£150k pledge 'won't cover pitch problems'

A £150,000 funding pledge will not cover all the drainage problems at football pitches across Dudley, it has been claimed.

It comes after Dudley Council said it will invest the funds in upgrading tired and poor standard pitches and changing rooms at parks over three years.

But Bob Hickman from the Stourbridge and District Youth League has said he "can't see that going very far".

And that more of the games over the last three weeks have been called off rather than played due to the poor weather.
