What is/are the best/worst pitch(es) that you've been able to play on? For me:
Best

: Tropical Stadium at Tropical Park in Miami. The grass is just beautiful and slopes perfectly and slightly at the sides. Firm yet a bit soft. Very comfortable and pleasant to be on.
Worst

: The South Miami High School field (my home field). Our school was built over a garbage landfill from back in the 70s and as the decades passed, all the stuff underground decomposed or collapsed (trees, refrigerators, cars) and the field slopes drastically in all sorts of uneven places. There are also various patches of gravel, and where there's no grass is dusty sand instead of soil.

best- probably my school pitches, they are always top quality. also, played a game at buckingham towns ground which was pretty good.
worst- played a team from milton keynes a couple of seasons ago and it was like a farmers field. also played a school where it was next to a train station, not fence or nothing between em and the ground had mysterious hard bits that looked like it had been burnt and had great big pot holes in it.

I've found that "hard" pitches are the worst to play on. I'd rather a pitch that is under water any day than a pitch that is rock-hard. There's this one ground that we sometimes play at and after each game there your back and joints in your legs ache for days.

I played on tihs pitch, the ground is not level especially infront of goal which makes being a goalkeeper extremely hard. There are branches and other sht.

here in sydney anything with lush grass would make my day. the worst pitches i've played on has got to be ones with cricket pitches in them. the cricket pitches are actual grass pitches so they cant really take them out, being a CM i continuously find myself slipping here and there

One of the worst ive ever played on was on a farm, the dressing room was a converted stable and the pitch was surrounded by an electric wire fence to keep cows of the pitch lmao. Our home pitch wasnt much better, in winter it got so water logged and muddy the ball wouldnt even bounce when it hit the ground from a goal kick!

the worst pitch i ever played on was complete mud (litteraly) and that was also the pitch i fell and snapped my arm in half (looked like a 90 degree angle)
it was in normal conditions a half decent field but since it rained for two days it just turned everything into mud

Best this season probably Hale Barns which is owned by British Airways I think, the ground was just perfect.
Worst was in North Manchester somewhere, you could hardly see your feet they sank that much, it was on a slope so you were knackered before the second half and you basically couldn't run.

Best Pitch- My School ground was very good once upon a time, very nice grass and it was perfect for football. Early morning dew was present and the ball used to skid alot, which made things very good and attacking.
Worst Pitch- My School again, the school authorities thought that they should renowate the ground for some odd reason and when I reached grade 10, they abandaned the project in between, we were left with mud and stones to play on.

No real 'best pitch' but i've played on 2 shockers
1 was just mud and there was a sewage grate or whatever and there was a MASSIVE dip in the middle. and the other had lots of glass on it
