Royals and Racers Watching Oxford City`s FA Cup match tonight, it`s struck me how good artificial pitches are these days. I believe Bracknell, Ascot and Basingstoke have them and Reading City will be next to get one. No one seems to have any problem staying upright on it tonight.

4G.
They are certainly great for the lower league teams. No postponements, the ability to ground share with other teams to get extra income in and also good for community relations as it allows for partnerships with local schools to use the facilities etc.

The clubs say their pitches are 3 G - so i will take that as read.

paultheroyal Yeah i think 4G pitches are a myth - they actually don't exist yet.
The very new ones and recently installed are excellent, they play well. Maintenance is key though and if left poorly maintained they do deteriorate and quickly. Life span is approximately 10 years. My lad is a goalkeeper, and the pet hate is stripping him down when he gets in to literally an avalanche of black bits and balls!!
