Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us. If you are having problems logging in, please try a different browser or platform, if problems persist then email support@rlfans.com

It doesn't really matter what the top layer is whether it be synthetic,grass or any combination of the two - the secret is in the drainage and the substrata
You can hav the most expensive Astroturf on the market but if the substrata isn't done correctly then you will end with a dogs dinner like the Millenium Stadium playing surface.
