Annual holiday snaps of stadium pitch work

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Just to distract us from important questions like '"where the feck is our new manager?"

The twist this year is extending the pitch to accommodate rugby posts and a 3G track.

Anyone know how much time the ground-staff will have to do repairs between a rugby match and our next football match?

 

[SwedeFox]

No but I'm sure homer will be along in a minute to tell us

 

[Durham Fox]

No mention of loam? Shambles.

Hadn't we accomodated rugger in the past as well?

I've seen the Tigers play there.

Yes, but this is the Rugby World Cup. It's a bit like some of the European football competitions that say pitches should be XX size. One would hope the Tigers are footing the bill for the extra work.

The RWC is nothing to do with the Tigers.

Why?

Oops, too slow.

Aha, makes more sense then. Surely the RWC will be funding this through whatever charge we putting on for use of the stadium though?

 

[jb5000]

Even slower!

 

[Nottingham Fox]

FFS

 

[Blue Maniac]

...one of the finest surface’s in the top-flight...

Nope, not reading any further.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Come on! You know you want to read about This track is a 2015 Rugby World Cup requirement and includes a 25mm shock pad and 60mm rubber infilled carpet to minimise the rise of injuries to players

I am mystified as to why a 3G pitch is neccessary for the warmup track, but not for the field of play.

Fool,

Imagine the uproar if players used their mobiles on the actual pitch

 

[jb5000]

Quite right. They probably need good reception to download sextapes while they wait for chance to go out and play.

You mean upload of course....

4G would be much quicker. I very much doubt they'll get anything during a game anyway.

Meh, told you 3G was good enough - if it's good enough for the egg chasers then it's good enough for anyone.
