Tell you what, these artificial pitches are so lifelike anyone could be taken in by them - also in reverse some grass pitches are immaculate this time of year - enough to make you think it is artificial (one exception of course - Warrington Town which looks like a farmers field after sileage cutting).

Couple of points. A lot of people left it late to sort their tickets out.I personally missed the goal as I was just making my way to my seat. Comment was passed about separating pre booked tickets from on the day purchases which is valid. There's a lack of space but hopefully it's something we can sort in future. We were a bit shocked to see the number of people in the Yale as there were only just over 500 showing on the system meaning the rest paid on the gate. There were quite a lot of seats empty in the Yale town end but those already in the stand wouldn't have seen them. If we were to have large numbers such as this every home game the sensible option would be to make it ticket only as people could be told where the seats are available. It's a problem I hope we have on plenty of occasions in future!

Would you have had so many wanting to go at all if they did not have the convenience and preference of psy at the gate, in the Yale?

I will tell you why I got there late, the beer was flowing and it was like first day back at school bumping into people I hadn't seen since last season. Someone was in my seat but I just found another one then had more beer at halftime.

I went to that game and he wasn't the only person questioning that. The pitch was immaculate and did at first glance look like it could be 3G.
Sat by some of their directors at that game and the groundsman has won awards (he was/is going for a national award any time)

Either way, I thought it was a tad harsh to pick on a disability, my opinion, you're entitled to your own.
