It's not very clear on this but you see where the away stand is - as has been said it's far from ideal for football as all supporters are on the same side of the ground and neither set are behind the goals. It's also very open which doesn't help when generating an aptmosphere - decent bar and a good pie if I remember rightly and I think the best Morecambe performance of the season to enjoy :?: - they are top and looking good but Mark Robins is off to Barnsley so hopefuly this will unsettle them and what better way for us to finally kick start our season than beating the leaders away :o

1-2 Twiss, Jevons

Was watching the highlights of Rotherham/Chesterfield and was wondering, how the F.A allow them to play on a surface like that, it was a disgrace. Surely the players must get a lot more injuries.

agree looks as though they have tried to patch it up a bit but only made it worse

There are a few more "gardeners" in the Rotherham staff, maybe they should concentrate on the pitch rather than Barnsley :lol:

Ithink the reason the pitch is that bad is because U2 staged a concert there not long ago
