Last season Washington dug up a line in the pitch to put some sort of drain in, we turned up and did the warm up, then our players lined up to enter the field and suddenly the ref called it off. it seemed to always be that part of the pitch they dug up for the drainage. if its still the case then its obviously not working.

Here's the scenario. As mentioned previously refs are terrified to play games because of the claim/blame culture, a player gets injured on a half decent pitch and sues.
Now of course because of all of these postponements, teams end up playing 3 or 4 games a week, players if playing Sunday league, more. I will guarantee you more players will get injured doing this than playing the odd game on a slightly boggy pitch. Madness...

Was going to say wheres all this rain come from, Washington got its own micro climate . Haven’t played a home game since end of September, at least there’ll be plenty of grass in the goalmouths. Thats shocking, should be made to reverse fixtures or find somewhere else to play home games until the issues sorted

Some clubs need to be told now to find alternative pitches to play games. It’s clear that some are just not up to the required standard. Because it’s so easy to just up sticks and move to a different venue. That’s the answer been staring us all in the face .

Northallerton 1-3 BP Auckland
Bishops' well worth the win. Better team 1st half but couldn't make our superiority count although Thextons goal didn't appear to be offside.
Second half Bishops' really turned the screw.
Very good away following in a crowd of 322 which I believe is way above what Northallerton usually get.

I’m I wrong or has Jarrow’s problem appeared after the new 4g pitch was put in next to the main pitch? One of the best surfaces in the league. Never used to water-log.

Whats the alternative, playing well into may or 3 games a week

Whats the alternative, playing well into may or 3 games a week Sunday morning pub teams on recreational pitchs. Playing on a Saturday afternoon! Northern league used to have standards .Then enforced promotion means teams coming up and teams not investing because they know the league will let the dog and duck play. Thank god we're out the league this year !

Thank god we're out the league this year ! Enforced promotion has nowt to do with it, the issues is with 2nd division teams, where promotion from their feeder leagues is not compulsery, two teams with issues washington and brandon have been in the league for donkeys years but if both went down would they be missed?

Whats the alternative, playing well into may or 3 games a week Don’t know what the answer is. Birtleys pitch has flooded a few times this season once or twice so bad we have had to pump thousands of ltrs of water into the drainage inspection man holes. We have been told the reason the water is taking so long to drain is while hundreds of new homes have been built but the storm water drainage hasn’t been upgraded to cope with the extra waste that now running through the system. We have reversed 2 games through this as hadn’t played these teams. That option is running out tho as I think it’s only Shildon ,Red Star Carlisle and Heaton we have not played this season .

Northallerton 1 Bishop Auckland 3 . Comfortable win for the too be league Champions . Bishop in control for long spells with the odd attack from allerton in the first half .second half Bishop took total control apart from the home side goal which I missed as I left with minutes remaining to collect my suit from the dry cleaners for presentation of the league championship. Pitch was the only let down as it could of been 10 1 ! Not sure which game you were watching, Bishops were the better team and deserved to win but 1-10...I dont think so. The pitch isn't the best but then some Clubs don't have the luxury of thousands been spent from Middlesbrough Football Club. Good support from Bishops and I am sure they will embrace life in the Northern Prem

Typical Bishop crack they easily forget there pitch was pure dog shit and was only fixed when that man left the club loads of money in his will. The club wouldnt have fixed it otherwise
