Neil Ardley complained about the pitch recently one of their players got injured on itExcuse me, can you quote more than one winging manager to support your statement? Are you able to elaborate your statement, or, is it your normal OTT borax?
What exactly is the issue with the pitch? Is it deceptively uneven? Is the grass too long? Is the upper surface too loose, causing players to lose footing or slip easily?
Looking at the pictures on the website, the other question I have is: How come you can see the pitch markings under the top surface?
That must be some strong paint they use.

It is possible that the FA have acted following the Wimbledon game if they made a formal complaint to the FA.
Rules are clear .Maybe Scally's hand has been forced by the FA and it is not by choice he is having it replaced. Perhaps we could have gone for a cheaper fix but then be faced by another problem in the not too distant future. This seems more likely.
"Clubs must take all reasonable precautions to keep their grounds in a playable condition.
All matches shall be played on pitches deemed suitable by the Management Committee".
Have you seen the state of some Sunday league pitches, that doesn't seem to cause the players injuries and some of those pitches have been laid for 10s of years.
