Not that I see the relevance :confused:
Athlone's pitch is super
Our pitch was complimented by RTÉ yesterday; about the only positive thing they said about us all game!
the rsc is the best pitch in the country by a million miles
In bizarro land only!

You mad? Its as hard as Dundalks pitch and as small as our local underage pitches. The stand is superb though.Quote:

Well the Athlone pitch was like a carpet a few weeks back.Quote:

From what I've seen on the TV coverage this season - UCD has the best pitch.
Galway tostealwin the award thanks to the last minute submission of a sparkly new DVD detailing the different types of grass in use across the league and why their pitch is slightly better than the one at Oriel Park.
All set to the theme music from the Kevin Costner film "Field of Dreams"
Kind of old now don't ya think?:confused:Quote:

One of my friends has played on it a bit in the last few years. He said it is not as nice as it looks.Quote:

If that is the pitch in the foreground it looks shocking altogether ;0)Quote:

Noel Connolly is possibly the best groundsman in the Country.High standards every time.
Yes in yesterday's Sentinel (local paper here) that the Terryland pitch has been selected as the best in the division, with an official announcement later this week
Not sure what happened to the pitch at the Cross for game against Bohs last week.
Aside from our own pitch United Park & Terryland deserve to be in the running. TV pictures can be deceptive so hard to judge based on that. Saying that never seen Terryland in bad condition. Belfield grass is not short enough to be judged the best - leaving the grass that extra inch or two higher covers bumps & also makes for slower game.
Well if all things being equal as regards pitches and GUFC did have a DVD as you suggest then they deserve it.Quote:

Have to agree, I think Athlones pitch is the best I've seen in the country. Thier training pitch next door looked better than most other teams main pitches.......Quote:

I played on united park a couple of weeks ago and the surface was amazing, but congrats to Galway
united park looked class when we were there a few weeks before the nend of the season. but terryland has been superb whenever im there. never any different!
Having spoken to a couple of the Ireland U-21 players after their game down there they were all raving about the surface on the Athlone pitch and in fairness you would think they would know what a good standard is.
Very hard for supporters of Premier Division teams to comment on the best pitch in the country when they havent seen most in the First Division.
