Rockcliffe is quite near the river so, with grass, it might get waterlogged. I presume they were looking for an all weather surface?What’s up with grass?
He’s leaving the club apparently.Interesting to see Brian English the club doctor walking to the Riverside after the match yesterday. Looked like he'd been playing squash. Would have thought he'd be there on a match day.
It’s now a hybrid surface (half artificial / half grass) to replicate the Riverside.What’s up with grass?
He's left and come back already. One of the players said he made a huge difference to his recovery from injury. Obviously a key figure but who knows.He’s leaving the club apparently.
Or Jones being assaulted by Hugill.I don't recall a crunching tackle on Bangura or Latte Lath, being on the "training pitch", unless we've started training at the Riverside.
That's a myth.
hackney got fouled for his injury to. jones, bangura, smith, mcgree, lenny, paddy, dijk and fry all had tendon injuries off the top of my head. lath was an ankle after a dodgy tackle mcgree have a bad heel. i dont think its a myth or a coincidence. we might not be hearing about the little niggles players have that we dont really hear about, like engel has now. if the medical team think there is a surface issue, then its likely is that, rather than something someone just made up.I don't recall a crunching tackle on Bangura or Latte Lath, being on the "training pitch", unless we've started training at the Riverside.

he was pushed in the back and tweaked his hamstring. hardley an assault. it was a strange one, jones must have violin strings for hamstrings if that's how easy it is to pull one.Or Jones being assaulted by Hugill.
I’d love him to stay but in a way I wouldn’t want him to if it means losing him for nowt next May.
He apparently came to us to find a path to the prem, that’s why he said no to Celtic.I’d love him to stay but in a way I wouldn’t want him to if it means losing him for nowt next May.
I didn’t know The Riverside was part artificial, no wonder there are so many injuries. Although it would be interesting to know if opposing teams pick up injuries at The Riverside.It’s now a hybrid surface (half artificial / half grass) to replicate the Riverside.
Hasn’t it got artificial fibres woven in, to help keep the structure together?I didn’t know The Riverside was part artificial, no wonder there are so many injuries. Although it would be interesting to know if opposing teams pick up injuries at The Riverside.
Aren't most surfaces like that now?I didn’t know The Riverside was part artificial, no wonder there are so many injuries. Although it would be interesting to know if opposing teams pick up injuries at The Riverside.
Who cares about money, I’d rather have him another 12 months than a few million. We have made enough recently and he may be the difference between championship money and a premier league windfall.I’d love him to stay but in a way I wouldn’t want him to if it means losing him for nowt next May.
Letting players run their contracts down, rather than selling for a fee, isn't sustainable at all.Who cares about money, I’d rather have him another 12 months than a few million. We have made enough recently and he may be the difference between championship money and a premier league windfall.
Yes fair comment that I was exaggerating it was a bit of a freak injury and Hughill will not have intended to injure Isaiah but the point is that he was out for a good few games injured by an opposition player during a match and it was nothing to do with the training pitch.he was pushed in the back and tweaked his hamstring. hardley an assault. it was a strange one, jones must have violin strings for hamstrings if that's how easy it is to pull one.
I would rather keep him though than sell him for less than he’s worth.Letting players run their contracts down, rather than selling for a fee, isn't sustainable at all.
Bringing in money for McGree would pay for a player to replace him over 3/4 years.
I get why clubs cash in, as frustrating as it can be for fans.
