  1. All secondary new schools (Academies) I’ve ever worked in have new, well-maintained 3G pitches, which are hired out to the public as much as possible most evenings and weekends for much needed extra income - is this ‘charity’ school you refer to a private operation? I would counter your argument of taking facilities away from schools by stating we should adopt the US approach in this scenario - make schools the safety net for all kids when it comes to investment in young people’s sporting development and potential. So many kids I have worked with who have that potential are let down by uninterested parents or, worse still, parents who can’t afford the modest subs that local clubs charge them (coupled with the add ons of kit, new boots etc).
  2. I definitely hear ya, and my lad plays for an under 7s side. We went to Brislington a few weeks back and it was wet but playable. Before the game I was surprised that his coaches suggested they shouldn’t play on the pitch - there was another game straight after and they felt the pitch would ultimately cut up too much and be ruined. But, the main argument made was why play on a pitch that would become too heavy and then limit the ability of the lads to play the game they’ve been coached - that coupled with the fact they’ll play 50-odd games this season so why push it? Tbf, when a game on grass has been called off due to weather, the coaches seem to act quick to book a local 5 a side pitch to play on. But I totally get your sentiments.
  3. Much appreciated all. Tickets purchased and with the confidence you’ve given me, I’m aiming for the dugout first and then just go from there
  4. I have had a last minute opportunity come in to take my 3 young kids tomorrow, but can’t get 4 seats together in the upper landsdown part of the stadium. What do you think the actual chances of us being able to sit together are if I just go ahead and purchase 4 separate tickets in that block? Appreciate any advice

  6. Have just purchased some F DC re-sale tickets for the Academy in October. Not been this excited about a gig since forever.
