I don't think it will be astroturf. It'll be like the pitch at the Reebok with thin bits of plastic grass mixed in with real grass i would think.

Just read the report, doesn't sound like there will be any real grass on it. That synthetic stuff pretty good though.

the pitch is the same as in my back garden and in the soccer dome, it really is great stuff, its supported by rubber to cushion the impact.

Perhaps they will rename their ground to Visa Stadium.

Such pitches are the future for amateur / Championship clubs IMO. These pitches are a country mile from the original 'astro turf' pitches where the ball ran crazily fast and bounced ludicrously high and your skin was burned upon harsh, fast contact.
