Played Myton on the 3G due to pitch maintenance

Edited by terryg, 21 July 2012 - 09:24 PM.

IMO I personally think playing games on a very small 3/4 size 3G pitch is poor.

I know the come back is going to be that the game got played, I'll agree but to a massive advantage to the home side.

[Tangerine]

Can't agree with that have U seen Myton pack compared to East don't think Myton would have complained!

[pluto]

None of the Leigh East players want to have to play games on the 3G, the pitch suits big teams that plough through the middle and thats not Leigh East. But unfortunately it's out of their hands, they will probably suffer more because of this.

Have they only the one full sized grass pitch?

[terryg]

The other full sized pitch is outside the fenced club area and is also undergoing annual maintenance.
The 3G is full size but much smaller than the main pitch both are legal and comply with RFL Laws on pitch size, otherwise no game.

I know it killed us a couple of seasons ago in the national cup, found ourselves 20 nil down in as many minutes.

Probably an even older saying, "Home teams advantage"

Did we whinge at the time or at any other time since "NO" did we make new friends on the day "YES" did we give a good account of ourselves, " I think so"

Who's asking the questions?

Myton didn't want to play on the 3G either, as said obviously advantage to home team as Myton hAve never played on a 3G pitch before.

Have you seen Mytons field, it's one of the widest in the league as they play an expansive game not down the middle.

No problem with the 3g pitches, they are a level playing area for both sides, and if you cant play rugby on these pitches its time to pack it in.

Jackknife did make a statement.

Not seen Myton pitch wasn't a reference to style Myton play just fact that you have a big physical pack so it suits more than it would a small side

Do Widnes play on a small synthetic pitch?

Widnes' home form is pretty good, but its actually full size

[unsilentmajority]

Myton probly the best side I've seen this year, big pack plus very good half backs, hookers decent and their centres are also very good, dont think it matters what pitch they play on they're a good side
