Sorry mate Ill disagree with that one. Id challenge anyone to come to Rosedale this week and have a look at the playing surface and give an honest opinion on its surface and if they didnt say it was at least the equal of Pursner then they'd be lying. The groundsmen have done a great job on the surface this year (after no work due to the horse flu last year) believe whilst we think it looks superb now we wont see its best for another two years when the new grass that has been seeded really comes into its own. Unfortunately for us though during the footy season it doesnt get maintained to the same level that it does for cricket.
Im not having a go at Pursner but it will take time for the surface to settle. And yes I have seen the ground a number of times as I only live a few minutes from it.
