Our new injury free pitch.

[Hastings woody]

With all the injurys we now have,does anyone else think maybe this state of the art new fibre injury free pitch we have is maybe not working and maybe working against us.? or is it just plain bad luck,to many pulled hamstrings for my likeing. just a thought. ? ?

 

[Seasider78]

We have had just as many injuries on the road so no I don't think it is the pitch.

More likely a result of the players performing and training at a higher intensity than league 1

 

[Hastings woody]

I do hope so. i do hope we've just been a bit unlucky. hope our luck changes.

It may have something to do with it, in that they don't train on anything similar at the moment. Suspect though that we are just being rather unlucky this year.

Over training the players, simples.

 

[Vicar!]

A point I have been making constantly, I agree!

My line of thinking is a pitch with fibres in may have more give in it which would be great when you fall over or hit it hard but may not be as good as something more solid that you need to spring off into a sprint,like maybe blocks for a sprinter. which nooney,kaz and buckley are,sprinters. Maybe that bit of give in the playing surfice isn't good for a hamstring. Anyone ? ?

I heard a rumour that the pitch is going to be pulled up over the summer and relaid.

No idea. A reasonable theory though. Once the academy is up and running, I would imagine that the training pitches there will be to the same standard, so they will get used to it.

The fibre pitch would have more purchase for a sprint start than the withdean pitch

Perhaps the club could contact and ask for injury details of the respective players for clubs that have played here to see if a trend appears.

MAybe we might of had more if we didn't have the pitch...

Fairly likely as Fatboy slim's going to destroy it.

Maybe but i can't remember a past season with so many injuries, seems strange we have now.

Some hamstring strengthening exercises are required in the closed season me thinks.
