The afternoon was really dragging for Walter. His first post had ended with ridicule being heaped on his head and he still had time to kill until the other patients came back from their day out. There was only one thing for it - start another pointless post...

Re: all weather pitch
 

Might be a better idea if the league allowed all weather pitches otherwise you might find every home game being postponed :)

Re: all weather pitch
 

no its not pointless a couple of scottish clubs have started using them they let their youth teams and local community use them .we are trying to attract more of the hynburn public to the fes arent we or are you just sticking your head in the sand the problems of last season havent disappeared :Banane13::Banane13::Banane13::Banane13::Banane13:

Re: all weather pitch
 

I think the most important point of my post might have been glossed over :D

Re: all weather pitch
 

Is there a way of ignoring certain posters on the forum? A kind of ignore list, where you can't see 'contributions' from selected posters?

Re: all weather pitch
 

The curuiosity would get the better of you :D

Re: all weather pitch
 

I don't think so. I know what it did to the cat ;)

Re: all weather pitch
 

How many have you got on your list?

Re: all weather pitch
 

:Banane08::Banane08:i think if you look at league and fifa legislation for a certain product of artificial pitch you can even get a grant if you let the local community to use it.lancs dave how uptodate is your league legislation you can get your grant through england first eufa gave the go-ahead in 2003 for all competitions except champions league final:Banane08:

So far Tin Monkey is the only one not on it. ;)

Re: all weather pitch
 

A meeting at the FA in May decided the following could be played on artifical pitches of FIFA 1 rating next season;

The following FA Committees have now approved the use of such pitches in their respective competitions for season 2007/08:

• FA Trophy
• FA Vase
• FA Youth Cup (qualifying rounds only)
• FA Women’s Premier League and Cup
• FA Sunday Cup
• FA County Youth Cup

The Premier League and FA Cup are still excluded from the list and as long as the FA Cup in particular remains excluded there is no chance of the football league granting permission otherwise their clubs will have to play all cup matches away from home.

There are I believe 3 teams in next season UEFA Cup who will be playing on artificial pitches so there is some movement but I think it will be quite a few years before they are accepted here again on a wide scale. I think I still have the burns from playing a works match at Deepdale about 20 years ago on the Astroturf :D

I bet Hyde are kicking themselves now ;)

Re: all weather pitch
 

Did they have a plastic pitch ?

Re: all weather pitch
 

Oh yes. I remember on one occasion Bernie Hughes heading a ball downwards, inside the six yard box, and it bouncing up and over the crossbar. It was crazy. :rolleyes:

Re: all weather pitch
 

:eek:you could be right what i was saying [if i read it proper are proposals for the league. as always the scottish league are first to use them the english league usually follow suit so it could be a couple of seasons but it would be a good idea...when i went to stenhousemuir you couldnt tell the difference.....

Re: all weather pitch
 

I watched a few games at East End Park when they had the artificial surface and it was terrible. The Gers were poor then but the pitch was awful and was banned so they had to revert to grass. It is a good idea for everyday use but not for professional football.

Does it make any more sense with the punctuation ?

Re: all weather pitch
 

I have a video casette here with the 1991 Manx Cup on. The Deepdale match is comical. It just doesn't look like a proper match.

Re: all weather pitch
 

should have put one at the new wembley couldnt be any worse than the pitch now

Re: all weather pitch
 

it is much needed so we can win the league

Re: all weather pitch
 

I always thought that our hilly pitch was to our advantage as the opposition aren't familiar with the terrain. Our lads don't need ordinance survey info to navigate it! :D
