How many pitches do people own?

Post by Jembo17 »

I keep seeing examples of really great pitches on here that are custom built, or from various other websites, and am constantly thinking "wow, i'd like like a pitch like that". Either because the pitch would suit a specific team that I have or that it just looks great.

If i'd have acted on it, I reckon that i'd possess about 20 different pitches! :o

Being a magpie for such things, in the few months since I returned to playing I own 4 pitches: the boxset one, and three from FF Fields.

I can see there being more in the future as well. This is far more expensive than my dice adiction.

About 15, about 7 of which are the official ones, the rest various fan-made ones, some felt, some roll-up and one "jigsaw" (my World cup one and favourite).

In my defence, I normally supply the pitches for my club.

Might have to count them now... :roll:

I have one I made out of poster board. really cheap and flimsy. and then I have a FF one, but I really hope to be able to make a flocked custom pitch. I have all sorts of ideas and even went as far as writing up schematics and a price list for everything, but never actually built it.

That'll be a 1st and 3rd ed pitches then, with a side order of senile dementia. :wink:
If we're counting old and obsolete pitches (which I can understand from glow :lol: ), then add 1 1st and 2 2nd (the grey polystyrene one - "Astrogranite").

Heff, ff-fields is a company that designs and makes custom BB pitches. See here for pictures of the awesome fields and logos that they make. The price varies, depending on how much customisation you want and what type of board you want.

As for boards, I own:

2 x 'Official' GW boards
1 x custom designed Southern Shrike Bowl 29mm rollable pitch (printed on a material similar to what bar mats are made of)
1 x felt 29mm Impact pitch
1 x felt Street Bowl pitch
1 x cardstock Street Bowl pitch (custom designed from the Hindley St Street Brawl tournament)
1 x cardstock Beach Bowl pitch (custom designed from the Hindley St Beach Bowl tournament)

I'm also getting a custom designed pitch through ff-fields for my Southern Shrike Bowl tournament for this year, bringing my total of full-sized BB pitches to 5 and my total number of pitches of various sizes to 8.
