Is it planned that the actual stadium pitch is a 3G artifical turf? I know its planned to provide the training pitches in this 3G, but not sure if has been posted somewhere that the acutal pitch is to be the same material.

There was an article online that suggested this but the plans were always that the main stadium pitch would be grass.
The last time I asked this was still the case and if you look at the full text from which the press release was taken, it does relate to the community pitch not the stadium pitch.

Thanks for that Guys. I read the article a couple of times, just wanted to clear it up. I have to say that 3G looks an exciting surface, if it was required to could it be used as a main pitch surface? Does the FA allow its use? What about player injury, burns etc.,?

The fa allow it. Maidstone play on one. So do Team Solent. We could not because the 3G pitch does nog meet ground grading.
Our players start training on it tonight.
