I reckon Sutton will get at least a point, probably all three.

Look at the state of that pitch. Hadn’t realised Colchester has missed a penalty, so an even better day for Town really, but fúck me, I went cross-eyed watching it.



A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Looks like they need to crop another ten yards off the pitch so that the goalkeeper and just hoof it into the opposition box.

What a blatant attempt to move things in favour of hoofball.

It’s actually a good idea to have a massive pitch that you can move around if it’s knackered .
Probably makes it a crap atmosphere there though being miles away from the pitch

Told you.



In an event that has 3 possible outcomes you made a prediction that covered 2 of the 3 outcomes and you're gloating that you got it right?

From watching that last night, i could see that the pitch was shortened at one end and the reduction in width was all taken off one side, so they have successfully bypassed the worst parts of the pitch for flooding. Very well done on their part.
I wonder if, come the end of the season, they will work on the drainage in that area again and re-widen the pitch for next season?

Depends what the rules are in the National League.

tbf it was quite an innovative way to get the game on - change the dimensions of the pitch.  But it does look like dogshit.  Although I reckon the old timers like me would say "I remember when......."
