TWFL

Think it's to do with the work on the stand. Limits their building time.


RaySmith

Someone said it might to do with the pitch being re-laid.

The Old Count

They didn't want the supporters getting on the player's backs and saying how useless they are before the season starts.

Finnegans Wake

Perhaps Putney bridge being shut may also have been a factor.

Can't think why it should be worn out, I don't remember us playing a lot of football on it last season  064.gif
It could be better but it's real life and not a fantasy

The pitch looks like a smooth chess board with nice big squares mown into it . So why would we want anybody to spoil the look of it? Shame the season has to start at all really. This is by far the best time.

Probably because every home friendly we have had in recent years have been glamour ties against big teams. Maybe nonone wants to play us or we are too focused on function and fitness to bother .

Or in the ownerships eyes, our glamour tie was a warm up gig for Carrie Underwood

Oh thank God I thought it was just me. I thought she was a character from an American tv series.

Whats that got to do with it?

I wasn't saying that no football matches could take place untill its open again. I was saying why put undue congestion and pressure on to an the area when other options are available. Obviously there's nothing we can do about league home matches.

Help please, who or what is Carrie Underwood?

It should be good this season given the crap we left on it last year
Remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
I will be as good as I can be and when I cross the finishing line I will see what it got me
