    The club will make a mint from it, though.

    A polo playing field is 300x160 yards. Will two of the stands be demolished to make room?

    If Allam thinks it's good then yes (even though it isnt his stadium). Look at his CV, it'll comfort you.

    He'll probably change the name of the sport to "Horsey-Neigh-Neigh-Watch-Mallet-Rich-Man-While-The-Argie-Professional-Pounds-Your-Wife-Ball".

    Apparently, Arena Polo is played on a smaller pitch, with only three competitors on each team and uses a ball like a football, rather than the hard balls they use for Field Polo. It lasts two hours, so there's plenty of time to drink champagne and eat strawberry's. <ok>

    No, I have a few horses and they **** it up big time, I guess they must be re-laying it afterwards.

    They must be relaying it otherwise the pitch will get churned up like a mincer
    It'll resemble a bad sunday League pitch by't end

    Can't be, or the Stadium of Light would have the best turf in the world.

    When do the fake rugby team play on the pitch?

    Horses will demolish it. May as well have an evil ken evil show on there and all, and a motocross competition.
