Emirates as in Arsenals ground? So, therefore does it include all sports teams that play on grass?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Prestigious award then if that's your profession, didn't realise when he won it in 2008 that it was judged the best pitch in the country, although it is jolly nice grass!
Good luck.

If he wins, can we claim it as a trophy seeing as the Hull fans claim the Fairplay
