Sad in my opinion. No reason why Christy Park can't be like Marconi or Wembley... a perfect pitch no matter the rain! They can control the access to the pitch, not getting kicked up by kids after school and it doesn't have the trees or buildings putting it in shade (it isn't a local park like other GHFA grounds). With the money they are spending on astro they could have dug it up put in the sand and drainage and irrigation and best turf and had plenty of change left over!!! Playing on grass that is like carpet is always better than astro... it is pure. Yes I do understand that the maintenance costs going forward for astro is minimal compared to grass, but still sad.
