Artificial turf

This came from Jeremy Cullock before the game.

They're talking about the surface, Quinny, and he says, the players tend to stay away from the AstroTurf, even at Lennox Town.

Nice prep that, by the way.

They might train a little bit on it before a game like this, but I'm not even sure they did.

I think if you remember against Ferris Varoche, when we lost the goal straight after half-time, Colby Donovan was caught right up the park as well.

He was virtually playing as a winger.

so it's not the first time that we've seen to have bombed the wingers forward instead of saying go and just tuck in there for a wee while especially in the first couple of minutes there just seems to be the press is not there the shape is not there and it's quite and the game situation is not there I mean we're playing on a plastic pitch, so we played on Wednesday night, so you've got a recovery game, a recovery day on the Thursday, maybe in the morning, but on the Friday and the Saturday, we should have been at Lenox Town on the AstroTurf, doing game shape on the AstroTurf at Lenox Town.

The fact that Mr McCulloch says we didn't even do that is completely baffling, and Even, as you say, even amateur clubs would prepare.

They're finding him because he's wearing a more safer, flexible type of cleat.

And, you know, look at the AstroTurf.

Utley went down on AstroTurf yesterday, AstroTurf.

I'm a big believer of grass fields.

and go with the flexible, allow those flexible cleats to be allowed to be wore.

There's other players that are wearing them and they're getting fined as well.

We have to make it safer for these players.

The problem, I mean, listen, the one thing I'll say, Mark, I don't think AstroTurf has a damn thing to do with it, brother.

And, you know, uh, I'm behind Celeb over there, the Chicago quarterback, they're finding them because he's wearing a more safer, uh, flexible type of cleat.

And, you know, uh, look at the AstroTurf.

Not with this.

It gave me turf.

But yet you could see mud coming off the turf, you know, the AstroTurf, like get rid of the mud, you know.

So, yes.

And it came in.

Oh, the turf

grass? Okay, so first let's start off with a quote on just the real grass, and then I'll give you the quote, try to figure out the quote for the fake AstroTurf grass.

With installation, I would say that the real grass is probably $2,000.

Okay.

Absolutely.

And as you said, they have a vibrant underage side of things and the kids like nothing more than having the AstroTurf, the Floodlit.

It brings a bit of buzz to training, doesn't it?

What does, like, when you see, when you enhance your facilities, as the facilities over the last couple of years, now to the goodwill of the community and everyone there, its members, local businesses, who we all depend on in all sports parts of life too as well, who've made it, it seems to grow.

When you see something developing in front of your eyes and when you pass the rugby club there on a Sunday and you see all the people running around enjoying themselves there, you see the lights on, you see activity going and you see people out doing what they should be doing, out exercising and enjoying themselves there, that builds a whole thing and it builds the facility and I think this is kind of like the icing on the cake you have this facility there it's going and I think at the same time rugby isn't all year round too as well so that facility can benefit other people too as well like you know so

very much so what's the hope out there you want to build obviously an AstroTurf facility out there what part of the facility at the moment are you hoping to use to put that on

We're actually trying to purchase land at the moment and joining the club.

And that's why the fundraising is far.
