That's one I can mark off my pitch management bingo card then, I'll be honest it's something thats been mentioned on here loads before and I have no idea what idea what it actually means outside of draining the pitch, presumably vertically Your man to explain verti-draining is @Dumbarton Rock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I live but a mere fart from the stadium and the grass out my back is starting to get some puddles on it. Obviously my grass isn’t a professionally manicured carpet like The Rock (lol) but I reckon the pitch can’t be a million miles away from holding a bit of surface water if this rain doesn’t ease off a bit. My source who is drip feeding me info live from the stadium says the pitch is completely fine… for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Is the streaming service any good? Sure I have read on here before guys saying it was poor, cutting out etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had issues at the start of the season with the website but they have been sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would never be my choice for the birth to be here in Vatican City but at least I can get the stream legally.

You need to go down 7 to 8 inches to reach the hard-core, that basically leaves a hole straight through your problem part of the pitch so it drains away fine. A day like this which a soggy pitch will close most of the holes up though and your heading back to square one. That's why you need to do it at least 4 times a season on that pitch. 20 years of just the basic maintenance to blame I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a great day to bring a baby into this world watching Scotlands OG champions romp to victory too All the best with it, whenever it happens. FWIW, I applied for a new job from the labour ward (which I never got) so watching the match is much more justifiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I agreed to go to watch Dulwich Hamlet at Lewes today, in possibly the most middle-class clash ever, so I won’t get to watch the stream, annoyingly. Just hope we don’t get hit with a last minute call-off at the rock. Edited December 9, 2023 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, Dulwich is very much New Labour, Guardian reader, middle-class. Once saw a man checking the scores on the Guardian website… Lewes looks like a Tory bastarts constituency, though!

FifeSons Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 They really need to allow drinking at L2 matches. The clubs down South make a fortune from it. Probably a similar crowd at Lewes today, and absolutely no issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 We absolutely battered them for the first 25/30 mins but we failed to take advantage, and not for the first time this season. Things looked a bit more even for the last 10/15 minutes and Stenny do look dangerous on the break but we’ve done well at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 A half of two halves. Dumbarton dominant and should have been ahead in that early period but last 15 minutes or so we have got a foothold and applied some pressure. Great stream by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve really sorted it out from the shambles it was. Don’t tell Jan, but the commentary isn’t as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
