Did anybody see that flare/fire on the pitch at Hyde last night? Is it me but after all the fire safety measures post Bradford, how the hell can such flammable material be used for a playing surface? Just imagine - Oh there's a fire in the stand - Lets get down on the pitch its safer there, oh wait a minute.........

I saw that. It was stupidity. I don't understand why clubs are going for these 3G and 4G pitches they can cause injuries to players especially if studs get caught in the fibre you can turn your ankle, also you can't tackle because if you slide tackle it burns and can also rip the skin.

Also the ball moves quicker on 3G and 4G pitches and doesn't take the bounce out of the ball like it does on grass.
