| Quote super-fast-winger="super-fast-winger"Maybe so, I was under the impression that the ban on blades referred to those that are similar to just a strip of metal. - That have been banned in both professional and amateur football for years.
If the ban does refer to the style pictured above then its a somewhat stupid decision as I would say over 50% of players wear a similar style due to the grip, and also they can be used all year round.
Problem is that BARLA havent quite claryfied what they mean.'"
Apparently the statement regarding the ban has been removed from Barla website, awaiting legal advice, decision to be made in january.
regarding all blades metal tipped and moulded.

Another ill thought out decision from BARLA. This blades issue has been ongoing for ages. If you're going to ban them do so from the start of next season.
I've just forked out £100 for some new boots a few months ago and whilst I could afford to replace them there will be plenty who can't.

Blades aren't banned in Union. Boots are checked by the ref before the game and any boots which are deemed dangerous (blades or studs) are not allowed.

Same as us then.
If Football which it has, RL and Union all decide to ban them maybe the makers will do something about it.

Obviously stop making them.
I never saw what was wrong with the good old black boot with six screw in metal studs. You could always change your studs to suit the conditions.
Nowadays boots are more of a fashion statement with kids wanting the most upto date and expensive ones. No self respecting kid would take to the field wearing a £20/£30 pair of boots.

| A stupid decision from BARLA, not only because im £100 out of pocket - and all my other boots are of similar style, and being an apprentice that has christmas coming up, car to run etc. it hardly comes at a decent time.
If its good enough for Premiership football players to wear them ( in which there is far more possibility for injuries involving blades).

It will no doubt come under the Health and Safety banner.

| how stupid is this! plasic, moulded "blades" hurt less than studs. Like its been said previously more than 75% of my team wear these moulded blades, can't see everyone being able to afford new boots so soon!
I wouldn't bet against one of our games being called off if they stop some of our players playing because of this!!
