Hey everyone,
Am currently doing some research as to the safety of the artifical football pitches versus traditional grass surfaces..
As we are all well aware there are now a number of artifical pitches in the Wellington region - football in all weather, great! BUT, I have heard a number of stories relating to some quite horrific injuries suffered on the same pitches, mostly through directional changes etc.
Are there any cases out there where this sort of thing has happened to people? Would love to hear from people if so..
I quite often play on them myself and am always terribly sore for a few days afterwards, but am wondering what the general consesus is for Wellington football players?
Cheers guys!
