All quiet on the football front..

Well, I was supposed to be going to see the relegation battle between Bracknell Town and Taunton Town tonight at Larges Lane, but like last Saturday’s trip to Didcot, and last Tuesday’s visit of Gosport Borough, it was off!

But what is going on? I am one of those who is sceptical about the effects of global warming (I had a professor at uni who convinced me it wasn’t all our fault) but I am becoming concerned about the horrific weather conditions we are experiencing at the moment, particularly when it get in the way of the football.

Frozen pitches put paid to Sunday night’s six-aside league on the astro pitch at Bracknell Leisure Centre, and I played in goal on Monday in what can only be described as a big puddle at Prospect Park in Reading.

My point is, if these so-called all-weather surfaces are suffering, what hope is there for grass-based football.

The Bracknell pitch is well renowned for being laid on clay, so this isn’t disappearing quickly!
