Rules on pitches

Surely the FA etc must have rules and regs about the quality of pitches?

How are Blackpool getting away with it? It's unbelievable.

Ultimately it is them who feel the effects, points and injury wise.

Every league team has to play their once. They have to play their 23 times so its far more likely they'll be the ones suffering from their own poor pitch.

I'm not doubting its worse for them but wondered how they are allowed to do it.

Not sure it even looks safe.

How the heck is withholding money going to help the situation? If anything they should be ordered to sort their pitch and stadium out with the parachute payments or risk a demotion/points deduction until its up to a suitable standard.

They are an ex-Premiership team, The pitch looks League 2 standard. It's a disgrace.

This wasn't about fans falling through the stands. All teams have bad pitches every now and then. There's no advantage from have a bad pitch if anything it's bad for the home team.

I've seen ploughed farm fields that look better to play football on than the Blackpool pitch
