When did the Club change the Booking System On Certain Sites From “Hard Standing Pitches” with electric to “Standard Pitch With Electric”.??.

81 to 87.

We have been visiting Southport Site for at least 18 years and they have had grass pitches. 
Jow can you comment on a site you have not visited?.

How do you know whether or not I have visited Southport site?

You can see for yourself the evidence of no grass pitches on the site page and on the site plan. One can only assume that the theory put forward by Kj is accurate but you really need to contact the club direct for clarification if you have an issue.

We've stayed there and pitched along that side, all hardstandings, we had to pitch sideways. See the satellite photos. They may have been grass before the refurb?

It’s always been that way and we have never been able to book pitch surface type. I think there might be one or two recently added exceptions to this but the general rule is, much to many people's disgust, that you cannot book a HS.

20 years plus membership and we have always booked a Hardstanding pitch with electric. Never ever had a problem until this month. 😱😰

We were there in May this year and member were using the grass pitches opposite our pre booked hard standing pitches.

How strange that a club council member has been campaigning for years to allow a change so we can choose surface type when booking. You surely aren't suggesting he's got it wrong?

well if you've been sites where there are no grass pitches then of course they won't be a problem. In the 22 years I've been staying at sites you have never been able to book a HS pitch - apart from the few sites in the trial.
