Watching the City v Norwich game and I have to say the pitch at the MKM is looking in an absolute shocking state. Very threadbare and not just in the football penalty areas.

Rarely watch City but you are right the pitch looked terrible. Blame us no doubt.

So you think playing them against a super league club wouldn't be better in a friendly ? They learn very little against part time championship clubs

Rather than throwing them in the deep end with no experience un a super league/cup match that means something?

Going to all 3

I think there maybe some behind the scenes agreements about clubs we play in friendlies. So we have Bradford, Doncaster and then Wigan- that’s an upward trajectory for fringe first teamers in the class of the opposition. It makes sense to me and l would think TS knows what he’s doing after the 1 or 2 pre seasons he’s done in his career

Some are blaming the rugby, saying that the pitch cannot recover in the summer like other clubs pitches. They've obviously failed to realise that it gets relaid virtually every May/June

Absolutely always football fault for the pitch enforcement start of football season the pitch is spot on, start of rugby season the pitch is an embarrassment

Can't believe people haven't noticed yet

Anyone know if today’s game is on Humberside or FC Live?

Re: Pre-season. : Sun Jan 14, 2024 10:54 am  

Any of the real experts who know their stuff from the city fraternity will tell you unequivocally that that the stadium playing surface will be absolutely fine until after the Wigan friendly then it will be unplayable!!!!

Not going to well. But get some miles on the youngster's legs. Hopefully bit better 2nd half
