Nothing a bit of dried mud can’t fix though you can get done for that.
Remember that match. Goal kicks were lethal if allowed to bounce as they were on a trajectory for a top corner.
Could be really good or bad. But we tend to mess these up these “opportunities”.
Hopefully we will buck the trend and have five straight wins at LR.
I remember it well too. I know the guy who put the pitch in - he got me into the plastic pitch industry a few years later and i'm still in it - hence the Venables picture alongside my name
Back in 1987, this used to be the battle of the plastic pitches although we ripped ours out a few years before Luton. We always were ahead of them
Yeah think the club shop might take some of my money for a couple of extra layers.
I know I'm in the minority on this one but I've always thought it was a mistake to give up on it. There were at least three pitches laid down in the few years the club had it and each was a considerable improvement on the previous one. I don't know how the costs compare to the ongoing investment in managing the state of the grass surface but the huge financial advantage, not to be sniffed at by clubs like ours, was precisely that they could hold other outdoor events and actually generate revenue for the club several times a week 52 weeks of the year.
Had they done so and ignored the bleating of those who simply wanted to maintain the status quo I do wonder whether we would have suffered the financial shenanigans of the last 20 years or so. If they had not caved in to those vested interests, others would have installed one and by now, I believe the investment would have led to a playing surface which closely resembled grass without all the disadvantages, There would not even have been a need for VAR because we would have had the football equivalent of Hawkeye to resolve all of those goal-line and offside decisions.

Unchanged starting eleven. When was the last time that happened?
Bit quiet in Shebu for an hour before kick-off.
Done the usual Rangers to win, loads of cards, loads of bookings, Luton to be named European capital of culture bet builder for a five to win £900. Nailed on.

In an updated way plastic pitches are still used a lot in Norway including the top league because of the weather.
Loads in Sweden, obviously. My team, Norrköping have had one for well over a decade. They are so good now that you don't notice any difference.
Come on u RRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssss!!!!!
