Apologies in advance but this pitch business is really bugging me

[scam]

Hi all fellow Evertonians,
Just a quickie but I can't clear my mind of what I saw at Goodison when we played Real Betis.
THE PITCH! It all looked so different and it made the whole ground look different but I was the only one who seemed to notice. Others around me thought I was barking. I can't get it out of my mind.
I know we've had pitch improvements and I've seen plenty written about new turf, injected with plastic threads or whatever but that's not my point.
In my opinion the pitch appeared to be up to eighteen inches higher (guesstimate) than last season!
Complete with sloping ramp down to the path for the players to retrieve the ball. And I believe the path is higher too!
I thought the linesman was going to step back and fall off the pitch at one point!
Am I right? Am I wrong? Have they just taken eighteen inches off the top of the wall?
Please someone put me out of my misery cos it matters to me. It looked so crazy different. I don't know who else to ask.
Come on you Blues!

Now, either they need to get their hearing checked or you need to stop barking at football matches.

Laugh if it turns out he sat one row further forward than last season.

Maybe you've been injected with eighteen inches of plastic?

I liked everything about this except for the word guesstimate.

A welcome distraction from the current attempted rape from our ex guv'nor.

...I wasn't sure if I'd had my hair cut or if somebody had lowered my ears.

I think it's bogus mate, a fraud, not true, oh god damn it, if only I could think of a better word to describe it.

I thought that as well mate. I asked my bird to ask her uncle who runs the ticket office and it turns out they had some engineering works done that has lowered that stand by............. you guessed it 18.5 inches.

they just haven't cut the grass, that's all it is mate

If that was the case, it would look normal for him surely.

i reckon one of his mates has been filling his leg bones shorter by 18 inches.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Moyes put the lawnmowers down as "backroom staff" and took them to Old Trafford

Obviously you've never had eighteen inches of plastic injected inside you.

Get the mowers in Bobby ffs!
