Sitting pretty as we are in the JPT, I thought people might be interested in this link that I just came across.

I hope this hasn't been posted here before. I was lucky enough to meet Charlie Miller back in my (long-gone) student days. He was a club stalwart who deserves the occasional mention in those 'best team ever' threads.

My grandad used to tell a story of waiting outside the express & echo offices for a man to appear with the result from sunderland

Not only that - and whisper this quietly - we wore green when we started playing.

Worse still, we pay 150 grand for GREEN grass out of our own pockets.

It makes me feel sick every time I visit The Park. Surely we could genetically modify it to be red.

is there any football league rule that says the playing surface has to be green? Could we not genetically modify it? I wouldn't want astroturf, which can be any colour - but coloured grass? maybe use some kind of waterproof colouring, isn't it the chlorophyll that makes it green.. if we could implant a red chlorophyll into the seed for next season.. then why not? where are the exeweb biologists?

Serious(ish) question..

Love it. Lets get to work on it.

It would certainly get publicity... and could even be sponsored...

Red grass f*cking brilliant publicity stunt! with faint white grass stripes as well not interfering with the markings of course
