I am great believer that football at professional level should only be played on grass .

The Dutch are giving a subsidy of 300.000 euro's to clubs who change back to grass but they won't ban plastic pitches.

I have to admit I'm not sure about plastic pitches being that dangerous. Don't our players train on plastic pitches (as well as grass) pretty much every day? We have an indoor synthetic pitch at Auchenhowie. The point about synthetic pitches being used at elite level is a different question. Synthetic pitches will never provide the experience of grass pitches. But if they were that dangerous we wouldn't all be training on them, never mind the fact that the vast majority of youth football is played on plastic these days.

There appear to be different views on it within the game.

 

When at Rangers, David Templeton wasn't played when the team played on an artificial surface but his next club was Hamilton Academicals.
