3G artificial grass, all weather pitches are becoming more and more popular recently. Many clubs are moving from grass to train and play on plastic and rubber. To some it may sound discouraging, but I\u2019ll give you 5 reasons why it is actually better than grass.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. NO WATERLOGGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to worry about the weather that much and\u00a0still play a game or train even if it rains. Most of us don\u2019t like waterlogged pitches,\u00a0but there are exceptions:<\/p>\n

2. NO MUD<\/h2>\n

Your clothes and your boots will always stay clean!<\/p>\n

3. NO GRASS CUTTING<\/h2>\n

Artificial pitches still require regular maintenance, but not as often as grass.<\/p>\n

4. NO DRYING OUT<\/h2>\n

Again, the extreme weather conditions are not going to stop you from playing.<\/h2>\n

5. NO NEED FOR CANCELLING\u00a0YOUR GAME<\/h2>\n

\u201cEveryone is prepared for the big day, players are at the peak of their form, spectators are excited BUT\u00a0the pitch is unsuitable for the game\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, that won\u2019t happen on 3G. Enjoy the game!<\/p>\n
