The 2017/18 PRISP noted that the severity and burden of injury on artificial pitches was greater than on natural grass. This was particularly marked for lower limb injuries (foot, toe and hamstring). On average it's 39 days injured on artificial pitches versus 30 on grass. There's no difference in the number of injuries.

Is there any scientific evidence to say grass/mud/frozen winter pitches/rock hard summer pitches are better than artificial ? Other than old buffers with a fondness for the days of their own youth ? Edited by MikeGC - 12 Sep 2019 at 10:27 |

Is there any scientific evidence to say artificial is better than grass ? Plenty of financial motives for plastic but no scientific evidence in favour of plastic either, just money men getting their way and player welfare be damned. |

So he injured his knee on a grass pitch but blames playing on a artificial pitch for making his injury worse? It is hardly scientific evidence against artificial pitches is it?

Dylan Hartley in todays Grundian Hartley said he would like to ban playing professional rugby on artificial pitches, having injured his knee on Worcester’s artificial grass in December. “I don’t agree with them,” he said. “I’d played the fortnight before and I’d tweaked my knee in a game, then I played on an artificial pitch the following week and probably playing on an injury didn’t help. If there’s a platform to show my support for getting rid of artificial pitches, it’s here. It might be suited to under-10s or under-12s but from a personal point of view I don’t like them.”

To be fair, at the end of the past few seasons the Cov pitch has been like playing on dried mud. A 3G pitch would have to be softer than that...

Whilst not a fan of such pitches this is great news as the Coventry pitch was by far the worst in Nat One when they were there and in the Championship. Not sure some of their heavier forwards will be thankful of the change.....

And it seems that the Cov AGP is just about to be installed.
Confirmation via a circuitous route (the owner of one of our tenant clubs who have been displaced for the rest of the summer due to the works).

And to add:
The Ricoh has a hybrid pitch which is used by two football teams, and not for training on. It's trashed. |

But when you are a city centre club with one pitch, that's used by three football teams (potentially five with Ladies/2nds), trained on, used by several local schools, for concerts (etc), what then? |

I think with the advance of drainage the days of mud bath pitches is over. In the last couple of years all our 5 pitches have been playable apart from snow and frost so I don't think we would ever move to 3/4G pitches

I agree. The technological advances in hybrids will hopefully lead to the plastic pitches being dug up. |

The hybrid pitch at Doncaster must be the way forward. It looked superb late season.
Think I read it cost £400k |

I believe the decision to have one therefore is based purely on economics, nothing to do with what the players want which is about as far as you can get from the idea of rugby being a game for the players. The players then, are looked on as commodities, to be told when & where to play and to hell with what they want or the consequences. How can any committee man look his players in the eye and say he has their interests at heart when in reality they are just pound note generating machines to him ? |

Yes, I know of one club that did and the choice of grass was unanimous as visits to sides with plastic pitches were deeply unpopular because of the effects on the body. Personally I think that they should only be used when the grass pitches are waterlogged/frozen. |

I'm sure the answer would be grass even with all its weather prone considerations. |
