The pitch is a pleasure to see when I visit BP but I cant decide whether it is an asset, especially in Div 4. Don't get me wrong I would not wish it changed for then world. Would be interested in others thoughts.
Ps My Dad used to say that the Wembley turf (of former times obviously) was the same as the Carlisle pitch being that it was Solway Turf? Was that one of his tall stories? Wanted to ask that for ages

Wembley and Brunton Park were the only places that used Solway Turf. It is too soft for professional football but back in the late 50s early 60s, that's what was used.
