    Subject: Are women really like football grounds?


    1. There is a vast difference in grounds with regards to length and
    width, thus varying the quality of the play.

    2. Pitches vary from the well-grassed to the completely bald.

    3. Remember it is possible to score at both ends.

    4. Tackling from behind is not always an offence - check with
    ground-owner.

    5. Be careful, as after a few pints a ground appears to be of
    Premiership standard but in reality would not even be eligible as a council
    dumping ground.

    6. Only some grounds offer five-a-side facilities.

    7. Don't ever make public your desires to play at Wembley, also never
    mention pitches previously visited.

    8. Extra time is dependent on subsequent pitch bookings.

    9. If the ground does not seem to have under-soil heating suggest
    calling the game off, possibly even contact the coroner.

    10. When building a team it is always nice to finish with Seaman at the
    back.

    11. Wet pitches allow for long sliding tackles.

    12. Always ask before leaving the pitch and entering the tunnel.
    Conversely, DO NOT expect to be allowed to come straight from the tunnel to
    the goalmouth and score. That can leave an awful taste in the mouth of the
    pitch owner and may prevent further use of the ground.

    13. Personal morals may be compromised by local derby's.

    14. From time-to-time the goal may be obstructed by a highly absorbent
    goalie.

    15. Russian grounds are frequently more grassy.

    16. French grounds are frequently very nice to look at, however there
    can sometimes be an awful smell from the terraces, which don't get hosed down
    as often as they should.

    17. Very few grounds are found with executive boxes.

    18. Be wary of grounds with room for team buses.

    19. Always be on the look out for grounds that host ladies football two
    evenings a week.

    20. Pitches with a waterlogged end, can be out of bounds for up to 5
    days a month, although this can be longer if you p*ss the owner off by
    continually asking to play up the good end instead.


    21. Players will have to agree personal terms with the club, before
    being allowed to play on the turf.

    22. Always look for a ground that has never been played on before (or
    at
    least hasn't had many visits). That said, well used grounds may have better
    atmosphere.
