As for the greenkeeper in golf I normally prefer a fast green masel but fk the greens over here anoo are like putting on snooker tables with a coating of black ice on top of them :eek:

Good drainage is the most important factor in keeping grass in good condition. I think we still get Souters to top dress it every summer, probably after a good coring. Ooooh missus etc. Spreading ****e will only smother the new growth, and inhibit nitrogen uptake.
Of course, reliance on undersoil heating apparently ****s the root system, and encourages grassroot-loving bugs to survive the killer frosts and feed on the bits that Mckenna hisna compacted flat with his size 18 tackets.
I think the sunlight simulation lighting rigs they shine ower the goalmouths help maintain a decent surface in the six yard box, but are terrible for the environment.
Real fitba didnae need undersoil heating

Indeed Sneckers, in a nutshell when I played(tried to!),however, to be fair, the consumer pays a lot of money nowadays to cheer on their cub and at least deserve to see their team play on a decent surface.Quote:

Stupid transfer money means insurance risks, and there's your main problem.
The " consumer " would rather watch 22 blokes kicking f'uck out of each other in the mud.
Pity we didn’t use our fantastic playing surface at Pittodrie for free flowing attacking football...we probably would be more suited to the above pitch as we generally lump the ball anyway. A good footballing side we are not. I blame the manager as he wants us to play the boring turgid way that we have this season.Quote:
