Why? Why can't the groundsman be expected to say to his team, "I'm on holiday for week or so, please make sure you turn on the sprinkler"?

Agree it shouldn't have happened though.

Either way you look at it, it's self inflicted and there should be a process in place for all these eventualities especially when a large cost is involved. Sounds very much like a school boy error to me.

Ron sacked a groundsman for an oversight like this!

Or the fact that it's a waste of money sending the media team out as well.

Looking at the amount of season cards sold already. The positive vibes coming from even the part time shrimpers I talk to. The positive, honest and comfortable interviews with players......I would say the media team are worth every penny.

Absolutely. Media is marketing, people are more likely to buy into something they can relate to. Been sorely missed in the last 5-6 years.

Training looks good but when do they all get to have a big game of “Wembley”?

Only the crass would point out his brother.

So his brother was named Arsenal, often shortened to Nal Wyper.

They weren’t looked after properly once built and it’s been damage limitation ever since unfortunately. Madness considering we got a top contractor in and Ron left it to rot. Looks like it needs completely redoing to be honest. But that’s silly money.

Yes our stadium pitch has been terrible the last couple of seasons, last summer they spent a lot of money on new drainage systems but that left little time for the grass to bed in before it was played on meaning it was really poor all season. This summer it has been completely renewed at a cost of around £200K-£250K and looks great! Lets see how it looks in December!

Will you be very disappointed if I don't take you up on your invitation? I'm washing my hair and doing my nails ready for Christmas then. Maybe next year after we've won the NL, and we come to your gaff for the 3 points and bragging rights.
