You mean they didn't give you the answer "we wont be blackmailed by Maidstone United" or "It is in my opinion not the way to do business?"
Having had a quick check on tomorrows opponents forum I noticed a "3G debate" thread and what is quite common is a couple of anti 3G posters who are so anti, they start writing quite ridiculous things, on the Enfield forum is someone ironically named "Voice of Reason", and to give you an idea, here are some of his reasonable arguments......
I find the anti-football I have seen not to be to my taste, but accept that some will be defensive of it out of club loyalty
Finding solutions that preserve the integrity of proper football might take some thought and investment
What is almost as dreadful as the anti football on these pitches is the attitude of those in favour of them. If you point out, quite reasonably, the loss of the need to adapt when playing on anti football pitches, you get called a dinosaur and worse. If you suggest that these pitches offer an unfair familiarity advantage to the home team, more name calling exists. If you wonder how many league games Maidstone have lost at home this season, the answer is not a subjective one. It is all very well playing the revenue card, but if people like watching proper football, rather than tippy tap, they will go elsewhere to do so.
Proper football involves different skills to tippy tap. If people prefer the latter, that is their choice, but trying to impose it on those who don't like it or want it is arrogant...in my opinion at least.
they play on a surface that is anti football
Well it might make financial sense to sell your soul/ grandmother too, it doesn't necessarily make it right, though.
If you are so desperate to watch this kind of stuff, the opportunity is there for you to do so, You might need to get a victim mentality if you choose the likes of Maidstone, but you have a choice.
...reasoned argument doesn't go down well with the synthetic sycophants!
What is a bit rich is apologists for tippy tap pitches seizing on the effects of an exceptionally wet period for their own argument's ends.
But life and football are not all about money to some people (someone replied But clubs survival IS all about money)
Awesome stuff, to the extent that another poster actually (genuinely) questioned if Voice of Reason was real !
