Pitch condition
31/01 There was a midweek game scheduled for the youth team against Winchester on Thursday 31st but it was cancelled due to the waterlogged pitch so why were the first team training on it on the same night?
Confused fan
01/02 Having just spoken to Pikey he tells me the team did not train on the pitch last night but used the outside pitch behind the "cemetery end" goal.  The main lights were on for a time while they took a good look at the pitch.

01/02 I thought this was obvious - this is because the first team are more important than anyone else.  Come on Confused Fan - wake up and smell the coffee.

01/02 Sorry they did train on the main pitch I'm afraid to say.  They seem to train on it most Thursdays.
Someone in the bar
01/02 We played 5-a-side on the pitch in front of the dugouts last night after our warm up on the outside pitch.

01/02 Would Pikey be interested in signing the ghostly figures I saw playing on the pitch as I viewed from the Club House?  Or is a full training session with a ball now technically called 'having a good look at the pitch'.

01/02 Yeh good plan - damage the pitch the public can use!  Does the Club pay to hire the outdoor pitch to train on?
Outspoken One
02/02 I'm not being funny but the pitch is for the first team first and foremost anyway.  I think the Club allow too many other games on the pitch as it is.

02/02 I cannot believe that you are even having a discussion on the state of the pitch at Privett Park!  It is obvious when a simple pass to a team mate bobbles about until said ball is eventually sliced into touch!  When Gosport allow substitute players and young supporters to kick into the goals at half time then surely you guys must know you are not going to get a surface that encourages a passing game.  Hardly a professional attitude.  Are Gosport Borough trying to progress or are you just there to see how things might work out?  Whatever, I wish you well and would like to see Gosport push for promotion next season (under Alex Pike?).
Frustrated forward
04/02 Agree with Frustrated Forward re subs at half time.  They tend to just muck about.  Anyone of them could be needed seconds into the second half. Shouldn't they be in the dressing room hearing the managers team/tactics talk in readiness.  If they need to come on, they can always tick over for a few minutes before re-start.  Lets face it, you can warm up/stretches etc in the dressing room and hear the manager at the same time.  Basic stuff to me - not whacking balls out of the ground.
Scummer
09/02 Surely the subs should be in listening to the managers team talk?  I have to say I agree but this is standard practice (subs playing shoot at the goal) at almost every level of football at half time.
