sorry.. but no no no no no to synthetic... In a country like australia there should be no need for it... (plus im still not overly convinced re long term injuries) over here naturally we have synthetic/artificial due to the winter months etc.. It is a perfect tool for training, club team capacity and so forth.. but I find the football just not the same on artificial turf and personally allways feel much more sore after a game and training session on artificial turf.. dislike playing dislike watching.... WE have 2 superleague teams currently that play with synthetic.. it limits the stadiums abilities to host games and it just isnt the same feel.. Plus they struggle immensly on proper turf... Just not completly convinced personal oppionion...
