I was told by a fella that used to own a bar in Notts that he had a couple of the workmen building PP come in laughing…. The joke was that they’d buried Florist scarves under the penalty spots 🤷🏽♂️ Along with a coffee cup at the South Stand end of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine it would be an absolute minimum of 6ft under (appropriate!)... but more likely 3 or 4 meters... and anywhere within a 10 metre radius. There'll be a lot o' layers beneath that glorious turf, that only the pitch installers would have got anywhere near, I'd have thought! 🤷♂️ Edited April 13, 2023 by Mucker1884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto Enjoyer Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Don’t know if I’m adding anything of value to the discourse here, but I genuinely hate Pride Park. A cut and paste Stadium™ situated miles away from anything else of cultural or social value, devoid of any character and lacking any real atmosphere (90% of the time). Flatten it and turn it into a car park. Rebuild the BBG! PrideParkhead and Tamworthram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less chance of finding a penalty spot than during that Man City match. Absolute bog and god knows how many chemical preventing barriers.

I do agree that the designer of the stadium seemed to be having a lack of inspiration day when he drew the plans up, pretty formulaic effort.

I’m talking about being in and around communities where people live and socialise, near pubs and other notable landmarks that characterise an area and therefore the football club that belongs within it.

Couple in there and then another 5 minute hike to the Telegraph for another one or two and then on to the Neppy. Cultural and social excellence. After the Neppy on to the Viceroy for a curry and then a small wander back to the hotel. David Graham Brown and Kathcairns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
