The afternoon was really dragging for Walter. His first post had ended with ridicule being heaped on his head and he still had time to kill until the other patients came back from their day out. There was only one thing for it - start another pointless post...

Might be a better idea if the league allowed all weather pitches otherwise you might find every home game being postponed

I think the most important point of my post might have been glossed over

Is there a way of ignoring certain posters on the forum? A kind of ignore list, where you can't see 'contributions' from selected posters?

A meeting at the FA in May decided the following could be played on artifical pitches of FIFA 1 rating next season;

The following FA Committees have now approved the use of such pitches in their respective competitions for season 2007/08:

FA Trophy
FA Vase
FA Youth Cup (qualifying rounds only)
FA Women’s Premier League and Cup
FA Sunday Cup
FA County Youth Cup

The Premier League and FA Cup are still excluded from the list and as long as the FA Cup in particular remains excluded there is no chance of the football league granting permission otherwise their clubs will have to play all cup matches away from home.

There are I believe 3 teams in next season UEFA Cup who will be playing on artificial pitches so there is some movement but I think it will be quite a few years before they are accepted here again on a wide scale. I think I still have the burns from playing a works match at Deepdale about 20 years ago on the Astroturf
