........and 1 is a hybrid surface i.e. it has natural grass "reinforced" by plastic grass. The remaining 6 are grass.

I was under the impression that most of the Premiership pitches in this country use that sort of hybrid model. Do you know more about that from your professional viewpont?

It wasn't me that wrote that, but yes, the top pitches are hybrids these days.

By the way, before OG throws a paddy, the hybrid pitches that are used are only about 5% plastic. It does though then give the natural grass a lot more strength and durability. It basically 'holds' the whole thing together.

Sorry about that A, I wasn't deliberately misquoting you -there were a lot of quotes within quotes and the html was a bit messy
Back on thread, not long to go before you back your annual league prediction. in private, just between you and I, can I we have a sneak preview? What do you think your official prediction will be this year?

I know that you are the cruxiverbalist, but a slight suggestion for change is that WC is most likely change to WGT or WAGT depending on apostrophe usage.

I would like to. But. I normally like to see about 3 or 4 minutes of actual football on which to base my entire seasons prediction.

BTW though, I can't actually remember any occasion where I haven't come to the same decision. I think I might just get a tad overexcited.

[Noggin]

I can think of several years when even after 3 or 4 minutes we could all see that it was not overexcited, but simply delusional

[andy]

but simply delusional

Probably this.

yep it’s the little showers of plastic, balls bouncing higher than an elephants eye and skidding off at 120 mph on these ‘practice’ pitches that infuriate me
