On average for 90 minutes a fortnight it gets some stick and then about a dozen staff preen the thing like it's made of silk until the next usage. Meanwhile over the road at Trent Bridge, almost consant useage, the condition of the pitch can have direct consequences on the results of games, yet they are happy for youngsters to tread on the hallowed turf between innings (albeit on the outfield) and have a bit of a knock at the ended of T20 games.
Just irritates me. Can't stand Keough so hope he "started it", but suspect some jumped up little Hitler reacted to his childish antics. Time will tell.
F*ck me!!
Just in case you didn’t know pal, football and cricket are entirely different sports where both surfaces are prepped, maintained and looked after in entirely different ways.
But I suppose you’re one of these who thinks ground staff just mow grass and paint white lines on pitches and do absolute sod all between games.
Forest have one of the top stadium pitches and training pitchers in the country and that’s certainly no fluke.
