“Gwyn doesn’t need to check his pass. Michael, white-haired, bespectacled, has been working as a volunteer with the ground staff here for years. And every match day he does this, walking in on his own at 6 a.m.Gwyn follows Michael on the CCTV monitor as he makes his way past the players’ entrance and round a corner towards the service areas. Michael is the only person on Gwyn’s quartered screen, his small body marooned in an expanse of angled, unpainted concrete, as if he’s walking through an ar...chitecture built for a species more gigantic than human. Following the coach-wide passageway, two storeys high, Michael passes through the groundsman’s storage supplies. Piles of fertiliser and nutrients, Kioti tractors, frames for the growing lights, spools of orange rope all crowd and gather at the walls. Three racing-green Dennis pedestrian cylinder mowers are parked in a row, clumps of grass like chewed cud collected in their barrels. Everything around Michael is on a massive scale, like the sound stage of a film studio stacked with the sets of an epic.MoreLessRead More Read Less
