nice to get a cut and start our 1st pre season roll today, in a really good place fertiliser kicking in well, now time to push on before we start prepping wickets. #groundsmanlife

pitch set for tonight Gane 71 of season and the final game of a hectic 14 days with 8 games. fertiliser end of week and a bit of R and R @CrowboroughAFC

we are set Game 67 and our 1st of 3 this weekend. Sun is out, pitch slowly starting to recover day by day, @CrowboroughAFC

pitch set to go again tonight, game 66 of season, 4th game in 4 days. good luck to the boys tonight, @CrowboroughAFC

13 days ago the pitch was a muddy mess but now set and ready to go for today’s fixture. 1st game of 8 in next 15 days. bring it on. @CrowboroughAFC

@JARVISBROOKFC @CrowboroughAFC 😂 at least yours is just a corner 🙈. i’m pleased it happened this side of the winter and recovery is hopefully round the corner

@NickCollick @CrowboroughAFC Noooooooo... it looks like our corner now. Best thing to do.... turn the lights off, head to the bar and try not to swear too loudly

pitch took a real hit at the weekend 3 games overall took its toll, repairs started today to get surface back flat, few hour with the fork and a pick me up feed in coming days will hopfully get it back into shape in the coming week. i do like challenge 🙈. @CrowboroughAFC

@ThreeBridgesFC very kind indeed, hope you enjoy your visit just not the score line 😉. all the best for rest your season

We understand that not only has Crowborough's groundsman got the pitch in good condition for today's game, but also welcomed a baby into the world this week! Well done and congratulations to that man, a few beers due 👏🏼🍻 #UpTheBridges🧡🖤

Pitch all set and Game on finally!! game 60!! rollercoaster week away from the pitch, nice to spend some time this morning touching pitch up ahead of the game. No fancy stripes. now back to family duties with an eye on the score. updates please . @CrowboroughAFC ☺️

@StevenV67 @crowsunofficial @CrowboroughAFC in any normal year grass isn’t a problem, before this season we had only 7 postponements in 7 years. don’t give up on grass because of a tricky season!!!

@NickCollick @crowsunofficial @CrowboroughAFC It's such a shame that funds aren't available for a 3g pitch.

Match off. Despite improvements to the pitch and much of it looking good, forecast rain raised concerns and the ref has called it.

@crowsunofficial @CrowboroughAFC Thanks Mark, no one at the club wants a game called off, 4 hours on pitch yesterday getting it into as good shape as we can, rain has been ridiculous always planning and looking at options of how we improve all the time.

@CrowboroughAFC The rain is relentless. Well done to everyone at the club, especially @NickCollick putting so much effort in. Not sure everyone appreciates the general work that goes on in trying to get the game on - inspections, programmes, social media. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@_BenBraddock_ @CrowboroughAFC 1st time in 2 weeks been able to get a machine anywhere near it. some areas are battered and brused but it flat and firm currently

@NickCollick @CrowboroughAFC Well I’d say thats looks pretty brilliant Nick considering both the weather we’ve had since September and the number of games it’s had. 👊🏻👍🏻

Done all we can for now, pitch set for tomorrow’s game, been one the toughest few weeks since taking over the pitch 7 years ago, pitch now in hands of the gods please be kind to us 🤞. @CrowboroughAFC

@_BenBraddock_ @CrowboroughAFC should said breath 🙈

@_BenBraddock_ @CrowboroughAFC 9inch down, Helps water get further into the profile, also gets air into the surface which helps root breast and prevents rotting. after last night rain we have no surface water. 🤞 few dry days will continue to help us

Really pleased to get a verti drain done on the pitch before the rain hits tomorrow, really busy schedule over next few weeks and this will give us the best chance getting through it. will now leave alone for 4 days let it breath. @CrowboroughAFC

@JARVISBROOKFC @CrowboroughAFC soon be spring and this weather will be behind us 😂😂

@NickCollick @CrowboroughAFC Was desperate to do the same but the corner of doom has absolutely done me there. Life will become so much easier when we have had that drainage fixed

We are set for Game 58 of season as we welcome East Grinstead. suns out join us 3pm Ko @CrowboroughAFC

@CrowboroughAFC Huge win!! Up the crows.

Yessssss

@CrowboroughAFC YESS Harry

76' Go on forster!! What a goal . HAS 0-2 CRO
