Those three posts are certainly concise! Probably the longest answer ever on here! Interesting though I have to say. The trouble will always remain though that these cheaper artificial surfaces are still light years away from the 'semi' artificial pitches used at the highest levels, so the football that can be played on them will always be dire to watch.
The only thought worse than Covid for me at the moment is the realisation that I will have to endure another game at Bedworth with the ball bouncing high enough to hit planes and skidding off the pitch at the speed of an exorcet missile ::)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Is this the only artificial pitch in this league ? Or should I say was this the only match ?

What may also play a part is that in the Netherlands we have many more artificial grass fields at almost every football club or to train on, but also competition fields, I mean to say that our youth has grown up with this in the last 15 to 20 years and likes to play football on this, they don't know better that they can train every week and play their game regardless of the state of the field. It has many advantages: you keep them off the street and you keep them fit.
  And at some point they are used to the changes of the fields, then artificial grass and then grass fields. I therefore think that the level of youth has greatly improved in recent years. Also think that you should not look back because we used to play on grass but let the youth play football where they want and on what surface they want. They have the future and we must try to keep drawing the youth to play football. They don't care as much on which surface they can play football as they can play football ....

No, Yaxley also had one. I think there was another one as well?

Definitely as community pitches for everybody to have an opportunity to play football. For me though, they should not be used as competitive venues because the ball simply does not play true. Maybe if the players had never played on any other surface then they would have adapted to it but I can't ever remember watching a game I have enjoyed on it.
