Mkm pitch : Sun Jan 12, 2025 4:43 pm  

I've seen a couple of city games recently and the pitch doesn't look in good shape at all, cutting up quite badly and a lack of grass in some areas. No doubt we'll get the blame but it's not great so s9on after it was all dug up and relaid

It's in a right state. Looks like City's owner wasted that £1.5m.

Think I’d be seriously asking for my money back if I’d paid for that. I know it’s been a wet winter but even so I don’t think I’ve seen the pitch look so bad and considering the upheaval of yet another new surface and all the new lighting system to maintain the surface.

haven't they been using some lighting too to try and keep the grass from deteriorating or to help it grow during the winter months?

The first City match on TV, after our first game of the season, the commentator will say, ‘of course Hull City share the stadium with Hull FC.’

They say it every year, so it looks like it’s due to the rugby.

It's due to the high energy entertainment both clubs put on in 2024 wearing the pitch out

Think it was 7 wins between both clubs all year, by far the worst performances since the place opened.
