[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1105290, member: 58362"] On the flip side, why do coaches rest certain players for visits to plastic pitches and why do players complain about the effects after playing on them? To be fair, I can see the argument that there's a confirmation bias that any injury sustained on a plastic pitch is going to be blamed on the surface, ignoring the fact that it might have been just as likely to have happened on grass. Ultimately the question for me is where the burden of proof lies - is it up to those who want to use a plastic pitch to prove that they are safe, or is it up to those who don't want them to be used to prove that they're unsafe?
