I know all grass seed is not the same and some is less hardy than others, but I don't get it, why dig it all up ? It will be shit again come November to March next year. Ffs, its rinse and repeat Whats the point ? Might as well just feed it and cut. What a none sense every year.

Do you know what? It still riles me after all these years to see that 'temporary' East stand - an incomplete stadium...

We are better than heck of a lot !

Weeds are good. They keep the soil in great condition.

Dandelions. and Daisies?

Daisy chains and blowing dandelion seeds ? So much better things to do than spending time on social media. Used to love dandelion and burdock drink as a kid.

Magnificent--the Wembley of the North.

The only thing is, will we have a Championship winning team to play on it? Does anybody ever ask why you are in the ground Dave? You have done well Sexy Boy.

Sexy transforms into a mole at a full moon and burrows under the sacred turf.

He can put in the under turf heating for next to nothing then.

Well the new season is almost upon us and the pitch has been interwoven with fibre.
It looks stunning and a testament to the groundstaff on how well the pitch held up last season.
