intercourse off! No chance he’d spend money on buckets and spades, even with a huge discount, he’s just make them use a wheelie bin and an existing shovel…


.. ...... and get the players to do it as part of their pre-season training

I can see it now ....in a galaxy far far away...

" John, the pitch needs extensive sand treatment in pre season "..

"OK Mike I hear you, I have an account at Samuel's Bazar, go get half a dozen bucket and spades and  over the next few days pop over Fuller Street bridge and get all you need"



I bet it was some show watching him and Wraith faffing around with mowers and tractors - every penny was a prisoner I think .

There seems to be a few subtle digs at the old regime.  
Saying all about the clay still under the pitch, how old the pitch itself is etc etc.
perhaps we didn’t realise what an amazing task it must have been for the ground staff under Fenty !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

This pitch is not just going to be beautiful on the outside, but a work of art on the inside too.

You’d certainly hope that we’ll see fewer postponements for water-logging than we have in recent years. Particularly in August - 3 or 4 abandonments in the last 5 years or something daft.

It's got to be better hasn't it!   I wonder how close the training pitches are to the new Blundell Park surface, you'd think having an identical twin to practise on would give us an advantage at home.....and now I'm thinking of a huge training complex with multiple fields with grass at different heights so the lads can train on a surface each week close to what they'll be playing on for each away game.  If I win the euromllions tonight please don't let me buy the club, the only signings this summer will be Claas and John Deere.....

GREEN !!!!    Does it have to be green?  Green is an unlucky colour!

100%!

And the wheels only really came off when the groundstaff were furloughed and Ian Fleming was given the job card of looking after the pitch.

I'm sure Fleming did what he could, but a groundsman he never was.  Mike Phillips and his very small team were literally keeping that pitch together by a thread, but once the final thread has snapped...
