Your use of the word must shows utter conviction. Which when you have not the slightest clue what you're on about is regrettable. Let me help you.
If the watertable were responsible then every dounpour in the last 120 years would have resulted in Rodney Parade being flooded. It didn't.
The problem is /was the drains. The problem has existed since our playing at RP. It may have been exacerbated by the groundsmen trying to fix it. The problem was not fixed by Phil Day. It was fixed by the WRU.
One final point, since the remedial work last summer the flooding has gone away. If it were the water table the problem would still be there.
