“They had an injury list the length of your arm,” he recalled. A more stable pitch would start to solve that problem.

I wonder if our pitch has been a factor with our injury problems over recent years.

Alan Lee said it was fecked and needed £1.4m spending on it. It’s never been the same since Furguson left (and of you’re linking to the article I think you are then it mentions him as one of the first big movers when people started taking pitches more seriously. It’s a decent article that, I had a read last week).

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Very interesting article and well worth a read. Yes, I think PRs rubbish pitch can’t have helped the ridiculous injury levels. I seem to remember one of the owners saying that it was too late to do anything about it this season but a new pitch is in the plans.
