I put a fair bit into the pitch covers, were all frustrated. At best they cover half the pitch, so we need ones to cover all the pitch surely. The drainage then where all this water on the covers goes is an issue. It runs to the sides and back feeds under the covers into the ground and lifts the water table, so self defeating. As Ollie says, we need better drainaige around the pitch and not just flow into a mud filled ditch by the allotments.
That said, the rain in the last 2 weeks has sodden the ground. It has to be the worst amount of winter rain in memory in this area.
The club I am sure are looking at how to improve the pitch and surrounding drainage. It should be in the 10 year plan.
