PFA call for ban on plastic pitches in Scottish Premiership

[Sylar]

Livingston's manager makes a fair point for me: if the SFA suddenly decide these pitches should be banned, the SFA should be paying the clubs that DO have them, the money required to rip them out and put in a new grass surface.

Because it was the SFA who allowed their installation in the first place (the change has to be approved by a committee) - if they suddenly change the goalposts and leave these clubs with no option but to replace them by demand, it should be up to them and not the clubs to fork up for it.

If there was any truth to artificial pitches being better for the game and athlete's, then we'd see them in the EPL, La Liga and Serie A. The EPL and as far as I'm aware, Championship have all grass pitches and have the same weather as us. Grass has been and always will be the best conditions to play on.

The epl and the football league are grass only.

Sutton United said they'd refuse promotion should they get it as they'd be required to take up their Astro.
