U18 match on Sunday. Whites v Reds. Pitch was borderline playable following an adult match. I decided to give the match a chance. 4-1 to Whites at HT. I go over to one of the penalty boxes and have a look as it has got a bit more cut up and I brought the managers and captains in as well as a ball. We tried to pass the ball over the aformentioned area and the ball was stopping before reaching the opponent. It also stuck tonthe floor when dropped on the pitch.
I said to the managers that as it stands this area is unplayable. The home managers went and got some pitchforks from the groundsman and proceeded to fork the pitch. This didn't improve the pitch at all and I said my decision is to abandon the game. Home assistant manager said that 90% of the pitch was ok and that we should take the risk. Moron. Went to my bag to collect my stuff and parents were saying that it was farcical of me to abandon and that I took too long to decide. (I took 20 mins after blowing for HT as I was giving them a chance to make the pitch playable).
