I don't know the costs, but think they are definitely more expensive. You'd like to think if the Turnips can afford it given their financial woes we can too.

Turnips aren't paying for their pitch I am guessing, IRFU covering it. Munster owe Dublin much money from Thomond Park build etc.

Fewer matches ,better pitch. No need for a plastic pitch. Less matches and a top class grounds person will help solve the problem.
We don’t have one when will people listen we got rid of all ground staff a few months before the cancelled pitch debacle in December … a factor in cancellation maybe ??? 🤔

Were they laid off in anticipation of the plastic pitch? Must have Sparky mowing the grass, or perhaps it's one of the other things Jones does behind the scenes...

Ulster no longer have groundsmen as such as they let them all go sometime before the frozen pitch debacle … explains the frozen pitch the fact that they turned the floodlights on two days before in desperation of defrosting pitch..

They since employ a management company to call by every so often and keep the pitch up to scratch… may be reason why pitch is poor it no longer has daily attention..

It will need a cut this week for sure. Anyone got a spare flymo and an extension cord?

Only if you're using a 5G plastic grass phone - allegedly!


Even then, there's no reliable evidence to suggest that 3G,4G, 5G, 37G or any other G of plastic grass causes cancer.

But who am I to stand in the way of a good conspiracy rumour?
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right
