You may just have a point
But you know how petulant (moody teenager like ) some players can be
Perhaps they can't tie the laces up properly on those clown shoes that seem to be in vogue at the moment😉
Personally I would put it down to poor choice of footwear by the players concerned
Don't recall many of the opposition tumbling quite as frequently as our s did
Is the correct answer Done at the manager/ head coach s request
A juggling act to keep it moist enough to retain the zip but to compensate for evaporation and drainage
Due to varying weather conditions on match days More or less water would be sprayed on the pitch
Due to the make up of the pitch /surface /sub structure I don't believe it works in quite the way you imagine it to.
Withdean now that' was a different matter But just to be sure I will ask a man who knows for certain
And return with a fuller explanation later on
