Are we sure it's not our pitch?

[Discodoktor]

It just feels like we have had so many injuries at the Amex.

Is our pitch a factor in some of these injuries?

Didn't all the recent injuries happen away from home?!

Bong?

But no, I don't think it is our pitch that is contributing to injuries.

Cms
Buckley
Hoskins

I'm sure there are more?

Just a thought that has crossed my mind.

CMS was at Bristol City

It does surprise me how many people slip up. The pitch being watered seems very soft.I wonder if players have enough stud.

They were more likely the old training ground. We have a precise replica of The Amex pitch at Lancing now and the only bad injury that's happened at home games is Bong. You also have so many pitches at Lancing that we can probably get one to mimic an up coming away game if we so chose. Injuries to professional sportsmen happen, it's just a fact of life.

Even our first league game took out sharpe. Though I do suspect that was more Dunk than pitch.

It's just a thought and I'm surprised no one else has wondered it.

CMS was at Bristol City

and Buckley has hamstrings made of damp tissue paper.

What about Stephens and Crofts last year.

Stephens was nothing to do with the pitch, it was a bad tackle from behind.

Yes, the chap in front of me in the family stand is always banging on about that. I think he (and you) have a point.

I'm not sure Hoskins can be counted, he's had injury issues through his career rather than just at the AMEX.

Crofts last season happened at Watford

Was always my suspicion. The pitches as Sussex were never going to be amazing.

 

[TonyW]

Have wondered this for a while.
Seems above average I think for serious injuries.
Didn't Murray do his there too?

No - not his big one, he did that in the first leg at Selhurst. One of the MANY things that gall me about that whole episode is the fact that we returned from their place with a 0-0 draw and knowing FFS would be missing.

Crofts was at Watford, it was the season before in the FA cup which was at home

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Dicker broke his leg at the Amex.
