The Wembley Pitch

We get rather blase at Ipswich, as our pitch is often voted one of the best in the country.

I would have thought that the pitch at Newcastle would not be of a good standard, as the pitch is surrounded by high stands and Newcastle weather is not as good as that in London or Ipswich.

The Pitch at St. James' Park

This picture was taken around four o’oclock and you can see that it is mainly in shadow.  Surely, this isn’t good for grass!

Now I didn’t even walk on the pitch, but from my lofty place in the sky, it looked to be in good condition and the players didn’t seem to slip at all.

So if they can get it right in the more difficult circumstances at Newcastle, why can’t they get it right at Wembley?
