Lets start the "home away from home" debate again.

I'll start.

Palmy was a mistake.

Any idea what our rating would be without the Ring of Dirt and AMI stadium?

I swear NQLD's pitch wasn't that great, it always looked dry.

From 442, pitch ratings by the captains:

"At the conclusion of each A-League match, the visiting captain rates the pitch by assigning a mark out of 5 on 4 criteria: (1) overall; (2) hardness; (3) pace; and (4) smoothness."

Last Friday @ RoF: hardness = 0; pace = 0

Would've loved to see the state of some of the other a-league pitches after that much rain.

Proof that it doesnt mean sh*t then. The fact blue tongue has a higher rating than ROF says it all really.

Wholst the pitch on Friday was a nightmare, I'd expect any pitch in Aussie to be closed down after that much rain.....pretty sure there were a couple of postponed matches due to the CCM ground being flooded - I may be wrong here.

I think the summer part is you just wishing.

Ricki and co have said we have the best pitch in the league [despite the player rating system concluding that Suncorp is] but that was before Friday. Nothing could have been done about the amount of rain that fell [about 25mm in three hours] and nothing was wrong with it before that. Unfortunately Gold Coast have to mark down how it played - poorly.

The real damage was done by the two club rugby games played on it on Sunday but it should be fine this weekend provided it's not to wet for the rugby game on Saturday.

Fuck this stupid game
