Cardy Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Did anyone else notice how faint the pitch markings were today? I'm surprised the ref even allowed it - the penalty box at the South Stand was literally invisible from 40 yards. Bristol Rugby seem to have got their feet nicely under the table now that is for sure - as soon as the match was finished today there was a guy out on his mower. Shame they couldn't be arsed to do the football markings but I guess that would have spoilt the pitch for the rugger lot. Pissed off in so many ways this evening & not happy at all with how this Bristol Sport blueprint is developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 My God, the theories never end. Now Bristol Rugby are trying to overthrow us by getting preferential treatment from the Bristol Sport pitch marking department! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion they weren't & yes I reckon they were deliberately not done because there is a rugby match tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hardly see the touchline in front of the Dolman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 And this affected who? Our team, their team, the ref, or anyone in the stand with OCD or a weird paint fetishism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 agreed pitch markings are faint, but no different to Last season. When weather bad its hard to make lines out. I suppose they are ok otherwise ref would ask for them to be re-painted. Must be hard for ground staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the lines are pretty much invisible like they were from the Dolman then of course it affects the fans view of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was just badly done. I think there's a new groundsman this season and we're normally spoilt with the pitch. Not everything is done with an agenda.

East End Old Boy Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 If the lines are pretty much invisible like they were from the Dolman then of course it affects the fans view of the game. Perhaps not having the Williams stand shadow is also having some effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 So what is better, faint but visible lines or heavily lined blotched out with a mismatched shade of blueish green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
