Watering the pitch 07:49 - Dec 27 with 822 views

Did they put the sprinklers on again last night? We’ve got the fancy new pitch and everything but seems like they might be overdoing it somewhat. Quite a few were slipping on that surface - possibly didn’t help with the Hirst injury either.

It increases the speed of the ball when it's passed on the floor and is done on McKenna's instructions rather than to aid the growth of the pitch.

I wondered that. Seems a bit risky if it was a factor in Hirst’s injury - but then hindsight etc.

Broady seemed to slip at a vital moment in the heavily watered area

However is quite amusing seeing the oppo. subs soaked at half time

The pitch is basically sand, reinforced with plastic fibres, I doubt watering it has any impact on stability at all, it won’t become soft like a soil based pitch.

Good point that. Very noticeable that Chappers and Harness in particular were slipping quite a bit early on, and as you say it may have affected Hirst's injury. Are we watering too much? I'm sure they'll have some data and make any necessary adjustments. Bob Flowerdew?
