Might be slipping around more than Ealing. Imagine playing in blades on a muddy surface. Could be same effect with these wood chips against rubber bits.

For clarity, this new surface uses tiny bits of cork

Thanks
Happily corrected After a quick Google it seems this reduces injuries which is good news.

I mean, do you think Ealing care? Any advantage gained by the home side - as long as it's legal and ethical (and that's another debate for someone else) is fair game these days. Ealing are in it to win it.... again.

Third time's the charm. Don't know if anyone outside of Ealing fans have noticed, but Ealing has added two stars to their (ugly) home kit to represent their two Championship wins.

Ok makes much more sense thanks! In response to the naysayers then, I presume this goes some way to reduce burn injuries which have been a common (justified) criticism of these types of pitches. Not some Machiavellian attempt at a marginal gain over opponents.

Yeah I spotted that on the media shots. It's a nice little touch. I quite like the new kit. Definitely looks better in person. But it's a bit of a change moving away from the hoops so I get one some don't like it.

Possibly, but I don't recall any such on Cov's 3g (happy to be corrected). I think basic maintenance/ correct watering are the key here.
