[Albion] Our slippery pitch why?

When we all invaded the pitch last year, I was thinking at the time how lush and dense our grass was, and in hindsight, it did look a bit slippy...

It's bat piss innit. Should never have built at Falmer [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION]

Except that despite conducting a study, they never actually found any.

Ahhh, happy days. Well no actually, they weren't.

They're already disgruntled they drew with us. They'd find even more to blame if we'd won.

It would be difficult but I could live with that. :)

If they are slipping over it is because their studs are too short!

Do modern pitches even take a stud these days, or are they rock hard enough that it's like playing the first game of the season when your new boots simply don't sink in at all?

I glanced at their match thread yesterday and it was chock full of complaints about the dreadful state of the pitch, presumably whenever another attack broke down with a misplaced pass into the East stand. It did make me wonder what they would have made of the early days at Withdean and the half time tweaks to the swampy hole near the South Stand made by a long haired bloke with a spear.

Sometimes the views of other Premier League fans have me feeling like we're a Victorian peasant girl who escaped starvation by marrying a lord and is now listening to people at Sandringham complain about the range of hors d'ouvres.

LOL, yeah the spear bloke was excellent. Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh YEAH!

Modern footballers walking off a billiard table of a pitch, and yet complaining about it is utter tosh. When we marvel at South American superstars we see old footage of them learning their trade with a tennis ball on a sandy beach ..... fast forward to the professional game, and suddenly nothing is good enough. Someone has a bad game and it's the pitch, or maybe the ball is too round. Do footballers ever take a step back and see how stupid they make themselves look?

Recall us playing somewhere earlier this season (Watford?) where they watered HALF the pitch at half-time.

Proper studs are what is needed, not those poxy blades.

And black boots!!

Brown leather boots that cover you ankles and that you have to use dubbin on......

.........that's possibly totally incomprehensible to some on here.

You mean there was a Spurs supporter allocated to count the number of slips just in case they wanted to discuss it on their forum later ?

Yes, yes that's exactly what I meant. Excellent diagnosis. An if you have any drugs handy, may I have some? :kiss:

I thought the slippery pitch was a brilliant plan.

Watching those multi-million pound players falling flat on their arses was a highlight of my evening...

Cries of " whoopsy daisy" Always raise a smile.
