THE TENDING OF THE TURF

Whilst at Highbury for the end-of-season Supporter's Club Football tournament in May 2005 .......... (See Arsenal Gloster FC @ Highbury 05 ) a few of the players collected some 'divots' whilst leaving the pitch!!! By divots we mean small pieces of the pitch turfed up during 'normal' play. We promise that none of our players took trowels, although most of them have become keen gardeners since the event. Our chairman, in order to set an example, is seen below tending his Highbury turf on a fine day in August. Impressed??? Jealous more like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although if you think this is good you should see our Vice Chairman Tim's, who is a professional gardener. He will soon be re-turfing his entire lawn!!!! No doubt he will send in the pictures!

Jayl is particularly pleased with his own humble efforts because his grass was pronounced dead earlier in the summer by none other than Tim himself!! He accused Jayl of over-watering and a fall-out nearly ensued! Luckily for the club, on this occasion Tim was wrong and Jayl now has both his cats - Mint Gunner & Ocelot Gunner guarding the turf.
