Plastic Pitch
The local media picking up on the long term chat of Ravenhill going to a plastic pitch. They say it is being considered. Is it a done deal?
Re: Plastic Pitch
Petrie said back in December that they were looking at it. Probably a cheaper option than undersoil heating. It’ll still freeze over though.

Can’t understand why it’s says ‘possibility of changing’. It’s happening!

By the time they employ more physios and buy more treatment tables for all the ballixed knees, the cost will be insurmountable.

Re: Plastic Pitch
Worst idea in a long line of bad ideas at UR. I HATE plastic pitches.
Re: Plastic Pitch
I like to be able to smell the grass when I’m at the game.
Can they give the plastic a fragrance or maybe spray something over the East Terrace?

Re: Plastic Pitch
Yeah it’s happening - I heard that Petrie have a presentation to the players, and when some of them tried to say that they weren’t that keen and were concerned about injuries and stuff, he completely shut them down.. which didn’t go down well. But a bit of a fait accompli.
In fairness it probably does make sense, and I don’t think that theres any clear evidence of increased injuries on the newest surfaces

Re: Plastic Pitch
Does this mean that we'll now be the real Plastic Paddies.

Re: Plastic Pitch
In fairness some of the artificial pitches seem to be ok, dragons etc, just depends on what type they go for.

I have every faith that UR will have done meticulous research and make a money-no-object decision based on whatever is the best option...
