Test Pitch
Takes eight weeks of preparation, with the last week being much more intensive.
I guess that is a valid concern but surely the SLC could have compensated for that and arranged for trinity to play elsewhere during this period. I just think its a bs excuse.
How do state sides and CC organise themselves around a test schedule then?
I think SLC thought it's more viable to have a ground of their own rather than pay a third party which is not a bad option at all.
