Slow drying - ie more clay based - outfields can be a nightmare. Our club was once unplayable for three weeks because the water had nowhere to go and so much rain had fallen.<br />Might have been different at Derby, but how many would then have moaned at the switch. Won't hear a word against groundstaff here mate, as there's obviously little they could do.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-77996210264437398022012-07-21T12:52:54.519+01:002012-07-21T12:52:54.519+01:00What on earth is going on.

Not good enough nowadays not to start on time if there's been no rain. Friday wasn't that bad here also. Very poor on the groundstaff's behalf.Marknoreply@blogger.com
