I was gutted I couldn't get a ticket for the Bradford game (I went to the last game), but that was dreary.
In all fairness they can't help the pitch, the ground is on a hillside with a cold wind blowing down the valley, the pitch is exposed to the elements and erodes badly. You could lay fresh Wembley turf and employ Southampton's groundsman to maintain it but it'll still end up like that after a harsh winter.
