Stats to show it's an advantage to Dundalk I presume.
A poster (and author of 'C'Mon the Town') put up a post over on orielweb analyzing all home games since our return to the premier division claiming that the pitch is of less advantage to Dundalk than most clubs home pitch is to them.
The fact is that some people will never like the pitch no matter how many tests it passes or how many stats are produced. Some people simply don't like the look of it! Say it looks terrible on telly, in my opinion that has to do with the camera angle and floodlights, look at the below pic taken on Sunday:

Looks ok to me, but again this is just opinion. There are many Dundalk fans who don't like the pitch and would like to see a return to grass. I think the thing that annoys most Dundalk fans is the amount of publicity the pitch gets when there are many poor grass pitches around the league.
Anyway this same discussion will be repeated until the day comes when the pitch is replaced. God forbid we actually won the league with this pitch, people would be calling for an asterisk beside our name in the history books!
