It’s a shame. There was a pitch in Falmer that was free last night.
I know. Agreed set of matches to be played each year. Supposed cost of opening the stadium etc etc blah blah blah.
I don’t think there’s a rich enough data set yet to apply the same model to the scouting process. I could be wrong, but I imagine it simply hasn’t been invested in in the same way that the men’s game has.
