At least something is happening at SUFC

[Bladeloyal]

The artificial sun machines and the water sprinklers that you need to use on a Desso cost an arm and a leg to run, I expect the instruction is as soon as you don’t need use them stop to save every penny we can.

Sufc has its own water supply ,but the lights costs

 

[Blade-on-Tyne]

Heard from a bloke who lives near to another blokes uncle who is itk baseball pitch going in..

I would swap a few home runs for endless home defeats.

Bloody United. Work required on Desso so not wasting money or water until needed.

The thing is we have fans posting daily about how poorly the club has been run - no argument there it has to be said - while conveniently forgetting we had no money to spend on xyz. But no, every day, repeat, despite the reasons being perfectly clear.

Did I read somewhere that there's going to be 50 days of rain? Be like skeggy beach

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

It was more interesting than the dross on the pitch for the last 12 months!

12 is why you pay 2000%

I've always thought the groundsmen over water it, also the keepers watrming in the same place each game does that area no good.Other Desso always looked better looked after than ours, Pigs excepted.

This is directly from John Garrett on the stadium tour. When asked why the pitch is watered so much.

The pitch is constantly lit, fed and cut, the water is just a delivery system for the food, we have a water tank (its in the brick structure under the Westfield corner) water is taken from the tank mixed with food and sprayed onto the pitch, it then drains back into the tank, we could water 24/7 and pitch would still not be over watered, perversely, when it rains the food is washed away so even more watering is required.

That's very educational,never knew it was a returning system .

Surely it's the pigeons that supply the food for the pitch.

That's how it works on my lawn, oh and the foxes.

[bladeinspaceandtime]

Just payed 200 quid to a dodgy looking twat to have my lawn relayed, wondered why its got a white line down the middle.

Well, that’s what you get when you employ Abdul’s Lawn Care.

 

[Le Cynique]

Not relaying it, Prince sold it

Don’t tell lies. It was out of contract so signed pre-contract terms with a Dutch club.

We transfer listed the pitch

Might be easier to play on than last Saturday now looking at it, as opposed to when I could barely stand up (shameless I played on the Lane post again!)

It was a right mess actually - I thought even end of season would be fine but was like a farmers field when you got close down (loads of grass on it) but uneven, muddy in bits, hard in bits and made my control look a lot worse than it normally is!

…a poor workman blames……

 

[Rodley]

My Take

Brilliant Desso looking better than ever

UP THE FUCKING BLADES

Don't think that's the only thing that's either changing or being got rid of!!

I played on the Millwall pitch a decade or so ago (in summer). Was rock hard and impossible. They just stopped watering it when the season finished - presumably that's a thing with ground care...?

I suppose if we were ripping the pitch up these are different circumstances though.

All looking good at the ranch.

Oh didn't know Skeggy had a beach !.... never got much further than the slum.

 

[St Annington]

This is impressive. How to turn a city centre stadium into a year round usable venue . . . . if only

 

[straight_outta_compton]

Nothing like the desso webcam I saw. He was a saucy old sod…..

What he and Mel got up to is their own business...

 

[Blade&Snuff]

They dumped all the sand in the car park yesterday, I thought it was going to be a landing pad for PA flying carpet.

He definitely opened a few boxes….

Planting and growing wheat to get some money in.
the bit still green is to rent out a helicopter pad cos we aint got an airport and for the American buyers to sneak in on their helicopter.
A friend of the brother of the Uncle of the Dad who goes to the gym of the brother of a Groundsman told me. ITK.
