Not a billiard table
It's certainly cutting up a bit. I was at the game, but I don't recall the weather conditions. There is no sand down and it looks very green. Billiard table is a figure of speech and not to be taken literally. As I said, in 1975, it was in startlingly good condition, compared to every other team featured, including Ipswich, who had been on the week before.
and comparing to now is unfair as the pitches then were proper grass on genuine earth as compared to a strange mix now of earth, sand grass and plastic
