See on the Falkirk OS that they're about to lay an artifical pitch which will be ready for the new season kicking off.

Is this the way that most teams will be heading in the near future? I know a lot of the lower league clubs already have it in place. Less chance of games being called off when the cold snap hits aswell as a pitch that can be rented out virtually 24/7 so a real revenue generator.
No idea what sort of cost you're looking at initially (or how long it would take to make that money back through hiring it out) but surely we'll be seeing this happening more regularly? we've got the fieldturf behind the East Stand but it's in poor condition and probably needs replaced - I wonder if our board have thought about installing an artificial 'main pitch'?
