[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 657967, member: 67273"] I wouldn't be so sure - the problem with the Winter is how the weather effects the players directly, not the pitch. If it's 2 degrees and the rain is coming in sideways then there are several things that detract from player performance aside from the pitch condition: - Can't feel their hands - Can't see very well (something that I feel is completely ignored by most people) - if it's bright and sunny then you can literally see the position of the other players better. Too many other things to mention. Not to say this won't help, because their pitch is a mudbath, but even on concrete you can't negate the effects of bad weather. [/QUOTE]
