"same for both sides"
where did I say that Western were the only team being disadvantaged by playing on that pitch? The point is that for a senior game to be played on a pitch barely within the requirements was poor for both the players and spectators. There was a larger pitch alongside not being used at the same time: If that's not ridiculous I don't know what is. Oh and don't try and take some kind of moral high ground with your "welcome to the east" comment: it seems like you're very sensitive to the fact that your club provided a crap pitch that did a disservice to BOTH teams...
