We zipped it around very well. I didn't notice any problem with the pitch.

Looked dry with clumps coming up when players were sliding. Blackpool put the sprinklers on for the half we were going to attack 2nd half. But didn’t water the half they were going to attack.

87% pass success from us. Most Premier League sides fail to hit that.

Ha ha, that made me laugh. We were commenting on how many pigeons were on the pitch. They were loving it :D

the pitch looked like it had serious bobble, not seen so many miscontrols from our lads this season and that includes Luton's trampoline

To be fair the pitch was ok. As for the away facilities it really was league 2 standard. Portaloo's and a freight container for a "bar". It really was a poor set up.

Which side was that on? We were in the traditional away end (gates 18-21) and didn’t see any portaloos?

Vinny’s had a rare kick off about the astroturf on the sides - https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/f ... 391076.amp

We went through the other end (turnstile 35 I think it was) - it was like being at a really bad music festival :D

I was at the North end turnstiles, 22-25, and couldn’t believe it when I walked in. Like stepping back in time 25 years. Portaloos?? Unbelievable. It was only marginally better than when we were always on that tired, crumbling open end with our Hard hats on. Pathetic “facilities “.
