Help Needed

[hangthedj]

Today the pitch was partially covered with polythene sheeting in an attempt to prevent it from flooding again. Help is required tomorrow morning to help remove this sheeting to allow the sunlight to reach the grass, so that the grass does not become yellow. Help is required from 9am onwards.

Thanks go to Tam, Dave and Vicki for helping me and Ray get the sheets onto the pitch.

Hope to see many of you bright and early tomorrow.

excellent news but it wont get yellow overnight and loads more rain forcast for sunday so surely best to leave it on till monday at least

[margateshot]

SS sorry to contradict but I think Ray knows what he is doing. With the sheets on it will also keep the moisture in and so not dry out. I assume that the sheets will be put back on Sat night before the rain.

[I am Spartacus]

I would think you are 100% correct in your assumptions .

 

I would like to know though who has purchased the sheets so that I could thamk them.

[Boney Crisp]

but up until now it has not rained since Tuesday and Thursday and Fridays weather was good to us so the pitch would have dried up then.

Well done MFC for the 'investment'.

 

A pity again thata bit of news like this does not make the official site/press-would create so much goodwill, and maybe even a few more on the crowds.

 

We do seem to miss so many PR opportunities.

There was an official historical release today about Feb player of month; so why could this inportant news be added at the same time.So frustrating the opportunities that are lost to create interest in MFC

 

Having said that, how much of the pitch do the protective sheets cover -i imagine centre circle and goalmouths, but interested to know

Will your new ground have a retractable roof??

[I am Spartacus]

Yes it will young Sandy and you and your other mate (also called Sandy E) can sit on it whilst we retract it to see how far the dop is.

I thought you would approve of this investment MM - after all,if

I remember rightly,don't clean and (waterproof) sheets excite you.....!!

[Ian_Sanderson]

I hope your polythene sheeting was well secured, with this wind all night, you might not need help taking it up

[differentgame]

Lets hope they`ve stayed put. Need the pitch in good nick so the u18s can play their 6 times cancelled cup game Sunday.

[Tony_T]

Unfortunately can't see that happening! First team comes first and we'll need it for Tuesday night

I do believe they are in the plans and i also believe we are going to have a lot more inches of top soil.

Quite right Ian & so it was! Covers were blown all over,even the metal fences holding down the covers were blown out of position. Pitch this morning(especially the central part)looking like a "bog".
4 days of wind & sun would be the only way the game on Tuesday would be able to go ahead i.m.o & with NO MORE RAIN! Even then I wouldn't guarantee it.As it looks now its a definate no-no to Tuesday.But we can still hope. Its all in the laps of the gods now!

Bet your lads are pulling there hair out Tony, no games for a few weeks now is`nt it?? ( Home Games)
