Why turn everything into something to criticise the club with ? Surely the ptiches have been there for years, before the club bought the land. Nothing wrong with them 90% of the time, but turns out they do not handle excessive rain well enough.
As for criticising DC for wanting to improve them ... what is that all about ???
I am merely wandering if the pitches weren’t prepared properly when initially put down or have they been left to deteriorate through lack of funding
As member of Roko since it was built I have seen the progress with the current training pitches which at the front were originally " park pitches".
When PFC started leasing them from Roko they spent thousands on earthworks, digging down, replacing the top metre with soil/ sand etc, it must have taken them a good 8/9 months before PC's team started training on them.
Since then I can assure you that during the season and in particular every summer those pitches have had proper maintenance on them. I cant really comment on the more recent pitches at the back but they originally thoroughly prepared around 2 years ago.
The front pitches were fine for PC & KJ, I don't remember this tosh being brought up by them. It is a load of old bull by Cowley IMHO - getting the "excuses in early for some of the abysmal performances by the team and quite possibly the failure to get to play offs or promotion.
