The cynic in me says it's been used less tham most pitches but...
How times have changed though. Only a season ago our pitch was an absolute embarrassment and many of us remember the long grass of 1996-97!
Congratulations to the ground staff. Well deserved.

I remember the drainage debacle of the early McGhee era. We still managed to slap 7 past Burton on that striped pitch! Carayol with a few? 6 past someone else? I also remember the club going up to Everton and coming back with the same grass seed they used only for it to fail! Rugger in those days mind. Fair shout to the current lot, it has looked spectacular all season.

A well deserved award and thoroughly deserved.
After the debacle of the wrong sand, a real feather in the cap of the head groundsman who had only just joined us at that time.

Congrats to our grounds staff, excellent job. The pitch has really improved since the egg-chasers moved out (thank god). Hopefully soon enough we'll reap the rewards by playing free-flowing football on it  |

Unless GC finds a local Gaelic football team, Hurling outfit, Rugby & Aussie Rules sides to rough it up a bit! Only joking 😉

Problem is too many opponents have enjoyed it to our cost

Considering the quality of some of the stadiums in league 1 this season, that is some achievement, well done.
As others have said, it's just a shame that most of the other teams have played better on it than we have.

Well done ground staff, hopefully next year we will see some of the best football played by a home team on the best pitch in the league. Sunderland supporters moaned about our poor stadium , well Sunderland our stadium might be poor but we have a better pitch than you.
