King Power Stadium Pitch/Grounds Staff

just a massive shout-out to them for their constant attention to the pitch and keeping it to such a high standard all year round.

 

The patterns over the last few years have been superb. Time and time again they excel themselves and just produce stunning pieces of work.

 

The latest effort...

Surely we have the best staff in this department in the country?! Or the world?

I've not heard that! What's all that about then?

The commentators were talking about during the Watford game, claiming that our diagonal  patterns were stopping the linesmen from seeing offsides, and one of the reasons next season it will need to be straight lines is to help them judge offsides.

They are stopping any pitches having anything other than vertical lines next season as apparently diagonal lines on the pitch make referees not be able to do their job

I was watching 'ref watch' on sky sports news and they had our game against Watford on the screen and dermot gallagher said pitch designs are horrible and don't help the linesman in anyway and was looking forward to next season when they are banned

I do agree about the use of diagonal lines. It isn't easy judging offsides and with it being such an important decision the officials should be given all the help they can get. Horizontal lines give the linesmen a yardstick to judge the play against.

Bloody killjoys. That's absolute horseshit. If a linesman can't look across a line and make a decision, and needs lines on the pitch to do his job, then he's in the wrong job. I mean, what do they do if the players aren't actually on a line when they need to make a call? That's right, they have to make a decision themselves, and they should be able to regardless of pitch designs. Bastards.
