Bit more news on the goings on at ER. We have been ordered by the PL to put down AstroTurf on the steps that away teams use to get to the pitch from the temporary dressing room.

For the pitch, A 300k investment has been made on a hybrid turf system called 'HTPro', a hybrid carpet reinforced turf system, produced as a partnership between Tillers Turf and Hewitt Sportsturf, who say the surface is an 'extreme high quality cultivated carpet-based turf, nursery grown on specially prepared nursery field plots designed to provide the best growing conditions. '

Blimey Alf, do you have shares in Tillers turf?

Or are you now rivalling or ER-Bard (Bermo) for the verbosity of your postings?

Either way I have called my stockbroker to buy up all the remaining shares in that company (investments can go down as well as up) .

In my humble opinion this might just be the best investment we will make in January!
I know people will say it’s the same for both sides but I really think the pitch has had massive drain on our confidence in recent weeks!
In the Brighton game so many passes either over hit or behind the player! Bamford said the players were moaning after the game and these things soon start to affect confidence!
Hopefully get a decent surface down and let’s start pinging it around again!

They’ve missed an opportunity here not selling off the old one, imagine turfing a patch of your garden with some of that hallowed turf.

Yes please

And in my case, with my touch of a donkey (apologies to any donkeys reading) the state of it won't affect my passing game one bit.

Don’t think it was good enough to roll up, class
New one was being grown for Spurs for future use!
Someone on Twitter asked if it comes with bus tyre tracks around the penalty area 😂.

Was it pitch or walk to pitch?

I copied and pasted it from elsewhere!

I totally agree. The pitch has been causing us major problems which is one reason why we are doing either away from home than at home I think so should make a massive difference. Yes its the same for both teams but some teams don't play it on the deck and so it doesn't make much difference them but makes a huge difference to us and Bielsaball.
