The pitch was laid in 2015 and has been subject to flooding on several occasions since. As a result there is a problem with the foundations. Worthing have been allowed to start the season with reverse fixtures (all games away from home until September) and if the problem cannot be easily fixed will play the season at Bognor Regis Town's ground.

I used to be a God, now I'm just a legend.

It seems grass can also be a problem ;-)

sure can sufc. pitches are not simple things!

A little while ago SD mentioned a Desso pitch (97% grass, 3% artificial). Could potentially be the answer. the majority of PL teams have them - could potentially be a longer term solution. Cost is obviously an important factor, think a figure over £1M was mentioned. Curiously one team at our level has one, Boreham Wood.

Do they stop postponements though?

The only way of completely avoiding postponement is not to schedule fixtures in the first place :-)
