Wonder if the turf will eventually match the astro turf colour round the outside. Looks weird at the moment.
It will always look a bit yellow/lighter green after being in rolls for a bit and it probably has to be a slightly different shade to the astro turf to help the officials see on or off the pitch

I think that’s probably why they paint on white lines... :cautious:

? Most of today's officials need white sticks more, they need as much help as possible and most grounds have drainage slopes along the sides, which changes sight lines at low level

May I suggest they then enlist the help of two additional officials to run the line who may be able to flag the attention of the referee in such instances? Nah, I’ve gone too far. Multicoloured grass it is!

As I said, they need as much help as possible, and stop being a pedant

Maybe they turned the cameras off because they want the fans to stop watching grass being laid and focus on a little match we have this evening

Blimey why’s everyone so shirty. All I said was I didn’t expect it to look so shit when first rolled. Never said it wouldn’t look fine in a few days.

People are probably being shirty because it’s not all you’ve said, it’s just the latest in a very long list of nitpicking. Now you are very welcome to do so but every action has a reaction.

And they’ve reinstated/uncovered (whichever) a load of the seats in the North Stand again.

But in the middle tier of the north stand they ages ago put in rows 1-8 of the seats but no more - Each block there has 13-16 rows. I wonder why.

We have a world class team that ensured the pitch at White Hart Lane was always winning awards and looking incredible. I don't think there is anything we need to worry about, they have got this!
But if they had coys200 on staff, would it make the team universe class?
