Doesn't look like there is any grass left!

it's going to be a mud bath!!!!



Reminds me of how HKR & Odsal used to be. It's funny on the Town forum that they are saying that the Ovenden game shouldnt be played because of this..... erm.. who actually played on the bloody thing on Tuesday which no doubt contributed to it's current state????

it isnt just the shay pitch that is a problem though.

the horrible winter we have had has taken its toll on pitches up and down the country, Wigan who have 2 sides in the highest leagues they can get in, there pitch is getting to a simalar level.

it probably wasnt the best to play a game onit on tuesday, it was getting to the stage where if there is any chance of it being played on the game will go ahead.

the last thing the rugby would want is it postpone games like tuesday and having to extend the football season to fit all the games in.

I would bet most pitches are the same with the winter being so bad. Any sport is going to cause damage to a pitch at the moment. We could get the Tar burner on the Shay pitch like they did for the London Crusaders game up at Thrum hall-Burnt all the grass off but the game got played! That would upset the soccer lot-lets do it then!



(Only joking by the way)

is that pitch playable?

More rain forecast !

They doesnt look much grass to burn off.

Least the stand looks good.

Stupid gayballers look at the state of that. Set of =#0000FF***** the lot

=#0000FFDon't use that word or any abbreviation of it, please. TS[/i

should get the groundsmen from leigh. their pitch looked great and the rugby and 2 football teams play on that pitch.

Its been raining now for almost 24hrs solid

the pitch will be unplayable after the warm ups!

it will take at least 3 - 4 days of dry to sort that pit out.

not confident I am afraid

looking at that picture and looking at the weather we have had i dont think we will play, forcast for next few days are is WET and windy, so not looking good,

mmmm wonder if any town fans will be thanking us for getting thier game on

is it just me or does this season feel like it has not started yet?

Pre season Freindlys called off, Choo Choo Callled off

Pitch a mud bath with huggins of water decending on it!

Anyone for Summer Rugby!

hope summer better than last year

think they already saying messed up pitch before even played on it.

siddal's game on sat as already been called off due to the pitch been waterlogged,

More heavy rain, sleet or even snow forecast over the weekend too the pitch is going to be in a right state.

On Wednesday at Leigh was Blackburn reserves v Man Utd reserves too. You wouldn't think anyone had ever played on it. Don't know how they do it.

You have to give the ground staff at Leigh alot credit for that.

The hose pipe wouldn't reach from Hilton Park !

Pitch looks great now.
