It means nothing. Oriel is the only properly tested pitch in the country and it passed those tests. In other words, it could be considered the best pitch in the country because it is the only one up to standard. :p

As for the rest. Surely they should be subjected to the same tests as Oriel.

It is actually a very unfair test. Oriel loses 20% instantly because of grass coverage. Also, how the hell can a bunch of players know if a pitch is watered. Surely they all are due to the weather in Ireland.

Did you not know that all players are qualified groundsmen and have been accredited by FIFA in pitch quality control. :rolleyes:

Was at Jackman last night and it was in absolutely fantastic nick the best I've seen this season anywhere......However Jackman will always be marked down because of the actual ground itself.

i came on here to ask longford fans what they thought of the pitch and saw your post. so do you think De Jacks has according to the report the 3rd worse pitch in the league? I actually think it has one of the best if not the best in the first division right now. Athlones was very poor last week with some aquatic plants growing around the pitch

Still fairly bobbly though.

I've been at both games in Jackman this year and both times I can safely say it's the best we've played on. It was perfect for the last one.

Have you been to all their away games to compare tho?

Also, Athlone officials delighted with the good quality of the pitch in the RSC at the weekend.

Must say I'm fairly surprised Flancare Park is so far up the rankings. Thought the pitch was very bobbly on Saturday night. Very rough looking in patches.
