 Congratulations in order to all the groundstaff...the one part of the background, that is at least Championship quality. Don't suppose it comes cheap though and I wonder if anyone has asked Jed, if we can maintain such high standards.

Can't really see how there'll be any gigs this season, so we might still keep something half decent for next year even with te expected austerity budget.

Is he under contract?

How much can we sell him for?

Get in!

It's relatively small amount to maintain the pitch but the important part is that it has been a constant approach to building quality in... It's taken 10 years to get to where we are and each year it should get better...

Fully deserved. When you look at some of the other pitches in league 1, it is a credit that ours has been kept in suck good condition.

In all fairness, I thought the Brentford pitch was decent considering all the other pitches we've played on in 2013 have been like meadows.

Who needs to win the league eh?

In all seriousness though, it is a source of pride for me when other fans take the mick. We've got the best pitch in the lower leagues, end of. It's taken a fair old pounding the past few years, what with the nutty weather, so well bloody done to all involved.

Need to offer Cassidy a new contract now, before anyone tries to swoop for him.

Give that man a pay rise!

Give him a pay rise rise...or he may go to where the grass is greener.

Fully deserved.

I heard he's off to Bournemouth.

Who isn't?

I'm not :)

That rules out another league 1 club then.

Great effort and well deserved - good work that man/men

Congrats Marcus, great effort and long may we see the lush green carpet at The CG!!

Must have been good they have named the seed after him that's being sown on the county ground now.
