What’s wrong with the pitch at Wembley stadium? A question on the mouths and typing fingers of football pundits and forum dwellers alike. It’s also a concern of many Sports Engineers, having recently attended a conference on sport surfaces I thought it was appropriate to write a few words on the recent revelations on the condition of the Wembley pitch. It was of no surprise to find that this was the main discussion point at the conference, with experts from all ranges of turf science from installation and maintenance to player-surface interactions.
