Looks like new goalmouth and flattening the hump, tbh it is much overdue. The better the pitch the better we can excrete our play.

Are you sure excrete is the right word?

Is the raised goalmouth the reason we can not beat the first defender from corners.

First the floodlights, now the goalmouth humps. What next?! Destroying the club’s identity one piece at a time 😔

No wonder the pitch it so good with the amount of excrete on it


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be

Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby

He's heard we do our PR on the pitch and got confused.

Rumour has it Fenty is fertilizing the ground himself  

If that's the case lets just hope there's actually some grass in 3 months time and not a barren wasteland...


I blocked seeing red ticks years ago so go ahead   If I don't reply to you then i didn't read your replies

Trying to play a passing game on a heavy pitch could certainly cost you three points!

Footage of the old Barrett's stand on the OS if you subscribe to iFollow regarding the pitch renovations.

I was in the Barrett's stand the night we beat Everton 2-1....happy days.

It did have a low ceiling, but I knew it as Tiffs.
