StevenDavis 112 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm possibly playing for Eastwood (my school) against Woodfarm during the middle of next week. It's an away game meaning that it will be played on their pitch. I know it's similar to the pitches at Toryglen. I've only ever played there once and it was 2 years ago, and I can't mind last week tbh. Has anyone played on it? What's it like and would I be able to slide tackle on it without cutting my leg open?

watp72 54 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Is that the pitches down at the bottom of Rockmount Avenue? or is it the pitch facing the high school itself? From memory I think theres 3 or 4 small 5 a side pitches that are a kinda sandy surface, then adjacent to it is the proper 11 a side pitch, which will be the one I'm playing on. Been a while for me, but from what I remember its a decent enough surface. Not the greatest for sliding/diving on (do-able though), but a good even bounce. Not the Longest pitch ever either, but very wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
