Re: Southend Thread
Just looking through some old articles and here are a couple of quotes:
1972-73 Problems with the pitch at the Crown Ground forces Stanley to return to their former home of Peel Park for a game against Nelson.
1975-76 Further pitch problems at the Crown Ground lead the club to consider a permanent move back to Peel Park, though this was not to be.
1979-80 Finished runners up in the division but denied promotion due to pitch problems.
1983-84 The club spent £40,000 to improve the pitch that had caused them so many problems in the past.
