Up The City! Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Quite surprised they were so prominent, the rugby played on it a week ago so would have expected them to be gone? Ive known the rugby to play on the Saturday and us on the Sunday and the markings have almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 There was definitely one time early on where the ball crossed the football line but not the rugby one in front of the Dolman and no throw in. It only happened that once though as far as I could tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 This crops up every couple of months or so, but am I the only one who couldn’t care less or more importantly hardly even notice the rugby markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i do care. It looks shite on TV. The rugby have not had a game on it for almost a week, there is no excuse for them lines to be there. I'd say they are then because it makes the groundsman life a little easier for the rugby game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to bother the players or even LJ and we know how precise he likes to be ie length of grass etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 thought if we could have make the football pitch a meter wider then the lines would have matched and give a bit more room for our superb wingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyAB Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Can I just say I think our team of groundsmen work their arses off, especially since they've got to prepare the pitch for two different sports teams and are often working into the small hours to get the pitch ready.

Better to have it all prepared than be fined or something because we can’t get our pitch ready for the games. It doesn’t happen often, just deal with it.

Looking at the Millwall v Everton game I’m surprised how patchy the pitch looks, I know it’s raining pretty heavily but it doesn’t just look just like puddles to me - or should I go to Specsavers??

Just shows how right we were to invest in a Desso pitch. It’s had two games on it in two days and looks in better condition at the end than Millwall’s did at the start of their game. I think the groundstaff spend hours and hours looking after our pitch in all weathers so credit where it’s due, they do a fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I like both sports and watch them both down the gate so don’t really care. That said surely Pat could have 0.5 metre less width and LJ 0.5 metre more and we can have one permanent touch line for both in the middle of the current two which could then be scrubbed out permanently over a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the first change in football pitch size since we started playing at Ashton Gate in 1897 or 98? Taking less than a yard off each side. Why?

A year ago they could complain the results did T quite fall for us and all the UNHAPPY CLAPPERS were out mocking any supporter who anything positive to post. They have nearly all gone back into their little holes but a couple of white lines, pies not quite perfect, farts from other fans - I suppose some people just love to be complaining?

The Bard Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 2 hours ago, hodge said: Assume its a case of a stand with fans in being seen on tv rather than an empty one there were 2 sets of TV fans in the car park today. I guess there wasn't time to switch from the set of cameras doing the football to the rugby, so they decided to just stick the cameras in the empty stand. My theory with the lines is that they are deliberately leaving them visible for both the ruby and football. City and the Rugby team are both used to them, but the opposition isn't. Guardiola asked Johnson about them after the game a year ago, wondering if they were used by us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
