Apparently if a conference team with a 3G pitch finishes in a promotion place will not be able to get promotion and the teams at bottom of League Two will be reprieved.
There are a number of teams at top end of conference this season with 3G pitches.
It would just be our luck for the spireites getting a reprieve

Yes, they could, be the qualifying date is 31st March 2018

So any team in Conference National with a 3G pitch have absolutely no ambition of playing in the Football League, well for that season at least.

However the higher you go then the facilities are better and (as with us soon at Woburn) most have a 3G all weather pitch to train on at their training ground if need be.
The technological improvement and investment in stadium grass pitches in general is light years ahead of the days of beaches like the Baseball Ground nowdays. There are a few exceptions granted but in general most pitches at league level last well all year.

I don't agree. Modern 3g pitches are excellent and widely used in much higher Leagues than ours across Europe. What they provide is a surface that can be used all year round, all day, every day. I believe League 1 and 2 clubs should be allowed them if they want and then if promoted to the Championship then replace it within a year.
