Yeah, definitely should not be used for top flight football.

That's the railway stand on sale to Utd fans now with a just a few hundred left behind the goal
The stand behind the goal holds 3370 but a few hundred at the end are damaged so not available hence the decision to release that one to us to bump the away allocation back upto 3300
Sales still look good, must be 2500-2600 ish now
Wasnt aware it was that many. Like Shedka said above it really should be scrapped for the top league at a minimum. It is such an unfair advantage and obviously an injury risk to certain players. Wonder how the players feel that have to play on it every other week.
Definitely should be banned for the top two leagues. Don't really have so much of a problem with the lower leagues but would be very happy to see them gone.
At the very least, it shouldn't be allowed in the Premiership. Championship clubs don't have a requirement for undersoil heating, so the argument about it being all-weather kinda ends there. If clubs were to then get promoted, tough titties. Stay doon. Them's the gambles.
I can see an argument for smaller community clubs having an artificial pitch. There should be a ban on them in Premiership and if lower league clubs gain promotion to Premiership who has one give them compensation towards relaying their pitch. If they don't want to do that they can stay in the lower leagues. What was ridiculous was Livingston laid their artificial pitch the summer they were promoted to Premiership.
