One that was out of use for a couple of seasons but I think may be back is the Lisnagry pitch. More sand than grass, sidelines about 2 feet from the nettles and trees and a one foot high ledge where one of the goal lines should be.

Played the 4b divisional cup last night against St Pats lost 1-0 but the game can be described as a farce complete joke....:mad:
that pitch was a disgrace, i'm sorry if there are St Pats people on here but that pitch was horrendus.. it made good footballers look stupid , it was a horrible game to watch... best of luck in the next round if you have home advantage you have great chance to go to the final

Eh, what about Glenview's pitch. Worst pitch in the history of football.
had the same opinion until last saturday, now and until they decide to do something about it, st pats pitch they put out on saturday is the worst pitch i have ever seenQuote:

i wonder is there anything that the ldmc could do though some of the above pitches have been bad for years
Looking forward to the semi final sidecutter? Should be a good game!
Lisnagry - played it last week not the greatestQuote:

Bruff - when wet terrible pitch but least its flat
St Pats - a joke there is space there to move to side and least be semi flat
St Pauls - one of the few pitches i have kick a ball out of defence and don't see it land because of the slope :D
Kilteely - never played it
Cals 1, 2 & 3 - Cals 1 is ok never played 2 and 3 but suspect there bad when wet
Summerville - never played
Shelbourne Maternaty field - thats not bad its flat and you can play football on
Bateman Park - played once but when played it was ok but expect better pitch for premier team
dont forget about crooms pitch "TERRIBLE"Quote:

waste of time, because they probably don't think they have bad pitch... was in town at weekend and lad from st pats .. who recognised me from holycross.. while chatting said the pitch was not bad. i couldn't believe he thought that way.. but i suppose most teams from each of the pitches mentioned think that there pitch is grand cause they have played on it for so longQuote:

The pitch is bad and very difficult to play on. we do have room on the side and that area was the main pitch. we had some refs play games in dire weather and destroyed the pitch. the club had no option but to switch to this layout. anyone who knows the area or played us a few times knows the current pitch is a temporary one.
I also agree that there should be a minimum standard required of pitches for LDL games and clubs that fall below this should lose home advantage
i hope it is cause A's stil to play you at home, and your pitch most be fine now with all this good weather :)Quote:
