A BIG shout this week to Town groundsman Geoff Warren (left) and his staff.

The official Groundsman of the Year awards took place last week but sadly the honours proved elusive for Town.

Reading took top honours in Division Two with Stoke and Oldham highly commended.

However, where is the mention for Geoff?

He has had little or no money to spend and yet only one home match fell victim to the weather last season (Huddersfield Town).

Our M4 rivals may have taken the title but then, with their vast resources, you would expect them to have a decent surface.

But perhaps money isn't everything. Wigan are not short of cash but their pitch was pretty abysmal.

Maybe next year, Geoff.
