Morning prep for @WinFinchleyFC vs @ETFCOfficial - pitch holding up to the elements so far this year

@WalkerGroundsT1 @karl_standley @wembleystadium

What a great evening with @karl_standley⁩ and his team ⁦#UnderTheArch ⁦@wembleystadium

@turfcareblog @tingers_123 @FA Against a referee who despite overwhelming evidence chose to play a match. They have the ability to report the clubs for poor actions- why isn't there accountability the other way?

@turfcareblog @tingers_123 @FA His criteria for a failed pitch inspection, but despite the pitch failing his criteria he still played the match. Truth be told there will always be referees like this- surely the leagues or the fa should have a process such that clubs can atleast lodge a complaint against...

Change of protocol needed @FA Referees shouldn’t make the call, Groundsmen should. You wouldn’t have asked a baker to build Wembley! Grassroots football is a top priority of yours but you’re ignoring the main issues

@turfcareblog @tingers_123 @FA It will be down to league rules, each league will have a call off procedure to be followed

@tingers_123 @FA What does the rules say ref has final say ? Like to see in writing if anyone knows where to find l couldn’t

STOLEN FROM FINCHLEY, LONDON An integral part of my business, my bateson pt56 trailer was stolen last night. Had two covered pallets of G.O.S.T.D. tennis loam strapped down that have been taken with it too. Any help and or information would be appreciated!

Just how perfect a song is November Rain? Possibly one of my top 5 songs of all time
