Smelly pitch

[RonManager]

Did anyone on the pitch notice how strongly the grass smelt yesterday.

 

It was most sweetly pungent.

Sounds like what I was smokin yesterday! Anyone there today, could you get us an eighth :-)

[Whitey Grandad]

That was the smell of victory. You'll get used to it.

[Huffton]

Nope, but I did notice a strong smell of wee in the Kingsland concourse today

[SNSUN]

I thought it smelt nice. It was lovely and soft too. Just how I like it.

[Dimond Geezer]

I did & comented to my Pa about it.

[jam]

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.

Why did you take your Personal Assistant to the game?

Agreed!

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.

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?

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!

I noticed that, looked like a giant Adidas advert.

I don't get that about the £10 notes. Dunce hat this way...

[Gambol2K9]

Most nonsensical thread of the year? Most definitely

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.

I see. Thought it must be something along those lines but was a bit greek to me. I feel young again.
