    no wonder we are skint! 



    "It was crazy. They have twelve grass pitches, which stand straight and are constantly nurtured and cared for by eight full-time gardeners. The clubhouse is also really nice, and in general the situation is amazing.

    does explain the lawnmowers though as OGV posted but 12 pitches between 7 men and probably 1 token spastic is probably right

    So why not show that Everton are a top club ? No one with billions in the bank are going to invest in a load of rubbish. :) :)
