senorsoupe Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Not oldschool Astroturf from the 70's but modern 4G artificial pitches are alright. We sort of need them here to play sports for a full season so we get used to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Imo they'll all be ripped up within the next decade or so when my generation start hobbling about everywhere. My brother's physio was saying that he notices a totally different range of injuries in young sportspeople playing on Astro - mainly hip and knee injuries from the lack of relief in it. My back can't seem to deal with it either. It's fine for training - probably better than grass actually - but it's murder for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymcp Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Should never be near the top league in Scotland. Games are shit too watch with the unreliable bounce for a start. Makes the game look amatauerish. If you can't make your club sunstainable without a plastic pitch in the top flight you probably shouldn't be there.

johnnydun Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I thought the whole point of Astro pitches is that they don't rise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we all know that the bounce of a ball is exactly the same on all grass pitches. Exactly the same. Anyway, PTTGOYN; I hate when folk call these pitches 'astroturf' or 'plastic pitches'.

NaeVay Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I for one am glad this is finally being discussed. It's about time we heard some opinions on artificial pitches. May I suggest a debate on crowd sizes is also well overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
