Rmc, already started a thread on this in the Drop Box area.

But very interesting to know what Dan Tapster is thinking about this, let's hope it comes to our screens.

I used to play football and I can't say for throwing the ball, but in freezing conditions, catching a somewhat deflated ball rather than a fully inflated one isn't as hard on the hands. I've broken fingers trying to catch fully inflated balls in freezing conditions more times than I care to remember. A deflated ball is much softer, so the risk of injury is lower.
