Good to see that investments are being made elsewhere at Meadow Lane  Sounds petty but having a good playing surface next season will be something we can be proud of.

I think the pitch is a bit of a luxury really for League Two.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the reasons but we need to have players who can play on a good service. We struggle to find players who can play without complaining that the standard is poor throughout League Two. Also, Dean Leacock said he could never adapt from playing at Meadow Lane in comparison to the training facilities that England uses. At the end of the day professionals should be able to play on any service, so I would hope that they at least appreciate the 100k investment.

Perhaps when we have a team who just look ahead to playing and are eager to take the field at grounds like Newport, Morecambe and Stevenage we may gain promotion successfully.

part of me does think if things dont go to plan the players will moan about how different other l2 pitches are.

but i do think its great to see that the club are trying to improve the standard of the pitch, just the cost for me. i think it could be spent on ways of returning profit, if we struggle or dont play as people hope it wont bring in money. neither would the scoreboard that ah mentioned.

i would prefer to see the tbars improved and the service etc.
