'Heavy Mob' required urgently at Brimdsown tonight

[DerekR]

A whole heap of topsoil has been delivered to Brimsdown. This must be spread across the pitch before the reseeding later this week, so a working party, with as many rakes and barrows as possible, are required to report for duty at Brimsdown from 6.30 tonight. Sorry for the short notice, but this is a time-critical effort.

Should have a smiley face rather than a sad face because we will enjoy moving the tons of top soil. Think of the calories you will burn up!

[Southport - TOWNER]

well trapped in MK tonight, If I'm good I'll be allowed home tomorrow, if you don't shift it all let me know, and junior will come down and talk it into place!

 

 

[Southport Jr.]

at least i turn up!!

 

who else would have bothered to make you all plastic cups of water and jaffa cakes?!

 

will you be doing it tommorrow night? or day; i'm willing to miss school for this?

[Southport - TOWNER]

o no your not!!!

 

unjoy skool!

[Beer Sponsor]

The enthusiasm for raking, over shovelling and barrowing, was a joy to behold. Clearly a preference for wearing the (comparative)youngsters out first!

 

Still, all done before dark.

 

3 hours to move the stuff, but how many days to recover?

[andyetfc]

Further to the beer sponsor's note. We believe there was about 16 tons of the stuff on the pitch in approximately 8 mounds. By the end of the night most of the worst holes had been filled and the low level goalmouths/penalty areas had been reinstated.

 

Watch this psace for further developments and hope we get some rain this week.

 

Anbody got any contacts with the local fire brigade who can practice spraying the pitch with water?

 

 

[The Invisible Man]

Why do you want to reinstate low level goalmouths and penalty areas?

[Gonzo]

Perhaps he didn't want to but just felt he should.

 

Where did this 16-18 tons of top soil come from? (Did someone sneak round TL's garden while he's in Cyprus?)

 

[Southport - TOWNER]

The soil came from an underground movement closely associated with grassroots football....

 

 

[MbrunoB]

not the Wombles?

[Southport - TOWNER]

It's also possible there is a mole in the Ryman League!

Trust a sod like you to soil this thread!

[theabbeyabbott]

Clever though, I liked it!!!!

[Bill Poster]

Hopefully now this thread has ground to a finish or is someone going to rake it all up again!!!!

[Mr Happy]

Shove(l) off!

Don't soil yourself over this, but according to the latest press release by B & Q, it is said that sharing a wheelbarrow makes for a long-lasting relationship.

 

D'ya dig it? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Jim Cunneen]

Well, I for one have always been down to earth, and called a spade a spade....

[theabbeyabbott]

It's a growth industry.

[andyetfc]

By 9.00pm we 'ground' to a halt as the 'earth was moving' for Frank and we thought we should quit whilst the 'going was good'(to firm).

 

We certainly did not make a 'mountain out of a molehill' when pulling muscles we never knew we had. What we did do was a lot of thinking about ETFC games over the last three years and we did this by 'raking up the past'.

 

The worst part about the evening was that we missed two episodes of Corrie!
