Why do you need a new ground?

Maybe this news item from Shrewsburytown.com will shed some light on it...

There was heavy rain in Shrewsbury yesterday and a lot of fans have been ringing to see how the pitch is.

Several inches of rain fell yesterday and this morning the pitch was covered in water, as well as a few ducks and a swan.

That's top quality sports journalism, that is. Not just ducks, but a swan too.
