Its a myth that we still have the amazing pitch we once had, mainly from 2003 onwards, under Marks tenure. It's been crap for a few years, probably down to lack of funding made avaliable to him to get it to the standard it once was. When was the last time it was relayed?
Getting a 4/5 gold standard probably isn't all that difficult, no disrespect, but it's just not what it once was. Nearly every opposition manager complains about it and lately even our own manager complains about it being dry and too long.
