Grass

[Artie Fufkin]

It’s probably been mentioned/discussed already but was just wondering if we’ve heard if the growing of the grass has been a success?
The pitch looks immaculate from all the photos but have the club or Gus indicated that they’re happy with how the playing surface is shaping up to suit our slick tippy tappy football? It certainly looks lush.
Fergie frequently goes on about Wembley playing slow and I think we’ve used the same grass & fibre ‘technology’?
Any keen green-fingered fans had the chance to confirm the lushness in person?

It looked bumpy when I was down there the other day, with a hump in the middle of the park, so it'll be interesting to see how it plays.

Cheers ELS...might need to get the big rollers out

I imagine it's a disaster and will be the laughing stock of the football league.

Could that be where the cup final money is buried?

I should imagine a good few supporters would like to have a hump in the middle of the park.

The burning question is what grass pattern are we going for today on the webcam it is diagonal stripes! Squares, fat lines, criss-cross so many options

Judging from the pictures 4 months ago, I would say the grass growing has been a great success

See Ask the Club on 3 June responded to by Insider on 8 June.

Seems the head groundsman was happy about it even then !

 

[Napper]

That picture of the centre line someone put up the other day made it look very uneven

Why in gods name do you need a high vis jacket to mark lines on a vacant pitch?
