They've go very different stances, for example, on B teams. Which one do we copy? Maybe bring in a Super Cup and play it in the middle east? Spanish football allows teams to use artificial turf - and every team in La Liga use them regularly for training ๐๐ป Bears and Colin Traive 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG use a hybrid pitch as it's a better surface than 100% natural grass. Barca do the same and specially laid one at Montjuic as the natural grass surface there was shite and too small. Why don't the PL allow them if a pitch like Livis or Kilmarnock's is just as good for playing attractive football on than Old Trafford for instance? Yes, hybrid pitches, with natural grass can indeed be very good. I think even Ibrox has a hybrid pitch if I remember correctly. You say that this hybrid is a.better surface than natural grass, but as you say, this is an extra expense clubs shouldn't pay out as the players are professional and the surface has no bearing on how well they can play. Why do they bother with this expensive hybrid and not just get the shite Kilmarnock play on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro turfs make financial sense for some teams. And very occasionally in winter, in Scotland, grass pitches can become shit tips that are worse than astro. These are the valid points for them.

Think it depends on the land though, they probably have good natural drainage. Think other clubs could probably maintain their pitch with the same techniques yet it would go to shit just because of the lay of the land. Killie I think don't have the excuse though, their pitch was one of the better ones. They done it purely for the money at the expense of having a surface that's good to play on. scottyscott1963 and dummiesoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single big club in the world just decide to play on grass rather than plastic out of 'club preference' in a massive statistical coincidence. The premier League just ban them for shits and giggles. I'm sold mate, this explanation is perfectly valid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
