see Ponticelli is in the first scorer betting on Bet365. Is he eligible to play?

That pitch is like a ploughed field. If they press high, and the ball takes a bobble as we pass it around at the back, then we'll be in trouble.

I actually think you could play an outrageous amount of rugby on the Ricoh pitch and it’d never ever look that bad.

Good morning guys I just woke up, the pitch is disgusting

 

[ccfcway]

What a sh1te pitch

Nope
I hope we forgive them if they struggle cause of the pitch

 

[PVA]

OK having seen the pitch in HD on the TV I take back what I said about the Ricoh pitch being just as bad at times in the past. It looks horrendous!

Edit: looking through the regulations there’s literally nothing on pitch quality, smoothness, amount of grass, inclines, nothing.

Only thing I can think of would be safety of players, ref could postpone the game on that basis and if it kept happening to the same team the league would presumably have to step in and do something.

Pitch looks ok
For planting potatoes

 

[bawtryneal]

The pitch doesn't look to bad

2-0 win to us with another penalty for Godden.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

The ball's bobbling already . Shocking.

 

[chiefdave]

Pitch is like something from the 70s or 80s before the advances in pitch maintenance. Surely they need to rip that up and drop in one thats been prepared offsite.

Correct it’s about endangering players. Refs meeting recently heard of a player suing the club for a broken leg caused by a crap pitch. Refs were being told to be careful agreeing a pitch is playable locally

[tigersb]

Did Clive just say chagrin
Great word

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Nice build up, great cross and finish.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

The Tranmere mascot covering his eyes with his paws was the highlight of that goal for me.

 

[PVA]

Great cross but horrendous defending and goalkeeping.

If we can get used to the pitch we could hammer these

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Pusb!!! Come on city

 

[CanadianCCFC]

My head cannot deal with Clive today.

 

[shmmeee]

What a start. And I was about to post a sarcastic post about why aren’t we ahead already

Great to see Godden hitting some form.

 

[jordan210]

The left hand side of the pitch is shocking. puddles of mud
