Obviously you haven't seen the surface in about 4 or 5 years...

It's is always in great nick, it is easily in the top 2 in the league. The one that's on par with it is Galway. The rest of the pitch's are just shocking, for so called bigger clubs to have such bad playing surfaces is a joke! Worst ive seen ov er the last few years would be the RSC or the Showgrounds.

Brilliant

From what I have seen it would have to be Wexford's home ground. Seen enough of it last season to be a fair judge of it.

Heard Galways is top class too. Cant comment havnt seen it in a few years.

Im quite partial to our own Flancare Park, if i do say so myself.

kilkennys and st francis pitchs were by far the best i ever seen since milltown,
all the other pitchs in this league are a pile of shyte compaired to them.

Easily the equal of any pitch in the leauge .Never looks anything but perfect imo .Never barren looking

ya kilkennys buckley park is a lovely pitch, like a carpet. terryland is up there also. the cross looks nice on its day.

No im not being biased out of all the league pitches ive seen its the best


And also that is such an unbelievably ridiculous statement

Athlone and Wexford.

athlone?? you havent seen it lately have you

Strangely not since Friday 12th October 2007

Think Dalymount park is a nice pitch, but ive never seen any outside of Leinster.

Ramblers is pitch is good but this year it seems to have gone downhill in the pitch stakes.

IMO the winner would be either Wexford or Galway. Looking at Setanta there Saint Patricks pich looks good (i'll have a closer inspection Friday). Wexford is the best i've seen so far.

But what do people think is the best pitch in LOI now, i havent been to every ground in Ireland so Im not qualified to comment.

I was on it and it definitely was barren, last season i'll admit. Only going on what i've seen so far. Equal with most pitches in the league isn't a ringing endorsement to be fair.

I didnt say its equal with most pitches did i ? I said its equal to " any " pitch in the leauge. i.e pick the best pitch in your opinion and utd parks pitch would be at least its equal or better imho .

It was terrible last year.. was down there twice.. bobbley and hilly - like a big basket of hard boiled eggs with a green cloth over it.

Haha. The fact the entire pitch is a hill would be the reason there.

Terryland and Dalymount get the nod from me.
