That's expensive. For the World Cup 2006 all stadia in Germany got new lawn from Holland. Maybe the got a quantity discount. Or British lawn is just more expensive. BTW: is it "lawn" or "pitch"? In German it's "Rasen" which is "lawn" and not "pitch".

The grass is just grass - or even lawn. But when you play football on it, it's a football pitch.

Bear in mind also that everything is expensive in England, and that football pitches do not have a standard size... They can be anywhere from 50x100 yards (45x90m) up to 100x130 yards (90x120m) and anything in between. The pitch at Hillsborough is on the very, very large side at 71 yards wide by 116 yards long (65x106m), with 15 yards more turf on either side (101x146 yards).
 
Patrick Kluivert on his way to Sheffield?

Owls offer striker Kluivert trial

Kluivert has been offered a trial by Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have offered a trial to Dutch international striker Patrick Kluivert.

The 31-year-old plays for PSV Eindhoven but is understood to be looking for a move elsewhere.

Owls boss Brian Laws told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I have a strong contact in Holland who is Kluivert's agent.

"We've invited the boy down and I want to run the rule over him. It is just a possibility and is nothing concrete at the moment but we've made an enquiry."

Kluivert has experience of playing in England after a spell with Newcastle.

He started only 14 Premiership games for the Magpies, scoring six times.

Newcastle rejected the opportunity to take up the option for a second year on his contract leaving him free to join Valencia in the summer of 2005.

He subsequently left the Italian side to link up with PSV the following year.

Kluivert has played for some of Europe's biggest clubs including AC Milan, Ajax and Barcelona.

That is, without a doubt, the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
