Maybe a silly question... but why on Earth did town train on the pitch yesterday ?

On the FGR preview with Hursty it looked like it was getting chopped up quite a bit... ???

Any particular reason ???

I thought exactly the same thing. The pitch would have been very wet and I was surprised it was used for training really. The groundsman must have been over the moon.

Cheapside will be waterlogged I reckon.

I feel sorry for the groundsman,

Every time I have seen him he is pushing that heavy roller/water remover thingy,

It's 2015, can't we club together and get him a ride on one ?

a ride on one would cause more damage to the ground surely

They use them on cricket pitches,

I think its how the weight is evened out.

Possibly a worthwhile* exercise in playing on the same standard of pitch we'll come across at this time of the year?

We've used the all weather at Bradley before.

*until someone gets injured

It won't get any more cut up than if a game had been played on it previously. I'm sure the groundsman will have the last say about what training , if any , goes ahead on the pitch.
