Today Sunday the 29th of April is two full weeks since we played our first game at Kirkstall C Cit was a preseason friendly against Leeds Met University and that's it. One training session has been possible but that was only on the outfield the grass pitches have been unfit.
I have sheeted and the water ran under despite our sheet covering 4 pitches, so I take them off just as they are drying out a little we put them back on -thinking that is the right thing to do- then we get disease and draw moisture up and rain runs under again, so I take them off and start the process all over again.
Our League sent out an Email on Friday with a very strong suggestion -in red type face- that all the matches would be called off and rearranged for the end of the season but then failed to implement the plan.
We called the game off at Kirkstall as preparation had been not been possible, however to add to the problem the opposition insisted on travelling -which they are fully entitled to do according to the rules- this caused problems and upset.
Tomorrow Monday it will be two weeks and a day since the square was cut it has never been as long Summer or Winter since I have been groundsman here.
When the Sun Shines the World is a Happier Place.
