Unsung heroes - The Groundstaff

Post by Grumpy of Crumbie »

Amidst the euphoria of yesterday I wanted to give a shout out to a team of people who probably don’t get the recognition they deserve and that’s the ground staff at Welford Road. Seeing the pitch at last weeks semi final it must be the best in the premiership and the best advert ever for not going plastic.

With the technology and the quality team managing it, wouldn’t most players and supporters rather have a game played on a surface like Welford Road?
If you don't go in hard it's not a tackle it's an insult.

Agreed. And if they are free, I've got a seriously dodgy lawn...

Ah "The green, green grass of Home!" Welford Road our home! Yes it is a delightful sight if you compare to the turnip patch in front of the Crumbie a few years ago. Well done Ed and his fellow Mowers. :smt023
