Quote: vikingsmurf "forgive me, [ibut who needs to ask that particular question at all[/i, never mind several times. Even My mum knows that artifical pitches have moved on from the old plastic on a sand base type.
its bloody obvious it wont be one of those, or the RFL would never have approved it in the first place.
asking A question is one thing, attempts at sensationalism are another entirely.
those would have to be some serious drugs for me to endure a full episode of BnA or a televised match listening to hemmings.
Its the first question anyone asks about Leigh East's ground--and a pretty obvious one IMO. Think we will have to agree to disagree icon_lol.gif

Quote: Cibaman "The soccer pitches are not really mixes of plastic and grass in the way that some people think, they dont have blades of grass mixed in with blades of plastic. They just put down a plastic mesh so that the grass grows through the gaps. The plastic just improves the binding. The Widnes pitch sounds completely different.'"



Yes they do , the Keepmoat , Wembley and the LSV have pitches that are primarily grass with individual plastic blades stiched into them at set intervals , I watched the machine doing it

It doesn't really matter what the top layer is whether it be synthetic,grass or any combination of the two - the secret is in the drainage and the substrata
You can hav the most expensive Astroturf on the market but if the substrata isn't done correctly then you will end with a dogs dinner like the Millenium Stadium playing surface.

That nearly worked as a joke Luke icon_biggrin.gif

Did I miss someone making the hugely predictable 'artificial pitch for an artificial SL club' jibe?

Jealousy get's you nowhere.

You'd be better off concentrating on Leigh and their next three years rather than Widnes.
