Spurs and West Ham both do it. £5000. We were only discussing this last week on the way to the Man City game, saying it would be a great idea for a stag do.

If you have not noticed the VP pitch is superb especially after the piss poor weather we have had - take alook at other prem teams this time of year and you will see just how good ours is. In fcat every team that come to VP remark how superb it is.
This is mainly due to the amount of work they do on it.
Not many will know what happens once the game is over and fans have left but they wheel out huge heaters and lamps onto the pitch and sometimes the groundsmen work all night to ensure the pitch is in top shape.

During the close season even more work is carried out so i do not think there would ever be a time when the pitch was free and even if it was too much use and it would really start to suffer

so although a nice idea i cannot see it being practicable or good for the surface

Does the pitch get changed every couple of years?

The ideal time, before laying a new one to make a few bob out of the fans?

I did the football aid at villa park about 6 years ago and actually scored a couple in front of the holte end. unfortunately there was no one in the holte end.

sounds familiar. minus the goals.

every year.

I can't see how letting 30 hairy arsed overweight fatty's play football on the pitch will do it any more damage than a bunch of dancers on a stage with 15,000 over excited split arses jumping up and down. Get it on. I want to be number 9 please. I'll be better than Ireland and I would run more - and i'm 3 stone overweight.
