Question How hard is it to pull a goal?
I tried pulling the goals at kickoff @ Manchester, and those goals were really hard to pull... Even when it was just one goal. I had to set up my position, legs pointing forward, back bending backward, and really try hard to pull one...

THEN, I went back to GRT and visit, and saw a custom goal they built, and pull on that, and it was considerably easier... Then I started IMing people, and people who went to manchester kickoff said the goals were hard to to move around, and people who went to San Jose kickoff said the goals aren't that hard to pull...

So, I am wondering if teams can do me (and to everyone) a favor, and use one of those spring scale, or a force meter, and figure out how much force it take to pull a goal. Two number would be nice: the force it take to get a 0 velocity goal moving, and the force it take to keep a goal moving...

Thanks!
