So I was watching some footage of premiership football from the 90s and the pitches were muddy and the players were muddy when getting up after tackling etc.
You watch professional football from decades earlier and the are even more muddy.
Now if you stick a match on, after an unbelievable wet winter and spring, the pitches at St James’s, Anfield, old Trafford are immaculate and the players walk off looking like they don’t even need to wash thier kits.
What’s changed?

Most elite level pitches are actually a hybrid of real and artificial grass. The artificial fibres allow the natural grass roots to intertwine, providing more support and making them more durable to wear.
This, plus better cover, maintenance and drainage means pitches are in much better condition
