sharrowowl Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) what's he said? That the earthquake in february 2008 ruptured the soil pipes from the kop urinals and now all the piss from matchdays just soaks down under the pitch. That's why come December its such a state. The pitch is just a giant piss sponge and it's killing all the grass. Finally we have the truth. Edited January 29, 2015 by sharrowowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It's clear it's more than just a bit threadbare. It's completely fecked and looks wrong. I'll ave to listen to this on playback later. We need a new one now if we are to have a chance of playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Know Dave well from our childhood, we used to play football together, he was a decent keeper and world class groundsman. I'm almost certain he was apprenticed to Mr Blunkett. Not from the horses mouth but I heard he jacked in at Hillsborough due to PTSD after the Semi tragedy. A great lad who loved his football and proud of his role at Hillsborough and Yes, he did win awards for his groundkeeping at Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close the urinals, stop people weeing in the ground and the problem is solved then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The issue is the grass not rooting properly, which he mentioned happened before because one of the directors wanted the grass greener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
