New Drains

Just back from a quick visit to the theatre of dreams to buy some merchandise. Pitch looks immaculate. As for the player situation, to quote Lew: "If you've brought your boots, we'll give you a trial."

By the way, Lew, thanks for giving the family a guided tour of the stadium, complete with annecdotes. They now know where the old man disappears to every fortnight during the season!

I don't see the point of doing all that work to have a load of Premier League Hoofers dancing on it for the sake of a pre season friendly. Save the pitch for the League games.

Well it looks like you all have your wishes, the friendly against the kentucky fried chicken team has now been switched to Morecambe!!!

It looked green enough last night when I saw it from a few thousand feet up. It's not often that you can see the Crown Ground, Gigg Lane and Rammy United's pitches all at once!

Three things:

1) The picture is about a week old - due to the fact that it has poured down the last few times I've been at the club I've not been able to get one of any standard that's up to date!

2) The pic isn't cropped on the front page to deceive anyone - if the full size one goes on there the website loads at a snail's pace.

3) There is still a month until that Carling Cup game against Scunthorpe - at the same stage last summer you would have been hard pressed to see any grass at all!

Keep your eye on the website and I'll try and update once a week between now and then...

It looks like they have put the 'spoon' back into the surface!

[Wynonie Harris]

Another non-story...or will we be visiting the Turf to play Scunny like we did in '93?

The one in Burnley or the one in Accrington ?

Think only one person knew about the rumour, certainly nothing passed through our gossip shop and there has been nothing on the Burnley sites. Guess it was a pathetic attempt at having a reason to ring Rob up to see if any other info could be obtained

[John_Timmins]

And people on here slate the ultras for giving the club a bad rep! This plonker gets paid for it!!!!! I say smoke him out of the LET offices!!!!
