Longshot

Very sad to see. could be other grounds going this way.

There are a lot of pluses for these pitches, But nobody ever mentions the fact that a large number of players cannot play on them due to injuries they cause. My own son regularly plays on a grass pitch with no problems, but one game on a artificial surface and he suffers from bad knee pain. It seems that these pitches are the future and if you are one who cannot play on them then tough luck for you.
