Plenty of helpful tips in that link. If you have a dishwasher, try d/w powder or liquid. Put directly onto the stain and soak in very warm water. It gets all the cricket whites clean and grass is a bugger to get out. If not, plain household soap dipped in hot water and rub the area which is stained.
Not good for delicates though.

Dye it the same colour as the stain

That's how I saw the stain was still there because it was inside out when I was hanging it on the line. Make a note to yourself to do that with your tops when you get here bacause the sun fades everything.
