I assume they have decided to install a 4G pitch because it is the next generation of artificial pitch.

A 4G pitch does not include the rubber crumb that is present in 3G pitches & which gives the playing surface its stability.

3G pitches are FIFA approved & have the necessary accreditation (in use).

4G pitches haven't been around long enough to assess how they perform in use & as yet are not accredited & are not currently FIFA approved...that's not saying that they will not eventually receive FIFA approval.

The FA's 3G Pitch Register is the approval document.

A 4G pitch at The Oval will provide a superb playing surface for Community use, I am assuming 24/7 until 10.30pm at night.
