RonManager Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Did anyone on the pitch notice how strongly the grass smelt yesterday. It was most sweetly pungent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 I did as I've just reseeded my own lawn so wanted to check out the masterwork close hand. I think the rain enhanced the perfume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyin Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Watching the Football League Show, slightly p1ssed I couldn't help but let out a laugh when SMS came on screen. All the other pitches shown around the piece were like one of those youtube clips of matches from a cold windy and wet 3rd round away day in the 80's. Ours was like it was shot on an August afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 8 May, 2011 Share Posted 8 May, 2011 Despite being trampled by the feet of thousands, as my Dad would say "a lot of £10 notes have been chopped up and spread liberally across that lawn!". Was the stripe pattern on the pitch a clue to the new shirt stripes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph_wiggum Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 and then you get the mongs who show now respect, smoking during the pitch invasion on the hallowed turf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the stripe pattern on the pitch a clue to the new shirt stripes? Funnily enough I said the same. I'm glad someone has posted about the smelly grass. My mate thought I was dead weird when I said how 'grassy' the pitch smelt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 9 May, 2011 Share Posted 9 May, 2011 (edited) I don't get that about the £10 notes. Dunce hat this way... It means (or I guess so anyway) that the cost of maintaining the pitch in such an impeccable state would cost a lot of money, ie the equivalent of chopping up a few tenners and scattering it over the pitch. Old people sometimes speak in funny ways,especially when it concerns money. Lawn fetish used to be a bit of a social divide in the UK.
