county league pre match pitch inspection. All good except no penalty marks in either area.
Speak to groundsman, who tells me he'll do it right away. I give him some time then when I head out to warm up go to check them out.
One is fine, the other is not, approx 10.5 yards from the goal line. I speak to the groundsman again who makes a joke about him having short legs, then goes and marks a second spot at the correct distance. Despite efforts to scuff over the original, it's still clearly visible, so we have 2 spots in the area.
Both teams get told up front if we have a penalty at that end, it's the spot furthest away from the goal. In the end, no penalties either end in a pretty dire game of football.
