We use the same crumb as I use on my apple crumble, and I'm bouncing with health!

Does our new pitch have the rubber crumb? - you don't see it 'splash' up when the ball bounces on it, or during a sliding tackle for example, as was very obvious with the old surface It has a far more subtle crumb. Sourced only from organic fair-trade farms where the crumbs are individually hand-picked only at full moon, and gently rolled between the thighs of nubile virgins for exactly 2 hours and 32 minutes. The pitch has been tainted by the flesh of NWS? No wonder we hardly win at home!

I keep turning up and no game is on. I ain't standing around and waiting though because Sittingbourne is too cold...

Read between the lines and what they are basically saying is you can't use any old rubber. This appears to be a problem (well known) with the petrochemicals that used to be in contact with the rubber, not the rubber itself You don't even need to read between the lines. The article makes it pretty clear: 'The question relates to the kind of tyres or rubber products being recycled and the FA is unequivocal that its rubber crumb meets the European Union standards previously ignored in Holland. The Zembla investigation discovered that some of the rubber crumb used in pitches in Holland had come from rubber pipes used in the petrochemical industry. The question remains: how does anyone track the specific history of a mass recycled waste product?" This is an issue local to Holland and the apparently reckless disregard for Eu guidelines on safe rubber crumb. Good news for 3G in England then, I mean it's not as if EU guidelines are going to be disregarded anytime soon......

Just another article that digs up the old Dutch chestnut, as mentioned in my previous comment on this thread some months ago. The Daily Mail have, predictably, chosen to completely ignore the fact the Dutch scandal arose due to a rogue company using an illegal rubber source. But as the old saying goes, don't let facts get in the way of a good story. 3G pitches won't be banned - there is too much at stake. If the goalposts are moved as regards safety, the manufacturers will find a way of altering the product accordingly.
