| Quote Sacred Cow="Sacred Cow"Personally i'd go for a hybrid pitch which are harder wearing than a fully natural pitch without the harshness of an artificial surface. The initial cost may be slightly more and the general maintainence is more akin to normal pitch but just like synthetic the technology is improving and as it is relatively new much more rapidly. The belief is that the pitches will last longer than artificial before being replaced as obviously the grass regenerates naturally and the extra give in the surface would highly mean less injuries as documented above given we are playing a high contact game, saving money long term on medical costs and insurance. They are also asthetically better on the eye in my opinion making the stadium as a whole look better at the ground and on tv, important factors when trying to sell sponsorship space, conferences, corperate hospitaly, wedding receptions etc. Long term i feel it would be financially beneficial to go this way for a little more outlay upfront, hence the short term comment.'"
The hybrid would IMHO be an option if say we were just sharing with the two football teams. I reckon if used sparingly it could handle that. However this 4G pitch is clearly there to give a genuine 'community' element, probably vital for Council support.
Although I hope every Tom, Dick and Harry doesn't get to play on it, I suspect it will get far more use than a Hybrid pitch could truly stand.
I agree it would possibly be better though that is fairly subjective but I can't see it being practical.

| Quote Fishermanscap="Fishermanscap"I have a theory as to why some Wakey fans are making such a fuss about such an incidental side issue. I don't recall any of the fans of other great clubs such as Hull, Saints and Warrington making such an issue out of it, sad yes but claiming it a mistake! No.
Sad truth is that for the past 40 years the only thing about BV that we could justifiably be proud of was the pitch and the Floodlights. Floodlights are not very emotive, pitches more so. Truth is that after a few games, especially if we play well, everyone will have forgotten that there is a new pitch, it will just be BV.'"
You gave the answer in the first line of your second paragraph.

| At the end of the day as a supporter I don' give a toss whether it's grass or 4G. My opinion is of no consequence, the only opinions that matter are those of the people that have to play on it,

| It’s probably fair to say that it’s nothing to do with who’s playing on it and more to do with who’s paying for it and who’s designing it.
Players I do believe don’t have any input into the infrastructure of the club.
All we can do is discuss our preferences on here, but can’t for a minute imagine it’ll make any difference to clubs business. We all seem to start arguing amongst ourselves for some reason when all we have are own opinions.
We all love our club and that’s took some doing over the last 30 years, so when I see people snipping at each other’s views on here makes me sad really as we all want to see success. Shame we can’t accept not everyone else will think the same as each other without attacking that opinion!!!
Roll on the new season please and let’s get back to blaming the ref for everything  happy days

I wasn't sniping, The point I was trying to make was that as a supporter it doesn't matter which surface I think is best , it's only to the people that play on it , and their preferences that it really matters. I wasn't suggesting that players have any input into the infrastructure of the club.

That slightly contradicts itself then....
At the end of the day, as we've said [imany[/i times, the pitch will be there a lot longer than [iany [/iof the current players, so it's down to the club - not the players.
Also, [inew [/i (to be laid) 4G pitches are so much better than 3G or even [icurrent[/i 4G pitches.....
Have played on the ones at Oakwell and they are good.

| I'm elated that this time there seems to be genuine hope that things are progressing.
I congratulate all at the club for their huge efforts.
I will be extremely proud to watch Trinity in a ground fit for purpose and quite frankly the last thing on my mind is the surface they play on.
I personally prefer grass all day long, but bow to the knowledge of others who have chosen the pitch they think will do the job.
When you think of what we're getting why moan about the pitch - professional people have made the decision that this surface will be the best for us, so that will do for me.
