Apologies in advance but this pitch business is really bugging me

[scam]

It seemed to me that it made the old place look more modern. The seating looked closer to the pitch cos the walls around the running track appear lower, from pitch side.

Drove past Goodison earlier mate and I think you've made a valid point to be fair, they've gone a little bit over the top in my opinion. Took a photo as I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing.

Aki's been seen hanging around the ground trying to feel up our grass

I was at Betis, and I'm there on Saturday.

It just looked normal to me.

But are some of the posters normal ? Just a thought like.

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!

FFS Bill where's the Lawnmower money gone...****en other operating costs, tight [Poor language removed] is not even cutting the grass anymore....Cretin

Bungle I can tell for a fact that picture is a fake due to the wrong badge being on the stadium

The officials on Saturday have been advised to wear climbing boots...

Everton's ground staff leave the pitch after laying the new turf.
