I never been on a football pitch of that quality either. It looks almost unreal!
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).
