The pitch is shit, but better than what the other 90% of footballers in the country have to play on.
You could argue these sand/plastic snooker tables that have to be watered every 45mins are the odd ones out. There has been nothing like them in the history of the game - it has changed the game for the elites.
The Wembley pitch is more representative of what everyone else puts up with - that sounds fair enough really. The FA clearly has no more aspirations for it to be the very best. It is just a stadium, up for hire.
So I have no sympathy for Rose - just get on with it! The pitch is the same for both sides.
As for it being a gift, I'm sure Levy can set MP right on that one!
What it is, is available and has more than enough seats for all our fans. As long as the pricing and incentives were correctly set, then the club could have made more of the situation. They chose not to.
