ya tis a strange one alright, bit much to expect people to buy certain boots assuming they don't have them already(i'm sure most do though) for just 1 game a year.Quote:

I would be thinking lads would be mad to play a game on a top class fifa approved surface of this type especially with possibility of saturday night games so its win win in my eyes
Would you not think that the home team would have an advantage playing on this surface,rest of the clubs would only play on it once a year,home team would be well used to the bounce of the ball etc,
true but same thing could be said bout a team that play on a narrow pitch, bumpy pitch etc that home team would have advantage of playing on that pitch regularly
Fair point,but at least it's grass and earth,
There's no argument in my eyes particularly with the last few winters we've had and all the teams they have involved with schoolboy teams etc.A win win situation for anyone playing on this. Most if not all teams in Premier actually train on astro surfaces anyway. Well done to AislingQuote:

This is only people tryin to get back at AA over they brought up this rule about 4 players, quite sad really there was plenty of other clubs who agreed to it.
aisling have done what many other clubs are aspiring to do ,it is a great facility so well done to them for having the foresight to get it completed in such a short time frame.
This topic has been brought up well before aishling put forward that motion,and for what it's worth aishling were set up on that one,couple of ldmc members hadn't the balls to do something about it so they got aishling to put motion forward,and this is not a rumour it's a fact.Quote:

i think its an excellent facility and am looking forward to playing on the new astro.im sure aisling players and players on every other team will agree it is a much better option than the bottom field which is wrecked due to so many games.well done to all involved

Don't believe it if you don't want to,that's your own business,but time will tell.Quote:

Surface is the same as most clubs train on atleast once a week in the winter months,
As for Aisling having an advantage!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe, to start off with, but to make things even for all clubs..........why dont the LDMC hold the coming season's Touhy Cup in Aislings ground under floodlights (if they have them) , with Aisling's first round game being played last in order to give their opponents enough time to get used to the surface (and their players enough time to get moulded boots), and from there on its a win win for all concerned, all teams in the tournament will get more game/s to play on it and get used to it for the more important league games.
It is floodlit,and can you see ldmc paying the rent for the pitch and also losing gate money?
great suggestion,an ideal chance for all to sample the surface.Quote:
