losixxx, I meant I disagreed with the philosophy not the facts.
Just to give fuller explanation of where I'm coming from.
When I used to run East midlands regionals a few years back all the tracks were grass. They were all set up for the day, and nobody got more than a single 5 minute practice run on the day of the event. - The track was new for everybody and there was zero home track advantage.
Yes it is possible to attend other meetings on the astroturf at Coventry, but a permanent track will always give a home advantage. (For the record I'm a Coventry member as of last week.)
+ I think the grass is a lot better
