Lots of pitches out there with this surface in use, quite a lot of junior games and amateur does not seem to cause any issues with surface burns etc.
Maidenhead RFU pitch is a really good example of this type of surface as is Widnes, I think all the fears about burns etc have gone away.

Just before anyone kicks off about thread drift the fact i mention a rah rah pitch, schools regional finals use maidenhead and it works really well, i know intensity massivly different but still same issues

If the new "plastic" pitch, does anything it should give us an advantage, in the same way Batley and Fev have at home.
What will be nice is that we can have under 19s games before the first team play.
I always enjoyed those games when we were at The Stoop.

These modern pitches aren't anything like the old sand packed astro turf, that knackered your knees and fetched 3 layers of skin off every time you made contact.
Chatting to Hendo after one of the games this season, and he was going over all the travelling around he was doing because youth, under 19's, first team training, and match days were all at different locations. So he's definitely looking forward to everything being under one roof.
Furthermore we'll be allowed to do competitions, presentations, and the like on the pitch.
Just a shame about the rest, but that's been done to death elsewhere.
