Bird Poo

[Marked Ox]

I'm tempted to bill the stadium company for the 55p bottle of water I had to purchase to clean the bird poo off my seat which has been there since before the Peterborough game.

It wasn't lucky Vs Scunny . It was all over the seat which made sitting down impossible. Have Pterodactyls been seen recently over the Oxon skies?

Childish I know, but I did snigger at the thread title and OP handle. It is, of course, another example of landlord apathy ... or worse.

 

[MC Yellow]

Certainly a lot of s**t about at the minute.

His stadium company does not appear to give a s**t about us fans

He leaves that to the avians in the stadium ....who evidently, collectively give lots of shits

....how did that old LR chant go...'If I had the wings of a sparrow, if I had the a**e of a crow, Id fly over Sw*nd*n tomorrow, and s**t on the bastards below' ...or something similar?

Has our landlord been training avians in and around the breeze block I wonder?

You only paid 55p for a bottle of water, bargain

Well run football clubs employ someone to fly a hawk around the stadium to scare the pigeons away. I can imagine FK's face if he were to be presented with an invoice for that!

Anyone know why the pitch looked like it had measles?

 

[Cass63]

KR wants the grass longer, and the pitch bigger for next season so it’s longer than it was and it shows.

 

[Marked Ox]

Just like to say I fully expect the fossilised Bird Poo on the metal on my seat and on one of handrails in East Stand to still be there next season. I'm sure there is plenty more fossilised Bird Poo elsewhere across the ground.

 

[sideshowrob]

FK knows that there is good money to be made from selling fossilised bird poo (aka guano) so I expect it will be bagged up when there is enough to sell to farmers.

why? I dont understand.

 

[Cass63]

What? Why he wants it longer, rad ox said after saturdays game it’s cut at 53mm but KR wants it at 56mm, I think they said he wants the pitch wider as well. Suits the style he wants to play I suppose.
I read a book by terry venables who said he got his groundsman to leave the grass longer at each end of the pitch to slow the ball up.

 

[Marked Ox]

why? I dont understand.

The longer grass means more water can go on so the pitch is slicker so play can be faster, if I remember KR's explanation correctly.

Didn’t MApp want the pitch narrower because of the goals we were conceding?

Vaguely remember that, also think Pep thought the grass was greener on the other side.

 

[Gary Baldi]

MAPP shortened the pitch to stop teams getting behind us and make it easier to get at them when they have the ball.
