Gillingham manager Mark Stimson
rued the state of the Stockport pitch after it stopped his most
creative players in their tracks.
Stimson, pictured, said: "It’s not a
football pitch unfortunately and that is never going to attract
perfect football.
"They share it with the rugby club and
it’s a hard one. Do the league come down, look at it and say ‘can
they go and play somewhere else?’ but that wouldn’t be fair on the
supporters.
"I’m sure it’s something the club will
look at in the summer and a decision will be made. It doesn’t help
the football because there were some good individual footballers
out there."
It meant the
Gillingham players had to adapt quickly and Stimson added:
"Our two centre halves didn’t mess around much with the ball and
only once Garry Richards passed it back to (goalkeeper) Alan Julian
and they got caught up on it because it bobbled.
"There were hardly any other back
passes and that was important."
