Normal grass would wither with fear as soon as it was tread by o'connors Titans

only 'Future Grass' can handle the mighty Vikings

Can someone tell me what the 'intelligent' in i-grass means? What does the grass do intelligently?

It should not be a problem for any of the N West teams as they have all trained on this pitch at Leigh East

They are very good , but still not quite real grass

It plays your MP3's for you.

If you plug an i-phone into it, it downloads pictures to your C drive automtically.

It cleans itself after st heleners have been on it!

Seems like a good idea to me.

They will be able to use it 7 days a week and they will be able to play academy/youth games on it without the fear of ruining the pitch.

Also won't need moving or too much hard work once it's up and running.

Won't there a problem for Widnes in that the super duper "dry weather" teams (we know who they are) will have a field day against the Vikings when other teams will, as happens, bring them down to there level on the wet boggy pitches of the early season?

Will it mean the Stobart is no longer used for football , as the markings on these pitches are permanent , are they not ?

I'm sure one of the things the council guy they interviewed said was that you could change the sport that was played from week to week so it meant it could be used far more extensively by the community.

I might be wrong , but I did think they were permanent markings

It depends on which paint they use. (crown or dulex)
