It is UK weather man, you can't get pitch like that anywhere else. I was in Newcastle, the one from which the club is from, a couple of years ago. From my hotel to the stadium there was maybe 1 km walk and in that one km there was so many flat green spaces that you could build 10 more perfect pitches just by making the lines and putting up goals.
I was there for a week, and i have not seen sun in the whole week, there was also no rain, but roads were wet all the time. It is just slow drizzle I guess and you don't even realize it is raining, perfect for grass.
You sound like you have really traveled a lot and seen a LOT of football
You are very lucky. For us, I've never seen good pitches in my life to be honest. I remember even for high level games you can sometimes see good fields but when you come closer you realize it is not so,,, with weeds and holes in the ground.
I agree the weather must be the whole reason back home,,, even golf courses are criticized in newspapers because apparently they suck up a lot of water (again I guess if light rain constantly then good for the grass).
Arsenal supposedly have among the best pitches but also so do Spurs (as we have the newest stadium).
Well I do not go out and watch games neither, I have been to just one game in my entire life and few practices, but I have watched countless games. I watched it early one, when I was much younger, 10-15 years ago as a teenager in high school and it just wasn't the same. I get that some people like the feeling of it, the atmosphere and all that but the reality is that you can't really watch the game.
Watching from TV is so much more comfortable, get a couple of beers, some chips, and just lay down on your couch and watch it, it is so much more comfortable. I mean I get that some people like it that way but the reality is that you can't view the pitch all that well when you are there whereas you could literally see the foot movement of players on TV. And on top of that, I have seen much better pitches on TV, because you get to see thousand of different ones, even the same stadiums could have theirs changed eventually.
