To cover the entire pitch would take over 7000 Sq meters  of covers which would take some storing during a game, putting out and taking up, not to mention the cost in the first place.

If the pitch is covered up and the snow shovelled off, then the game goes ahead, simple.  A tarp in each goal mouth is not good enough.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle
Non league so no great surprise is it just me or does our pitch seem worse than it once was. The club losses out financially would have been a decent gate today no chance of getting that with a mid week tie/ My two lads have traveled from bath and chester albeit for a long week end but there's two tickets which will be refunded.


I thought the pitch looked a bit ropier than normal last couple of games.

I don't understand why the goalmouths/penalty area was covered when there's a slope/camber on the pitch anyway...

I think its all down to cost,

The poor groundsman's  budget has been cut,

So the pitch is not as good as it used to be,

Good News , when we are back in the league he will be able to do his job with a little more resources.

The cost of covering the whole pitch is not feasible,

When would we need it ?

This is the first time in years that we would have needed it.

I am still gutted it is off though.

Might do us a massive favour this !
It'll give the lads a rest for the Dover game plus we dont really want a lowly team having the odds evened up a bit by a poor pitch

Snowy roads from rural North Yorkshire first, and you obviously don't know the joy that is.....the A1079. Immaterial now anyway.


Ah the 1079! Happy memories

Quoted from highcliff mariner


This completely , there has been widespread criticism of Gateshead recently . And we don't cover the pitch . Tin pot or what !


Assuming that as it hasn't snowed for several hours but has rained and has warmed up how do you get several thousand gallons of water off tarpaulin without it affecting the pitch?   sometimes you just have to accept that nature won...
