Quote: Dr Chim Richalds "Was talking to a physio from another local SL club the other week and he said that he was under the impression that the pitch was going to be removed in the not too distant future.
He said that when his team played they had no complaints about the surface other than it was a bit harder to stop yourself. But he did say that a number of players had suffered infections in the grazes they picked up from sliding on the playing surface and were on anti-biotics. He also said that a number of our players were also suffering with these grazes that weren't getting an opportunity to heal.
From a commercial point of view I don't see the pitch being ripped up any time soon.'"
I don't see it going either. If the stories of infected grazes not healing was true then we'd be seeing the team run out with legs like leppers! Not doubting infections can happen as it sounds possible, but I just can't see it being a big problem.
