Irrigation sprinklers are controlled by hand-held remote radio


and mushy peas, which was devoured in the mess room ahead of the next task. It was now 1.45pm and time to get back


out onto the pitch to keep an eye on the warm-up routines and be around for any last minute requirements. At this time, Paul would also decide whether to water the pitch; usually, at this time of the year, it is only applied to wet the surface to aid playability. Using his hand-held remote radio, Paul is able to activate the sprinklers individually,


with each one timed for about two minutes and, with up to four on at a time, it doesn’t take long to cover the majority of the pitch. As soon as the warm-ups were completed, the portable goals were taken away and a final divot repair was carried out. Most of the pitch repairs had been


completed by the time the players came out onto the pitch. We made our way to our designated seating in the away end of the ground - being sat amongst the West Ham supporters was quite an experience!


‘Big Sam’ Allardyce in the dug out Like many Premier League games this


season, it was end to end entertainment with the match being played at a terrific pace. Burnley set themselves up well and were playing the better football, creating a good number of chances - hitting the post and having one goal disallowed. By half time, they should have been three goals to the good.


During half-time, we went back out on the


pitch to knock back any scars and divots whilst Paul watered the pitch.
