| With Barnet's first team playing at The Hive and a Woman's side being formed to play there, that cannot leave much space in the calendar for any other sport and with two teams playing Football there, would you want a third side playing on the same pitch? I certainly wouldn't if I were involved with Barnet but I suppose that would be outweighed by a new source of income.

Or perhaps a pitch like Widnes have, and it can be used all year no problem!

| Dont we play in the summer?
3 teams on one pitch is no big deal if its managed correctly. There are no big stands to prevent the sun getting at the grass.

Artificial pitches aren't allowed at any level of football from Conference North/South upwards.

Yes correct at present, but at the end of May this year " 3G4US" was formed by 50 lower league clubs from The Premiership to campaign for the use of 3G pitches due to the loss of games last season. Interesting to see Cardiff Blues are looking at 4G as well for Cardiff Arms Park to follow the success of Saracens at Allianz Park.

| Three teams at the City of Salford Stadium. Salford, Sale and Man Utd under 21s and academy.
Leyther_Matt didn't Leigh, Swinton and Blackburn under 21s all play at the Sports Village last season.

So you want a penniless non-league football club to spend out a minimum of 40k so your club can play there? I can't see it making any good business sense to do that.
I believe that Women's Football takes place in the Summer so Barnet's ladies would be playing throughout the summer and with Barnet back on it in August and playing through winter, I can't see how it would be good for Barnet, as they're the main priority here, to rent their ground out to a third club.
However, Barnet aren't an orthodox club. They currently have a manager in charge that has made himself captain, given himself the number one shirt, doesn't bother going to northern away games and regularly flies out of the country with no notice, it wouldn't surprise me to see the Broncos there.
The Salford stadium doesn't have regular Man United U21 games and neither does Leigh's.

One of the clubs campaigning hard for artificial pitches is Maidstone, aren't they in the Isthmian League? for some clubs it is being able to play mostly when fixtures are planned, rather than a midweek rearrangement! It allows all the club's lower team games to be played there as well, but as I said 50 lower league clubs want these pitches.

Referees are like women, they make snap decisions and never reverse them.
[b]Littlerich wrote[/b] Widnes will be glad to get away from Leigh. They've been regularly pumped, roasted and left in the alley-way by the lobbygobblers. Talk about being bitched - what a torrid time they've had. They'll be looking for some A&E rest time for the next three years at least.:simpsons/PDT13.gif |

Yes they did, and will do next year as well I think.

The FA won't allow these, the 50 teams you believe want them (as a Football fan of a lower league team, I have heard nothing about what you say) have no power unless the FA change their mind but I have seen nothing to suggest they will.
I know they're allowed in Scotland but that hasn't stopped games being postponed as ice freezes on these surfaces in big, thick sheets making it unsafe to play on.

| The main reason smaller clubs want these pitches is that they can rent them out left, right and centre unlike a traditional pitch. Not only do you get pitch hire fees but your bar take goes up. Having watched a game at Maidstone I have no real objection to them in terms of quality.
I expect the FA will back down at some point, not just yet though. They are a game changer for lower level sports teams if run properly.

You say Moe you have never heard of the campaign, well I have and I support a Premiership team, 50 clubs are a lot to start a campaign, which may grow.
As Halfdan of t'wide embrace states, lower league clubs need to maximise every income flow they can find, use of it regular and bar takings mean a lot when you may struggle. The FA may be wary at first, but I would never say they won't allow it.
