As I understand it, Ted Stocker's plan for Liberty Way was to have a grass pitch in the Main Stadium & a three-quarter size artificial grass pitch outside of the Main Stadium, for community use.
We ended up with a grass pitch, suitable for lower EFL football, which JG maintained each close season, using Merrick Services.
A three-quarter size standard community pitch would be a lot cheaper than a full size pitch, because of a significantly reduced plan area.
Also, a grass pitch is far cheaper than an artificial pitch & would not prevent the Boro from progressing upwards through the Pyramid.
The FIFA artificial pitch specifications are applied internationally & operate world wide.
They are not currently permitted for use in the Premier League & the EFL but they are used extensively in countries with very harsh Winters.
Chelsea had concerns recently about playing on Djurgarden's artificial pitch.
