Trav Le Bleu Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 I'd say ours at the weekend was probably even worse tbh, down to different reasons yeh, but it's not exactly unplayable That's a bad pitch? It might not be a putting green, but if you'd told a footballer 30 years ago that THAT pitch was unplayable, they wouldn't have stopped laughing for days.
MC Prussian Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 There's a bit of rugged patch in both goalkeeper areas, but apart from that, the pitch looks like it is in good condition.
Bert Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Hi, Bournemouth fan here in peace, just as long as you all stay peaceful. . Pitch last night was almost unplayable after 20 minutes. Ball either skidding through at a million miles an hour or stopping dead in puddles. Its a decent, and large , pitch normally; and it drains really well. But the large amount of rain in a short time killed the game. The pitch cover was owned by either the FA or ITV, not ours. I'd watch the weather and have the radio on (Radio Solent 96.1 fm) coming down as it could well be off. Suits me fine if its rearranged, on a decent pitch at home we'll give you a decent run for your money; contrary to what some misguided folk on here seem to think. If its on it could be another lottery. BTW, we've got a different keeper now. Yeah, Forest and Derby reject Lee Camp.

Not for some of us, alot of leicester fans have already paid for accommodation for that weekend and we won't be able to get a refund for that. Anyway according to the forecast tomorrow should be a dry tomorrow, which means your groundsman can have a good go tomorrow.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 No rain down here today, and nice and breezy. Should of helped dry it out a bit.
Jace Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 I think it should be postponed we cannot risk drawing a game
Benji Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Looked like really hard work for Liverpool to move the ball about.
Leicesterpool Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 No rain down here today, and nice and breezy. Should of helped dry it out a bit. Sounds good Keep us update whats going on down there, how far do u live from the ground?
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 The met office forecast is for a dry day tomorrow and heavy rain for most of Friday and Friday night/early hours of Saturday morning then heavy showers for Saturday So fingers crossed
Leicesterpool Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 The met office forecast is for a dry day tomorrow and heavy rain for most of Friday and Friday night/early hours of Saturday morning then heavy showers for Saturday So fingers crossed Plus apparently a bit of sunshine is due aswell.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Sounds good Keep us update whats going on down there, how far do u live from the ground? About a mile and a half, its been cloudy for days but actually hasn't rained too much.
kbg Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Yeah, Forest and Derby reject Lee Camp. Who hasn't put a foot wrong since he joined. Wish I could say the same for the bloody defence....................................
kbg Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 About a mile and a half, its been cloudy for days but actually hasn't rained too much. ????? Apart from it raining from 6 o'clock last night without stopping until 7 am. Do you not get out much after dark?
KFS Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 The worst weather came on Sunday, absolutely bollocked it down here. Other than that it's been alright to my knowledge (I have been house bound due to exams however). It shouldn't be to bad, I think that's part wishful thinking/ part weather forecast. Got my family combining a visit with the game, so I don't want it to be a waste of time and money for them. We'll see I guess!
FoxTrott Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Who hasn't put a foot wrong since he joined. Wish I could say the same for the bloody defence.................................... I always thought Lee Camp was pretty decent from what I've seen of him. Do you generally like to play long ball? I would say that kind of pitch suits us as an away side... ...but it won't.
Cgezza12 Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Anyone going down for the weekend? I went blackpool and we were all dressed up (batman, Green Mask, Bane etc.) and we shall be in fancy dress again :-)
GingerrrFox Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 It's funny that Bournemouth fans say they don't have a narrow pitch. When in reality at 71 yards wide they have one the narrowest pitches in the league.
Carl the Llama Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 It's funny that Bournemouth fans say they don't have a narrow pitch. When in reality at 71 yards wide they have one the narrowest pitches in the league. They make up for it in length. 115 yards is a lot for a young woman to take.

I would say that kind of pitch suits us as an away side... ...but it won't. Last night was the first time we've even seen a hint of long ball this season and that was because of the conditions. We really are a team that likes to play pretty football. 130 passes in variations of a triangle before losing it on the edge of the box. Our football is easy on the eye and at times easy to defend against. For anyone who caught it, the Liverpool game Saturday was more typical of the way we play. As was the result.

With the impending arrival of Kermorgant you've got at least a 1 goal head start. That said, Eddie Howe has an appalling record against us as a manager, I think we've won every game and some of them by big scorelines.

Is that why you have a goal difference of -12?
kbg Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Is that why you have a goal difference of -12? Certainly is. Wouldn't have it any other way. We play easy on the eye pretty football, that lacks a cutting edge. I mean, can you really imagine AFCB in the Premiership? No, I thought not.
Deucalion Posted 29 January 2014 Posted 29 January 2014 Bournemouth should consider moving to the Ricoh Beat me to it !!
Soup Posted 30 January 2014 Posted 30 January 2014 Hope it don't get called off,if it does I'll be hoping Forest best Preston,then they might rearrange the game for the 15th as we'll both have that Saturday free.
