Can happen easily, even with grass pitches....
Only takes skin to break and then bleed leading to cross-infection from grass, mud or sand.
Add in a bit of sweat and/or water and bingo!
There is your infection risk/infection.

PS - No charge today to fellow posters for my healthcare bulletin.

Not saying that it isn't a possibility, just that the infections and antibiotics seem to be only a Catalan thing aside from the player IWTID knows of. McNamara has lifted the lid so we should see th flood gates opened with complaints from all whoo have played on it without feeling the pressure of been singled out.

Carter by his own admission has said the old pitch wasn’t in great nick because of under investment. He admitted cutting the spending budget on it and as such it ultimately ended up cutting up more in winter. So they used extra sand on it to dry it out which meant in summer it was harder than it should be. It could have easily been remedied with extra money spent on it but we have now gone for the hope of the hybrid cash cow.

It's a myth that we had one of the best pitches in SL. MC and the players are quite open about how bad it's been.

Er, I was speaking in "general terms" which do happen - on all surfaces - and not what Moaning Mc was on about.

I think what you mean is the 'best looking' playing surface, the pitch at most times was like concrete, and definately not the best in regards to underfoot

I don't think it'd necessarily be a bad thing if the game was postponed.
