    The NFL season every season brings up a meme around the 4G synthetic pitches they have around ACL injuries. There's one now since the MetLife stadium was selected for the WC 2026 final around "how can we gather the world's most expensive ACLs into MetLife". It's notorious for ligament tears.

    I think Spurs installed the mixed turf on their new ground? Their pitch is basically 3 lego panels that can get swapped out and the NFL pitch is the same 3 panel thing stored about 20 feet below. The football pitch.

    If we try to play the type of football we did against Wycombe (on a pig of a pitch) until the end of the season there will be few complaints, irrespective of where we finish

    :joy::joy::joy:, maybe the Stans will replicate and ground share with us as we did with them in the 1970s.

    another novel idea 12000 adult season ticket holders all pay £300 for their season tickets, leading to increased revenue to invest by the club. snow ball in hell comes to mind.

    Everywhere away from the streets and paths is just boggy all the time.
    I walk the dog for 5 miles a day and have given up on ball time on grass parkland as it's not worth it.

    I don't understand why we are putting the covers on, yes it will stop further rain soaking into the pitch but the forecast is for the rain to stop later tonight, no rain Sunday but minus 1 Sunday night early hours of Monday morning so most of Sunday it could be drying out then put covers on Sunday evening ?.

    Artificial football pitches are not allowed for competition use (match play) in the Premier League, Championship or EFL League One and Two.

    You'll have to do better @Loyalbantam@Loyalbantam, next move ?.

    Not sure mate , lots probably think they are overpaying as it is,
    What is the saying, pay peanuts get monkeys, if we want a better product ,we should expect to pay for it, we have had the cheap football for long enough . One thing is certain Rupp is not going to pay for it.

    I don't disagree, but in fairness to the club the pitch has been much better over the last 3 or 4 years. It looks worse than it probably is, because of the grass being killed by playing the Liverpool game in awful conditions. And you can't grow grass at this time of the year without serious costs invested in thermal UV lighting.

    It's frustrating, but weather always has and always will disrupt 2 or 3 games a season.

    I do wonder if the drainage is not working as it should, hence get the covers on to try and stop more water getting in, that might freeze good and proper come Sunday evening.
    How good are the frost covers at keeping water off the pitch.

    Sorry mate not for me, there are times when the owner has to show a little interest in his investment and not be happy just to be sustainable.
