Pitch Marked out

i think they should move the webcam

Wot - no penalty spots.
Perhaps it's the ultimate answer to our penalty problems - we just won't have any at the Amex.

Is the pitch going to go all the way to the very edge of the grass then? A winger flying down the line, will have one foot on the grass and one on the astroturf-like stuff that runs down both sides?

That looks a little bit peculiar to me.

Maybe they use a different sort of grass where the linos run

 

[brightonmark1234]

i think its 3g turf like what they have got at waterhall

Spain U21 are currently playing on a pitch in which the outline is immediately on the line where the grass meets the 'fake' turf. So it does happen.

. . . I'm pretty sure EVERYBODY has to have a hi-viz jacket on for those tours . . .

Maybe they don't, seeing as it's no longer officially a building site

How do they paint perfect circles? Just wondering, like.

Good question.

Somebody fetch NSC's resident Groundskeeper Willie [MENTION=3634]Marc[/MENTION]

I wondered this when on a visit to the Emirates, they simple use string pulled tight!!

[brightn'ove]

The buy them ready painted from B&Q, lay them out and stick it with 'No nails'

They buy pitch size stencils
.

 

[NMH]

They hire those aliens that do crop circles, because they are cheaper than a landscape designer - who projects a laser writing line-maker and uses paint-guns with injection-tech computer-guided mechanisms. They are accurate too, but well expensive.

Aliens, they're the way forward

I did wonder that, as an astroturf down the side of teh pitch would prevent the mud tracks they churn up in the grass, but it just looks a bit peculiar to me the way the line runs along the very edge of the grass.

Maybe that's just teh "modern way" and I've not noticed it before.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

what are those things dotted around the edge?
