A few seasons ago I was very surprised at the high quality of their playing surface, particularly when you consider they share with the rugby. I watched highlights of their game against Bournemouth last night and the pitch looks like it is from the '70s, really in a poor state!
Cooper can't be happy, he thought our grass was too long for them last season.
He'll find something else to complain about on Saturday, don't you worry about that :hehe:Quote:

After all, you'd never see any sign of a divet at the Nou Camp or Bernabeau.
