Comets 7-a-side pitch conditions

[Ronnie]

You would think the money they charge teams to play out there, that the pitch conditions would be better. Firstly how hard is it to mow a pitch, half of them were like a paddock, all over the place. Secondly, how bad are the pit holes. I am coming back from a knee reconstruction (which was firstly suffered on a comets pitch), and re-jarred it tonight from all of the pot holes. If you are going to charge this much, lift your game Adelaide Comets. DISGRACE!!!!

forgot to do what? mow the potholes?

[chelsea91]

The first week the pitches were horrid but last week they werent too bad, just the weather was a disgrace but tonight should be good.

[numéro_octavo]

Will the pitches be good this year?

[The Chiro]

when does this comp start? or has it already?

[Red-4-Life]

not the best organised competition tbh

[blackout]

Has been better organised in the past. Looks like they got dicked about by a few teams this year though.

It's got to be tough organising this - kinda like herding cats.

[Mr X]

Was last night the first round?
Pitch was a disgrace, hoping it was just the pitch I was on, ie. one of the outer ones, and the conditions are better on the more central pitches,

Does Comets ahve a web site like Athelstone do?

[numéro_octavo]

Pitch was terrible. I played on pitch 8. Grass was too long, far too many pot holes which really didn't suit a passing game. The ball didn't really roll to well and bobbled up on every pass.

Really needs to mowed for starters and although some holes were filled in it wasn't enough.

A shame for a well organized event.

[MegaBonus]

forget about the pitches......whats with the cheap match balls?????

[ManCityMan]

The bobble was a shocker for sure and I saw at least one guy go down with a serious ankle injury during an 8pm on pitch 5 (outer pitch)

There was a tackle involved in that but the pitch definately didn't help and the guys ankle was a balloon within about 10 minutes

On the plus side ice packs were available which helped him out.

Also saw a few nice volleys - presumably due to the problems playing along the ground

Pitch is the only thing this comp is missing, they have the best referees, good lighting and an organised website.


Keep up the pressure on the council guys!

With the amount of $$$ that come in from the event, can they not get a few tonne of sandy loam and fill the holes themselves ?? :?

[Mr X]

Gotta say the sun to the west behind the goals was a real b!tch in the 6:30pm games

[numéro_octavo]

Also should put some high nets up where that barb wire fence is because every time it sails over one of your bench men have to go for a run to fetch it. Either that or have one of your co-ordinators on hand to fetch loose balls. Players are not made to do it in amateur league or state levels.

I'm still hobbling around after mine on pitch 1 on Monday.

That's old age, nothing to do with the pitch

Pitch 2 wasn't bad, well not as bad as some of the others apparently......Some of the boys I was talking to after the game
played on #8 and weren't too happy.

Pitch 1 was a shocker

[Red-4-Life]

whats more annoying is the balls going over the fence!

[Steve#4]

Aim for the goals then, problem solved.

[Mr X]

You'd think for $$$ they are making they would have had someone update the website and tables by now?

[Aldo Serena]

We were on Pitch 6 and the pitch was very good.

[Steve#4]

Still not updated :?

[bapa]

Can you still enter a team, or is it too late???

[Red-4-Life]

Was the other team ;) we didnt get a chance to get that far into attack

[Red-4-Life]

shiraz pitches make the ball bounce and makes it impossible to control the damn ball

[Steve#4]

Played on #1 last night and was expecting a mine field from previous comments.

Wasn't that bad to be honest :?

i played on pitch 1 too, the ball bounced a lot, due to patches of sand making the ground uneven. Not the whole pitch but in parts and it was bloody annoying!

sounds like they have at least attempted to fix the problems from last week then, I coudn't play this week due to last weeks injury.
