    One problem with this would be the net that goes down the middle. I hate playing on astro pitches that have a net, it really slows the games down. Also, I like it when the goals are recessed, as it keeps the game going, ie there are no goal kicks when the ball goes wide etc.

    it really depends on the type of netting you get. if the netting is heavy enough, and tightly spread accross the pitch the ball will simply bounce away from it. it is also an idea to make it 'weighty' at the bottom - it stops the net from blowing further into in of the pitches.

    its a much better option than putting a wall through the pitch to make two five-sides and not allow a full length eight-a-side
