The problem with the long grass is that you can only see two of the three tiers on the Long Side. :?

We only signed Crouch so we had at least one player who could see where he was going.

Golf's "Stimpmeter" could easily be modified to give an objective, accurate reading of the speed a ball rolls on it.

I think Arsenal should rebrand themselves as Fukawi United when they roll up to the Turf next season.
When they get lost in the long grass, they can jump up and down shouting, "We're the Fukawi !"

Didn’t realise such equipment existed with this name although it would seem company liquidated! Mind you our ground staff do a great job worthy of press attention.
