Yes it's the way forward that. 

Probably worth saying Dewsbury were able to lay that plastic pitch partly because a lifelong supporter - Christine Gooder - left them enough money in her will and partly because there was land available (did the club own it already?) next to their stadium.

Spotland has a hybrid system. 50% grass - 50% sand 🤣

On a related note, back in the normal-times I played a bit of masters. We used to train in a sports hall and play on grass. We switched to training on artificial grass with the rubber crumb in it - within a month six of us were out with knee problems.

Do any rugby league pitches use the hybrid system?

 

Didn't spot this thread earlier, but as said on the Fev v Leigh thread: Desso/hybrid pitches are the way forward. York's is like a carpet, and three football clubs have played on it right through the winter.

Bradford used to be a stronghold of the Sealed Knot civil war re-enactment society. It also retains the Worth Valley (steam) Railway, Saltaire ... a World Hertage Site ... and founded the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

On Sunday, we were treated to a heritage game featuring fat blokes playing in terrible winter weather on the Odsal Bog.
