The AMEX pitch

[Giraffe]

Not seen it discussed anywhere else but who else was gobsmacked by the quality of the turf! It was like being on astrotruf. I doubt it hardly suffered any damage at all.

When I look back to similar occasions on the pitch at the Goldstone and Withdean the pitch was never as good as that.

Well done Mr Groundsman, Groundsmen, or Groundswomen I suppose.

I think Groundspeople would be the acceptable catch-all there.

Or, for those that don't identify as people, Turf Maintenance and Replenishment Engineers.

I call bullshit on this post. You are merely trying to trick people into admitting they were on the pitch yesterday, thereby helping the club invoke banning orders. and for that reason, i am out.

I couldn't tell from my seat, which obviously I never left at any stage of the celebrations.

It looked marvellous from the Lower West when it wasn't covered in hooligans who blatantly ignored simple instructions from the club.

 

[Seagulltonian]

I was staring in wonderment at how high the stands are from being at pitch level

Actually no, it wasn't me, it was my twin brother telling me that story

I was amazed at the strong grassy smell coming from the grass

This. Really strong.

That's it then, you've uncovered the source of revenue which funded the stadium, Mr Bloom is growing weed there.

I like grass.

Wimbledon must really stink for the first couple of days especially if the centre court roof is closed.

Did see some twats actually pulling lumps out of the pitch for a souvenir - unbelievable!

Did see someone had dropped a whole packet of biscuits in the north stand penalty area, crumbs all over the place
Hopefully a CCTV will be able to pick out the culprit, think they were rich teas

It was strange stuff. They use a combination of real grass and artificial fibres. It looked plastically.

Barber should have turned the sprinklers on....

? I just meant it seemed odd to dig up the turf of our home when there's another game to play. It's not like the goldstone when we all took some as it was being dug up anyway. I just thought people would have more respect?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I did notice one or two people on the pitch, I categorically deny I was one of them.

Ah so that is what those lights on the pitch are for when no game on. Its all making sense.

I was quite surprised at how crunchy they were, thought they'd have gone a bit soft
