Former Hull City groundsmen Darrell Cook and Mark Harrison are taking the club to court.

The Sun says they're claiming they were sacked over the state of the KCOM pitch.

Cook and Harrison say they were dismissed last month after claims the playing field had been deteriorating – even though it looked like a “bowling green".

Both insist they were axed unfairly and have set up a crowdfunding page, 'Pitch for Justice', to help take their bosses to an employment tribunal.

The pair – who claim they are not looking for compensation and only want their jobs back – hope to raise £5,000 in order to pay their legal fees.
