    Default Condition of the pitch

    If I had one complaint from this weeks game it'd be the condition of the pitch.
    The rolled grass lines are about as straight as Lance Bass and have all the definition of a black and white tube tv from the 60's.
    Not to mention the lines looked like they hadn't been repainted since opening day. Is it too much to ask that MLSE hire someone with experience to look after our beloved grass pitch?

    Just came back from the Benfica game and sat in 227 so the view from above seemed pretty good, I had no pitch negatives other than the game sucked balls.

    If I had one complaint from yesterday it would be the relish in the little portion packets at the hot dog stand! Unacceptable!

    they had to give her a chair this week to keep the hounds off

    I guess in general this is a good news thread.

    If we have to dig this deep to find something to whine about... all must be well in TFC land for a change.

    Pitch looked fine today. The only worn spots are where the subs warm up.....

    There are like 10-12 people from Scott's at every match.

    I blame Mo for the rain, quite frankly. He's obviously returned from holidays in Scotland with rain clouds in tow.

    DeVos mentioned on the CBC broadcast when I went back and watched it, that Preki was unhappy with the condition of the pitch - apparently some parts of the field didn't have grass on them, according to DeVos?

    I thought the grass looked great. I mean, there was some obvious degradation directly in front of the net, but that's to be expected. Everywhere else looked great from my vantage point.

    Huh?

    I've been wondering, though -- who's our head grounds-keeper? I kind of expected the club to wheel him/her out on TFC:TV or something, do a 'Meet the Head Groundskeeper' type thing, but so far they haven't.

    No complaints from the pitch from over here. The divot boys from Scotts was a shock to me at the halftime of the Saturday game, and I thought it was a good way to keep the pitch in top form. I think you have to let the grass settle for more then a year before you can start demanding a perfect pitch. If you've laid grass before you know it takes a bit to root fully and remain tough through the abuse of humans.

    I am thinking that we should have goats to eat the pitch with things on their teeth to make it exactly 12 cenTImeters long. This shall be a good thing. I have small balls on the dashboard hanger in my cab and this is amusing me very much. And the addition of a cricket team and vindaloo chicken vendors would ensure that the goat meat is properly used. Thank you and I am pleased to leave now, thankyou, thankyou....goats...that's great..we are laughing a lot with loudness now...I have the small accordion and would be pleased to sit the supporters section and offer chants and prayer chants for goals...do you have good tea?

    Now reread it with the proper accent, I shall be telling you it's great fun.....I had an old computer it was a waity waity wait...and ran the dos wery well...

    Public use of the pitch was actually mentioned during the Canada match. Forrest was saying it should be off limits to pub teams and should be used for special occasions which I completely agree with.
