Best , no .. worst surfaces in Wellington
Porirua Park last night was in fantastic nick. Truly excellent. Which got me to thinking...
The best surfaces that I have seen in Wellington this year are (in order):
1. Endeavour Park
2. Porirua Park
4. Newtown Park #2
5. Newtown Park #1
It's a credit to Porirua City Council that the two best two by some distance are in their area. Well maintained, great flat surfaces, good grass, etc etc.
Worst so far that I've played on is Karori Park!!! utter sh*te again!
2. Porirua Park
5. Bell Park

Woah! Kilbirnie is bad, but worse than the Veldrome? My gosh, really?
Just an observation but why is it that all the stinking, minging, muddy, poorly maintained shambles pitches seem to be in WCC...?
The worst I can think of in the Hutt is probably the Heretaunga Ground that lazy News was whinging about earlier.
Oh, another one. Grenada North... dreadful.

This reminds me of a shocker we had there last year in the middle of that terrible weather spell we had last winter.
We turn up, and the middle of the pitch looks like the Somme, just without the machine guns. The corners of the pitch are some shade resembling green, but are under 5 inches of surface water. And the best bit - the goal posts had sunk in, so the cross bar was at the shoulder height. Luckily there were some practice goals left near-by, so we pulled out the sunken goals and replaced them with the practice ones. But was a mission. And the worst game of football I've ever been involved in, mainly because you actually couldn't play football on that surface.
