I'll stick with your comments for now- not that I'm "angry", just baffled.
In case you hadn't noticed, the financing and demographics of football have changed out of all recognition since the late 80s. It's precisely *because* of the "distribution of fat wads of cash" and the fact that little if any comes to the lower reaches and non league scene, that things like 3 and 4G have become a near-necessity for small clubs.
The days of 25,000 turning up to watch Walton & Hersham v HMS Victory, or Pollok v St. Roch's, are long gone, and they are not coming back. Small clubs exist on the margins of the communities whose name they carry. Developments such as these are a crucial building block not only in ensuring the financial survival of these clubs- but in actually getting themselves back from the margins to the centre of the place where they play, by providing a multi use stadium that generates revenue beyond matchday.
In Scotland, clubs like Stenhousemuir and Annan Athletic are really showing how it can be done with their artifical surfaces, with Stenny probably being the best run part time club in the country now. A club like Maidstone- coming back from a near death experience caused by boardroom hubris and bad management- should be encouraged in developing these facilities, not have all their hard work thrown back in their face.
I would respect your different viewpoint if it were based on anything more tangible than "I want" and "I hate" and your subjective definition of "character", whatever that's meant to mean - exactly the kind of vacuous consumerist pish which is the engine of the "New football" that you have appeared to despise, elsewhere.
I am interested in clubs surviving and kicking off at 3 every Saturday during a season. I really don't care what surface they play on.
