Cup Tie "Mud Baths"

THE REAL OLD-FASHIONED MUD-PATCH FAVOURS THE "HEAVY" SIDES

By TOM FINNEY

While my own club, Preston, were struggling through the after- rohn's FA Cup game against Bristol Rovers, my thoughts turned to the effect our English climate can have on the football season.

Eastville, Bristol Rovers' ground, is known as one of the muddiest in the country. It borders the river, and although the level of the pitch was lifted during the summer, it is frequently a "mud bath" when most grounds are comparatively dry.

Even in the stand, Bert Tann, the former Charlton player who now manages walls of the office which the club. often surveys the "Plimsoll" line around the indientes the highest level that the water has reached.
