I know the debate over 3G pitches has opened up again but until the FA use some common sense and lift the ban on them being used in the Conference and above, then we can't even contemplate having a 3G pitch.
It's a real shame as if the ban wasn't in place then having a 3G pitch in place for clubs our size would be a no-brainer
Maidstone United are raking in a small fortune from hiring out there pitch throughout the week without having to worry about the condition of the pitch. They also don't have to worry about having to throw a load of match-day programmes in the bin when it starts raining the day before a game. Although they will have worries if in several years time they become promotion contenders to the Conference....
No Natural bounce of the ball and injuries is all that springs to mind. Although there are a few teams in our league who seem to thinks its played in the clouds, football is played on grass and open to adverse conditions.
