I cannot see a week making much of a difference and I don't believe getting a pitch up for this week will have a detrimental impact on the square for the rest of the season. Most "squares" have 3, 4 or 5 pitches, so surely curators can find a strip with some grass on it? I had a look at the centre square at Rowe Park a few weeks back and it's never looked better ..... very even covering of grass across the entire square.
Every square is different. All get given back at different times from winter sports, all have different levels of traffic through winter, some have different number of pitches, some drain better than others.
If pitches have drained well and grass has already come through strong - great. Plenty of squares wouldn't be in that good condition though.
Ingle Farm was one of the clubs who had a pitch that bounced at ankle level when I was involved. Been 4-5 years since I've seen a game there admittedly so this may have changed.
