Shaw_nuff Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Great pics! I've lived in London now for 18 years since leaving Brum for uni. For the first time since then I am going to three matches in one week! - Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. Can't wait to see the 'old lady' (as I call her) again. Feel like I'm 18 again. There are few grounds like it... you can stick the Emirates up your Jacksie. My old man always said you could eat your dinner off that pitch. He doesn't look wrong does he? If we ever move I'll lose interest in football, full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw_nuff Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Actually, the real reason it's so perfect is 'cos Small Heath make the occasional appearance to fertilise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted August 24, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2013 I wish I could keep my crotch that well trimmed. If I win a lot of money, I'll employ the Villa ground staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 although there must be a little grass for them to be the flymos out, lol some sort of plastic weave isnt it 6 inches down to drain water away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 The pitch has been great since it was relaid about 8 years ago. Before that it got too hard and we got a few injuries from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember reading that something like 30% of the blades of grass are actually synthetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
