I once read an article about Glen Nortcliffe who was (I think still is) the head groundsman at the Lane. It mentioned in the pre-amble about the opportunity ot take a penalty in front of the kop whenever you felt like it. I guarantee if they included that in the job description applications would increase dramatically

 

[TJB.]

I'm not even remotely qualified. Sounds an alright job, though.

I suppose if Dean Hammond can make an appearance as a professional footballer, an office monkey who dislikes getting mucky could easily be a groundsman.

I want the job but I’m 33 years old.... I’d seriously go for it if they paid me minimum wage instead of the £75 a week an apprentice would get, and I’d be more enthusiastic and reliable than a millennial !

Apply for it then: In fact get yourself down to the Academy and speak to the Head Groundsman... NOW

 

[PokerBlade]

I too have always wanted to poke pitchforks at grass

Is that not what man has dreamed of since he first looked down at the ground?

 

[Sean Thornton]

More expense on bloody pitches. That's Duffy gone again in the summer.......

If you are 33 you are a millennial.

I too was interested, until I read the bit about 'Significant physical work'
Ooooh where's me recliner......

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Its not the lane. Its at the academy only.

 

[Sean Thornton]

If you are 33 you are a millennial.

Not on your nelly, millennials born 1990+ id personally class a millennial as a child/now adult that has always had access to the internet either at home or school and never played knock a door run or kerby.

I’m 35 and I’d class myself as a millennial. I’ve heard it defined as anyone who was 16 or under at the turn of the century but was old enough to remember it. Semantics I suppose.

I know some millennials that work hard for their money, some who don’t. Just like any other generation really.
