THX1138 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Does a synthetic pitch have any difference to the bounce of the ball in the game, i'm thinking Young Boys against Spurs in the Champions League this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Macklam Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Are there any in the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Carnivorous Badger Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Boavista of Portugal have a pitch surface of 'Articifical - New Type (soft)' As far as I'm aware, it doesn't affect the ball bounce, it might affect injury chance etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet/damaged pitches already impact pass speed and accuracy, and it may be my imagination but I've always thought that frozen pitches allow a lot more bounce from the ball.

The soft type is a more grass-like surface, but without the same level of degradation. You might be right, but with Soft type surface, the difference should be minimal.

THX1138 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Cliftonville also have synthetic pitch (3G) does anyone know if it is possible to get your grass pitch replaced with a new synthetic one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Carnivorous Badger Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Only if you get a new stadium built, I believe (and even then you won't get the choice). Also, artificial surfaces degrade, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
