Walk On The Football Pitch

[Macljane]

Jumbo a Christmas crossword (Sports). Six letters. S?r???. Could be stride or stroll but why would you do either on the football pitch?

[elliemay1]

strike?

[aelmpvw]

i would go with stride

[Lie-in King]

I think elliemay has it with 'strike' - walk (out)/strike; done on a pitch

[elliemay1]

Yes, I was thinking of a striker

[brainiac]

Might the clue actually be "Walk out on the football pitch"?

[Macljane]

I’m going with this as I think when someone walks, they leave and there are strikes on the pitch. Thank you to all who replied.
