LSV looks like a snooker table tonight, our council spent a fortune on drainage

That's clearly not big enough. You're going to have problems.

Big pockets tho'

Fax 36v4 Lions. Mrs Hudd-Shay says so!

I was talking to the groundsman at Fev last year (think he's called rob?). He said that Wigan council do some treatment thing to the pitch at the LSV which costs best part of £20k a couple of times a year. His budget for fertiliser, seed ect is 8k.



I've always thought the best pitches are the ones that aren't relaid almost annually, but ones that have been established for many years. Whitehaven for example, might not be a billiard table type of turf, but even when it's wet it rarely cuts up badly.

Josh Barlow, Anthony Bowman, Freddy Walker & a kid called Joe Worthington who recently played with Elland all got a run out for Swinny at the weekend, that could make things a little more interesting.

I don't see the game being on because of the weather, if it is on, i expect a dour, error strewn forward battle and a Fax win but not by a large points margin.
