Initial batch sold out and they've got whacked the price up £3 per coaster on the pre-order for the next lot. Originally a tenner now 13 squid, cheeky buggers, for laminated grass clippings!

I wonder if you can buy one with bits of Kev Stewart’s Weetabix ankles on it??

Can we get into a ship of Theseus style debate as well? Are compressed grass clippings owning a piece of Bloomfield Road?

Doesn't sit right with me, you have merely trimmed the grass, the grass root is still there connected to the soil that makes up the pitch - both parts can't be Bloomfield Road simultaneously once separated, the root and soil are Bloomfield Road.

Someone put on here once they took a square of Bloomfield Road home after a pitch invasion with a spatula. That's a piece of Bloomers!

All that being said I think it's a funny little piece of merchandise, I'll probably get one.
