Athletic have voted against a Football League proposal to allow the use of artificial pitches in League One and League Two next season.

Lee Johnson said, “As a player, would I want to play on an artificial surface? Absolutely not. As a manager, do I want it? No, not really. I don’t think the 4G is quite right yet as it doesn’t quite replicate grass.”
