Re: Sutton Uniteds promotion push - pitch update
If Sutton United achieve promotion rest assured they will sort their pitch to the satisfaction of the EFL. If that means ripping up their artificial pitch and replacing with grass - that will happen - BUT who are the losers ?
Artificial pitches have come a long way since the QPR and Luton Town days of the 1980's. The purists will still hanker for good old traditional grass and in a perfect world that's what we would have. But at National League level where finances are tight, then we need a massive shake up and that could be extended to the lower leagues. Artificial pitches, it could be argued are a cohesive factor for drawing the club and community ties together - imagine the revenue we could bring in all year around ? Playing numerous matches every night of the week if necessary and not just football. I might get slated for this but I feel we are just 'treading water'. We need more money coming in - where will we be in 10 years time ? still complaining that the kop should have been redeveloped whilst the rest of the stadium is decaying ? I feel sorry for Sutton - they have prospered using their current playing surface but will lose so much if they are forced to revert to grass based on their 'possible' success. The EFL need to change their rules urgently - small clubs wont survive and should be supported in their efforts to maximise their revenue streams not hindered and obstructed. I have visited Hi Tech Turf on the Deeside Industrial Park who produce some fantastic products or should we continue with mud baths, divots and numerous postponements every winter ? The world is moving on at a fast pace but I fear we are stagnating - we can't go on forever selling donated Village Bakery mince pies every Christmas and expecting miracles. (No disrespect to the generous donation by VB - but you know what I mean). |

Re: Sutton Uniteds promotion push - pitch update
The sort of head in sand approach that means nothing changes. I don't think we need these pitches but those that do should be left alone rather than set back by flat earthers repeating "football should be played on grass" or "rules are rules" to themselves.

So why should we feel sorry for Sutton? |

Re: Sutton Uniteds promotion push - pitch update
Does not change the fact that they were there at the start of the season.
I think there should not be any draw's and there should be golden goals followed by penalties and then we might be top. Fact is its 1 point for a draw so I have to get on with it. |

Re: Sutton Uniteds promotion push - pitch update
That's not a rule change which is a no brainer. Allowing pitches that are of a higher standard than some already present in the League is a no brainer.
