One of the first things I learnt at the beginning of this journey was; if the pitch aint right, there won’t be any football played. Obviously, this weekend saw a host of games across the country postponed due to the snow (below is a photo taken of a pitch near my house) – as a player I would have been quietly dreading the end of season onslaught – Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday fixtures, nursing of grass burns and the decent possibility of being hospitalised by a cricket ball. As a referee, I’m rather relishing the evening run out…
Good luck on this (found it trough refchat) I need to ask though where is this pitch because it looks awfully like one very near to me to, could be a big coincidence though!
Thanks for that Colin – the pitch is Endmoor (Nr Kendal) in Cumbria…
Haha great, my 1st ever OA game (which was this season) was there! And my brother is playing there this season!
Haha great, that is where my first ever Open aged game was (this season) and wheres my brother is playing this season!
