Good on the man
Ollie isn't the only one off his trolley.Dreadful idea we have enough plastic pollution without this . Why now ? The stuff should be banned .
You for real? I thought no one would be able to fault with this addition but I guess I was wrong.Dreadful idea we have enough plastic pollution without this . Why now ? The stuff should be banned .
Really ! I think you will find it will contribute to further plastic pollution as does all artificial grass . It’s bonkers absolutely no need .You for real? I thought no one would be able to fault with this addition but I guess I was wrong.
You do realise the plastic is stitched into the pitch and isn't going to blow around like a plastic bag and end up in the sea....
Artificial grass whether stitched in or rolled out will ultimately end up where we don’t want it. At some point it will be ripped up where do you think it will end up pray tell ?You for real? I thought no one would be able to fault with this addition but I guess I was wrong.

Except that most artificial grass is recyclable these days.Really ! I think you will find it will contribute to further plastic pollution as does all artificial grass . It’s bonkers absolutely no need .
Says who ? The manufacturer? Wonder how many local authorities have the ability to recycle plastic stitched into soil ? Just no need so why do it ?Except that most artificial grass is recyclable these days.
Why ? Because I am against plastic pollution? I make no apology for caring for the environment .Ollie isn't the only one off his trolley.

There’s no pollution issue with this though. This isn’t single use plastic is it ??Why ? Because I am against plastic pollution? I make no apology for caring for the environment .
Most reputable companies will recycle for you, I imagine we've employed a firm and that we haven't been down to B & Q to pick our own up.Says who ? The manufacturer? Wonder how many local authorities have the ability to recycle plastic stitched into soil ? Just no need so why do it ?
It will end up in land fill or water course no doubt .
There are a million more things to worry about before we decide the goal mouth of a professional football club is a bad idea for the planet. My mates garden has far more plastic than that, and they’re everywhere, so if we worry about 2 goalmouths in a professional stadium, no longer run by a fly tipper, I think perspective is needed, and I’m a lefty tree hugger by all accounts.Says who ? The manufacturer? Wonder how many local authorities have the ability to recycle plastic stitched into soil ? Just no need so why do it ?

Well I hope that is the case but there is no need for it . Unfortunately humans don’t have a good track record for dealing with used plastic and that is still the case .Most reputable companies will recycle for you, I imagine we've employed a firm and that we haven't been down to B & Q to pick our own up.

Recycled Artificial Grass Is Possible With Trulawn Harmony
We don’t support plastic waste, which is why we are the first UK artificial grass company to provide recycled artificial grass, which is also recyclable.www.trulawn.co.uk
Ok fair comment as a matter of interest do you have a debit/ credit card as they are made of plastic?Why ? Because I am against plastic pollution? I make no apology for caring for the environment .
It was a decent point, needed some research anyway!Well I hope that is the case but there is no need for it . Unfortunately humans don’t have a good track record for dealing with used plastic and that is still the case .
And it doesn’t need watering, using valuable resources . And you don’t get brown patches when the dog has had a wee. Great stuff done properlySays who ? The manufacturer? Wonder how many local authorities have the ability to recycle plastic stitched into soil ? Just no need so why do it ?
It will end up in land fill or water course no doubt .
What about wool ? A nice green colour could be stitched in and any surplus could be used for Josh's winter gloves!
Good on the man
I'm not an expert at all on it but I believe they are stiched in at 180mm deep and in a 2x2cm arrangement, so its predictable to a machine..... the question is when it comes to removal how they take the fibres out. Or if the pitch is renewed yearly how are the fibres avoided.Artificial grass whether stitched in or rolled out will ultimately end up where we don’t want it. At some point it will be ripped up where do you think it will end up pray tell ?
It’s plastic pollution and personally I feel sad that my club have stooped to this . Absolutely no need whatsoever.
Actually JJ that is just where microplastics do end up, though they may stop off in our food or drinking water en route. Anyway, big picture, I think there is generally a decent and encouraging amount of environmental awareness within our new ownership. Better than the fly tippers that's for sureYou for real?

See the post above with the article.Actually JJ that is just where microplastics do end up, though they may stop off in our food or drinking water en route.

Well I hope so JJ. We'll never be entirely without plastics, its just about using them better on the whole. My daughter is a chemist in a plastics recycling business and I work in corporate sustainability so I do look into all sides of the argument. Step by stepSee the post above with the article.
This isn't microplastics like dupont forever chemicals that end up in the water supply and end up in all of the worlds population of creatures, even in some tiny form.
These are massive, in comparison, fibres which can be managed and recycled no doubt as appropriate.
The article above from 2015 shows how they learnt how to renew these pitches without disturbing the fibres, effectively isolating them, so its one step after that to remove them.
Theres probably a joke about Blackburn in there somewhere...We'll never be entirely without plastics
Shut up you bloody foolWhy ? Because I am against plastic pollution? I make no apology for caring for the environment .
Where’s the plastic come from in the first place? Surely it’s recycled from used plastic and therefore already exists.?Really ! I think you will find it will contribute to further plastic pollution as does all artificial grass . It’s bonkers absolutely no need .
So every thing you use and wear is recyclable ?Says who ? The manufacturer? Wonder how many local authorities have the ability to recycle plastic stitched into soil ? Just no need so why do it ?

SS owns and runs the fantastic business of BFC, and the cost of running, developing, nurturing and adding value to his asset, comes with that ownership. Whenever the time is right for him, he will sell the club and hopefully make a huge profit in the process.Sorry Simon, you’ve spent £10 million buying the club, you’ve redecorated the stadium, relayed the pitch at least a couple of times, poured your own money in to keep the club going during the pandemic, overseen a complete overhaul of the management structure, seen us promoted to the championship and comfortably stayed there, organised the new training ground and east stand development and agreed to pay the cost of £30 million yourself, but it’s just not enough for some people.
Rest assured it’s only a few, the vast majority are with you.
The only good thing about that Nobbers travesty of a pitch was Ginge's screamerI am in favour of looking after the planet , but the amount of plastic used in the goal mouths will be minimal . If we don't want dodgy goals by bobbles I think its a good idea. Also plastic would rip into the goalies legs too At least it is not a plastic pitch like the knobbers had ,who obviously don't care about the planet.
