The original (Desso) pitches were renowned for being hard, like astro turf, but the particle size has got larger and they’ve changed the sand so it’s more forgiving on the limbs and softer than it used to be.

When i was being nosey on google maps this would seem to make the most sense. Then have a community share program with the council and Niagara. But as with many great ideas i presumed someone already tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl in Nottingham Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) I thought all the injuries were Carlos's fault? Edited March 11, 2019 by Owl in Nottingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I’ve never really got the Training Ground theory. From what I’ve seen the majority of injuries are happening during games. I’d say it’s more to do with how we prep for games or recover after them, rather than hard pitches at Middlewood Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticowl Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 My theory is that both Carlos and Jos had little knowledge of training pitch quality and suitability, DC has zero knowledge and probably no interest. Bruce however will sort these things out, DC will either listen to him or lose him, I’m backing the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Williams Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 its all happened since the pitch was leveld off, I say just put the hill back in and kick down hill to the kop in second half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Sheffield City Council for you. Yes but to get plans approved the council made them pay and improve the roads nearby.. I think we wanted the old shardlows sports ground some years ago and we agreed to let local schools etc use it at certain times...the council said no...cos of traffic problems?...anyhow a few years later there a two supermarkets and a pub Best bet is tell them we are building a supermarket. With a deso car park.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying since we got the new pitch we seem to get a lot more impact injuries than we did before the new pitch. It may or may not be the cause but it is something that needs to be checked.

If the clubs on going problems with injuries was as simple as too hard pitches at the training ground it would have been solved years ago. Plus we didn't seem to have so many injuries years ago.

As you look up Herries road from the Kop, Shirecliffe starts just the other side of the Five Arches where Scraith Wood is. The cliff that overlooks Hillsborough is Shirecliffe Meadows. It’s actually quite a peaceful place and I’d say quite a surprise for those that haven’t been up there. Anyway, back to the thread: it’s almost like the Pigs built their academy at Shirecliffe to côck a snook at us.
