Every season, without fail, there are always bleatings about the number of injuries and muck thrown in the direction of S and C, whilst there were already murmurings about the allegedly additional impact of the plastic pitch.

But yes, rugby players do get injured.

Muck thrown at S&C seems a touch defensive. It's literally their job to reduce injury risk and improve athletic performance.
The fact that there's been a high turnover in the department is what it is, a fact. Not sure placing come responsibility at their door is unfair.

Er OK whatever…..

Very little to come out of the forum tonight bar Hendy not thinking he’d like the pitch and now, seemingly, changing his mind.

Plastic pitch is great for allowing decent teams to come and show us how rugby should be played.

We are playing expansive rugby now so the plastic pitch is vital.

It allows us to set up mauls in the middle of the pitch not just the touchline.

Been sent a picture from a friend who lives on Mount Merrion and they say the floodlights were kept on all last night right through and still on at 7am…

Has the plastic pitch frozen or do we need to get rid of unaccounted for funds?
