And I think Iron64 makes a very valid point about the opposition seeing the state of the place as they approach. They must think ‘here’s a club who clearly don’t give a toss about the ground, and everyone says they’re hopeless on it too. Let’s batter them and get out fast!’. Also what sort of inspiration does it give to Cox and the squad? Must be disheartening.
These aren’t minor gripes, they effect the very fabric of the club, it’s mindset, attitude and outlook. ‘Shape up or ship out’ springs to mind.
