GOAL NETS AND PARALLEL SHADES

I got a few responses over the pitch size blog and the headman at Liverpool FC's training ground, David Roberts, put me right on a couple of points. That's done and dusted so to speak, though he did tell me that the PL has a ruling on "parallel shades" which make reference to the mowing patterns left by some enthusiastic groundsmen who clearly have got too much time on their hands!

Here is the letter of reply:
