West Beach, Fulham, Pontian, Gardens are all generally pretty good

st peters

Although it's a fair bit away from the bar Vikings pitch was awesome when we played on it a few weeks ago

St Peters is rubbish in the wet!

[Rexie]

West Beach always good.

Very Surprised by Easties pitch at the bottom this year. Best we have played on so far.

[Alba gu brath]

I would be biased and say Marden for my best pitch but that is because it is huge and suits our playing style.

Worst pitch would have to be for me Astereas pitch. Really small and has a cricket mound running through the middle, makes it very difficult to play on.

[sirstevieg]

Gardens pitch is fairly good at least its flat & not like a beach not naming some other pitches in Div.1

[ozriel]

breakers down south the best pitch and strath would have to be the worst

[Outlaw 2.0]

Vikings and Southern Knights are fantastic pitches to play on. Both usually have good surfaces and a decent size as well.

Ingle Farm by far the worst surface I have ever trained and played on, when its hot and dry its Hard and bumpy but when its wet its boggy and slippery. Not to mention the 6 foot drop from one end of the pitch to the other. Closely followed by Munno Para and their postage stamp, people having pot shots from half way just gives me the shits!!

[blackout]

breakers down south the best pitch

+1

Breakers....The viewing deck is the icing on the cake.

[Ernie Cooksey]

st peters

no way.
Not even the best in their div.

[Pilots]

No competition, bottom pitch at the Gully, the defense rests your honour.

[ChelseaGK]

Gleeson main pitch is quality. Better than so many others. Not being biased either.

Adelaide Villa is decent too. St Peters OK as long as it hasnt rained in the last 2 weeks.

The best pitch in the Amateur League often comes from NUGGETT about how great Garden usually are
Well, he is a salesman !

[Bomber]

This one - immaculate! (but yes, the bar distance does need to be considered)

Agree, perfect surface...changeroom/bar distance is not great.... especially when it is bucketing it down !

[Cooper]

Being biased but the Noarlunga United pitch is very good, nice and big aswell.

You kidding Right!?!

Play in the preseason there. Pourin with rain. Miles away from Bar, canteen and Changeroom. Pitch is small as well. The pitches up the top are far better.

[OldRedback]

I always quite liked Gully's pitch to play on but you are right about it being too far away from everything. Gardens is also very good and San Marco always was a favourite too. I also like the bog of the Jets at Ladywood for its set up but it got pretty heavy - as for the worst I would have to say Westies mainly because the only thing I have ever won there was a quiz night and I think everyone has an opinion of the Farm slope but I am glad to say that the beer selection there has improved!

Fulham really?

That was our home ground in 09/10 and having a turf cricket pitch right in the middle of the park does wonders to the ball when it rains.......

[swannsong]

Glenunga after a big rain !

[Ernie Cooksey]

Anything with a cricket pitch thru it or square goalposts should be instantly disregarded.

Did you enjoy the Sugar Free Passion Lycee?

[swannsong]

The goalpost at Macedonia are a bit out of alignment !
( Didn't stop them scoring 5 goals in the second half though !!!)

1 of the best surfaces in the league.

The cricket pitch is not a problem now we have made 4 pitches (an extra pitch from when you guys leased the grounds) as we have moved the main pitch closer to the club rooms and slightly narrowed it so only a small portion of the wicket is on the pitch now.

[Big G]

our bar is strategically placed to give all the fat bastards's on the side line some exercise

Plus, it says 'best pitch' not 'club ground'

On topic, not saying it's the best as i haven't played on every pitch, BUT out of all i have seen played on, it definitely is the best in the wet or during weeks of rain (or weeks of rain in one day hey swanny).

Like a carpet....only let down are the square framed goals...
