I experienced Consett's synthetic pitch the other week - they seem to be the hosts for a few games at all sorts of levels/ages/sexes for kids football on a Saturday morning.
Quite impressed, but the eldest was picking bits of rubber out of all sorts of orifices' for days!
Keep missing your other question.
Unless it is a Gateshead v Blyth game (or the other way round at Croft Park), I can't see why the polis should be too bothered.
As long as controls can be put into place, it should be safe enough.
There isn't the rivalry or history that would possibly warrant too many safety concerns.
