I read in the non League paper yesterday that if they win promotion ,they are going to cover the plastic pitch and will lay a bona Fida pitch on the top and if they come baack down again they can then revert back to plastic the none League paper is a mine of information comes out Sunday / Monday .

Cant see grass being laid over a plastic pitch .Surely it would be dead within weeks .Probably end up looking like the Rochdale pitch the other night in the FA cup

Did I read the Sutton pitch article correctly .if Sutton don’t want to go up then the 23rd place club stays in League 2so only 1gets promoted from the NL that can’t be right can it

And if someone gets a reprieve in League Two because Sutton can't get promoted (if that's how it's going to pan out), then I find that disrespectful, on Sutton's behalf, towards other teams who genuinely want promotion and are willing to respect the rules. They should come clean on their intentions, stop playing the victim and "person" up (got to be careful in the current climate!). I can see the justification in the punishment of relegation to the National League South, for depriving others of their opportunity for promotion; makes a mockery of them being successful in the National League if they've no intention of converting to grass or want to challenge the rules, particularly if they've already agreed to do it. Of course, they may be compliant if it comes to it which will make it a mute debate. Anyway, hope Barrow and others stuff them to make it a redundant debate!!

I doubt Bromley's ground would pass muster for the FL!

I am no expert but, would doubt the feasibility of laying a grass pitch on top, as their would be too many drainage problems.
Unless of course, that you could drill drainage holes through the plastic?

No issue at all in doing it, The 4G drains through anyway, they just build a frame on top and build up the layers. Putting temporary pitches in was done a lot for USA 94.
Ultimatley we can’t be hoping Sutton won’t go up, absolute bailed on that if they win the league or playoffs they will
take their place, they are not going to take relegation and risk the clubs future.
