Quote: bobm "If there is a switch to summer a short season could quickly become a neccessity as councils make their pitches soccer for the winter and then changing the posts for a short RL season. will give them extra income stream and the possibility of selling off playing fields.'"
The smart councils will get the dual purpose posts. Soccer goals with the uprights on top.
Pitches that belong to clubs and don't get used in the winter will not be rutted when we get into spring and summer and won't be bare of grass either.
It's a no brainer in my personal opinion, especially for the junior game. At the risk of generalising, the only few people I've spoken to about a potential change (and I've spoken to a lot, believe me) who thought that we should stay as we are have been over 65, without exception.
