After reading the other thread about jogging every night on hard ground can screw with your joints, how healthy is it to play a lot of football on harder ground as opposed to grass. I currently play quite a lot on hard ground and I was wondering if I was doing any long lasting damage on my joints?

I'd have to guess that it would be more stressfull on your joints to play on anything but grass. Certainly the old style astro-turf was considerably firmer than grass.
Our 5 a side centre had the new gen astro-turf installed a year or so ago, takes a bit of getting used to but it is closer to a normal playing surface.

Hate ***** like you. Slice me once with them blades/mouldies and you're getting laid out.

Just try it bee-hatch!
I prefer them to my astro turf boots, a lot more comfy and I don't like changing my footwear too often as it's weird changing from weekdays to Sunday matches.
Would love to.
Would be awesome to get an OcUK game going at the JJB or something. Just hope you're not the biggest player on the team, cos if you are you're my first target. Would prefer it if they didn't at our place, but since the new turf was installed (Which is pretty much fake grass now) they relaxed the rules. Now every other fool is wearing them.They don't allow that on the surfaces I play on
Would love to.
Well I'm about 6"4 so the chances are high
That will do for me.Well I'm about 6"4 so the chances are high
ha ha6.4 inches?
Anyway, the bigger they are...
I wear molded studs and have done for about 2 years. I was the first time last week I actually did any damage with them, that was on my friend too so they cant be that bad. I find the grip they give surpasses and astro's I have used.
