Quote: The Key "If it was a summer sport, I seriously doubt that the pitch would be damaged much by football. When people realise its winter, not any particular sport, that screws up pitches the better as the argument is boring'"
Also helped by the fact there is no pushing in the scrums like in the old days. Like you say winter time is always worst no matter what's been played. More water/less sunshine= soggy pitches which are easily cut up.
