Geek Question - type of sprinklers at the Amex

[Shanker45]

I know very sad question.

We have been having a discussion here at work ( it's Friday and we are bored) about the pitch sprinkler system.

Does anyone know who supplied it? Would really ( well, a bit) like to know details on how far the sprinkler heads retract into the pitch, size of hole etc...

No, this reallt isn't a wind up and yes very sad!

I want to know is: When the sprinkler goes down into the pitch, what covers the hole/gap above it to make it a level surface?

I want to know why some sprinklers seem to keep going longer than the rest.

A small patch of 3G/4G astro turf I believe.

You can find all this out on Youtube - Makes me feel slightly better knowing there are other saddos out there!

It's not like that at the Amex tho is it?

I want to know why nobody seems to tell the players that we have them and they should wear longer studs after the pitch is given a bangladesh style flooding five minutes before kick off

A question that ALL women want to know the answer to.
