The Pitch

[Mallard]

Looking at the various Photo’s of the Walks  have to say that’s the best I can ever remember it looking.

Big well done to Steve Curtis. He must have pumped 000’s of gallons onto that of late.

[Mallard]

The camera never lies.  So they say.  Well the pitch looked good from a distance but apparently it is a total mess.   Weeds, bald patches... all this despite having 50k spent on it during the summer.

The powers that be at the club are furious with the state of it.

have you actually seen it. Perhaps Steve Curtis might like to comment.

[Mallard]

Many have seen it GS. It’s no big secret.  What has gone wrong after all that money the Chairman coughed up to get it to the standard that IC needed.   Sure looks a poor return on investment

I was there 5 or 6 weeks ago was a bit patchy got the impression it would be sorted out.

On the Chairmans Podcast he confirmed there are issues with the pitch

Just seen the opening round of fixtures have been released for the Reserves.    Opening day (5th Sept). At home to Framlingham.   Will this game be played on the Walks pitch or is there a first team friendly there that day ?

On the Chairmans Podcast he confirmed there are issues with the pitch

Reports from people that have seen it this evening is that it could be major issues! 

[Mallard]

On the live streaming the pitch didn’t look great and seemed to be cutting up over in places.  If that’s at 40k spent on it then it doesn’t look much of an investment.

How is the pitch? and more to the point the drainage?  Has anyone here, been in there lately ?

[Dilligaf]

According to SC podcast there were still issues with it. Its had 65 tonnes of sand put on it + a lot of fertilizer.

[Linnet]

Lot of rain expected too Fingers crossed we go ahead and get the TV money
