Good article and we know the sprinkle system is still operational but is the drainage still as effective as it was 10 years ago?

Think the rain this season, especially this month has been the worst in 30 years. I believe the club had the drains within the ground cleaned out in close season gone, and they fitted extra drainage in the ground. But at the end of the day, it naturally flows into the local cut by the allotments, which flows into a stream. If the cut water level rises, then this affects the drainage at the ground. With the rain in last 2 weeks it needs many days of dry weather to start to recover. Not happening at present. Without massive investement we are going to have this recurring issue.
