And also the weather. Many is the time we've driven from a Sun drenched Manchester to a cold, rainy Accy.

That wasn't the sun, it was Flixton on fire.

Re: Cambridge United thread

The sooner the football league allow modern 3G pitches in the league, the better

Father wants 3G pitch review after 'links' to son's cancer - BBC Sport another good idea.

i agree its the way forward. they,re a bit of a marmite surface though as some hate em and others love em. from a personal point of view i am in the latter catogary as i can run around all day on them unlike thick mud when my legs move but i don,t get anywhere. its like everything new it,ll take time as so many remember pitches like preston in the 80,s which were really unfit for the job.

Re: Cambridge United thread

It's a tragic case, of course, and no doubt my natural inclinations would be the same as the lad's dad, but presumably there would be other cases that have occurred if there's significant danger from these pitches? I looked on't tinternet and found reference to many studies in the US about these surfaces. Many say they are safe, some doubting the reliability of the research.

Hard to know exactly how to proceed when there are concerns like this. Probably with some caution, but you can't completely stop progress for the sake of what only appear to be one or two incidents that may not be linked in any way.

My parents still won't use microwave ovens as they think they are cancerous for some reason. Sounds a bit bonkers to me, although there's plenty of cases in the past (e.g. Asbestos) which point towards a more safety first approach.

All i know having worked for years with Arsenic, is treat it with the upmost caution @ respect, we had to see the doc once a week for a check up.
