The return of artificial pitches to the Football League has been backed by club chairmen in League One and Two, reports BBC Sport. At a meeting on Thursday they gave a strong indication they would vote in favour of permitting 3G ("third generation") surfaces from next season.
They will take a formal vote in November.
Artificial surfaces were banned from English professional football in 1995 over issues with ball roll and bounce and fears over long-term injuries.
