throughout the season try to fix it up over the summer but there's only so much you can do. I used to volunteer and help out and there was only a couple of actual groundsmen working at the club and I'm pretty sure they were part time. The gear was old and not really up to nick, it was also the kind of stuff you could buy from B&Q. The other problem with the pitch at the Vale is terrible drainage as pretty much all of Boslem is built on top of awesome clay.

This seems like a really inconvenient time to get a tattoo on his calf to be perfectly honest. As a defender it's almost stupid not to give him a cheeky kick and see how tender it is.
