It's what happens when we let our best people be poached by the big clubs..
Isn't our pitch a combination of grass and synthetic fibres?

I think we were one of the first clubs to use something called a 4g playing surface. It's looked pristine ever since no matter what the weather has thrown at it so it's strange that it seems to have deteriorated so quickly. The club has won all the accolades going for some years now so hopefully it will be sorted out pdq.
Can't believe no one's blamed Bono. Cue CD
Can you play FA matches on 4g?

This tells what the pitch was a couple of years ago. http://www.dessosports.com/sports/football/football-projects/aston-villa-ukWe also won the Football League pitch of the year for 2016-17 so God knows what's happened lately.
Yeah noticed that yesterday, for the first time in years it looks patchy, can only assume it's down to the number of matches played at various levels combined with the poor weather we've had over the last six weeks.

Again, probably a financial decision we no longer play there.If that being the case, should we not be using Bodymoor Heath for games played outside of the first team?
