Is there really? The one Widnes are getting is a £600,000 monster. I can't imagine Saints spending that on a pitch for a training ground? |

Yup. Ours is 3g, Widnes' is going to be an iPitch.
Can someone explain where the 'i' comes from. Intelligent? In what way is the pitch intelligent?

It's possible they will be retrained into maintaining the iPitch? From what I've read it needs regular maintenance. |

You are just searching for negatives now. You have no idea about the groundsman or what's going on down there. |
