Ok its time to apply for the pitch. I'm sending paperwork to league this week and pitch application by the end of the week.

Basically, the form asks for 4 pitches in order of preference. We've spoke times and have a list now of 9. What I need to know is, which and what order? Most already have teams anyway so it could be just down to luck. If we need to apply again with different pitches we can. I will also call them this week. If you check google earth or google maps with satellite image, you can see the picks. Further zoom or dragging the yellow man gives you street view if you can see from the road. Please check and vote your favourites.

Please note - this is for 'home' pitch only, away games will be held all over Sheffield. Its a case of getting the best pitch we can, not easiest to access!

--------------------------------------------------------------

1, Jaunty Park, nice flat pitch and close to Tram and Bus stops (and a pub across road lol)

2, Ashleigh School, again flat pitches and also close to tram and bus routes.

3, Mather Road, from what i remember not bad pitches.

4, Coleridge Road, think i used to play there with Sharrow ath not a bad pitch atall.
---------------------------------------------------------------

I would love us to get Base Green, its a nice flat pitch with good access, its a shame theres only 1 pitch on there.

1. Ashleigh Sch

2. Mather Road PF

3. Jaunty Park

4. Arbourthorne PF

(based purely on distance from my house. but they all have decent public transport)

From experience the Helliport is a no no, its a shocking pitch!

Ashleigh pitches get waterlogged, as the drainage is rubbish!

Coleridge road is okay has a slight incline but nothing major, id say best of the bunch.

colley or parsons cross park

whos paying for the pitch

Well it would be us....? We have to apply first then make first payment at start of season I think with second in December or January.

These are all £210 or £300 for season.
