Northampton Game OFF

Thank you very much Barton. I really do think this goes to prove how exceptionally wet it has been in Torbay since 16th Dec.

19 inches of rain is a hell of a lot especially when it falls at the wrong time!!

I for one hope all fans now have a better understanding as to why the match with Northampton became a victim of the weather.

There is only so much rain a pitch can take.

Hi Barton thanks for those stats, personally I don't need any convincing , seen the odd post perhaps suggesting the work done on the pitch in summer may not have been quite what it was cracked up to be, to be fair think that's some way wide of the mark.

If it wasn't for the work done on the pitch in the summer, there would have been a very good chance that the Rovers, Exeter and certainly the Morecambe game wouldn't have been played, think great credit has to go to the grounds man for the fantastic work he has done on the pitch, and to the club for giving him the backing to do the work.

Must have been way above normal.
Hi portugull,
from week beginning Mon 9th Dec: 11mm, Mon 16th Dec: 128mm, Mon 23rd Dec: 104mm, Mon 30th Dec: 110mm, Mon 6th Jan: 53mm, Mon 13th Jan: 65mm. this is just shy of 19inches of rain. Hope this helps people understand why we've had a bit of trouble on the pitch.

Which is fair enough. And the proof might be right there. It's the same as all statistics though - I'm suspicious of them! Take the Morecambe game for example - the pitch was terrible, like a ploughed field. And it might be that a different ref would have postponed that one too.

I'm probably wrong, and it's probably true that before the changes we'd have struggled even more. I just look at the general state of our pitch now and would never believe we've spent a good few quid on improvements recently. Not sure what I'm expecting really.

My point really was it's not clear to me how much improvement has been made to the pitch in the last 2 summers when we've spent money on it. Take today's postponement out of the equation completely - the pitch has looked pretty heavy for much of the season. It doesn't appear to be a great deal better than before? But other people seem absolutely convinced otherwise so maybe I'm wrong.

It's about respect and I've said it countless times on this very forum. People should converse in a manner that they'd be comfortable doing if they were sat in the pub. I doubt there'd be so many 'morons' being bandied about if the conversations were taking place in a face to face manner.
absoulutely shane.

just fists, headbutts and knee-caps.
