If the game is off because the pitch then it's clearly not an all-weather pitch at all. It's a scandal that this state of a pitch is being used in what is supposed to be a professional league.

ShanksRFC 3,870 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's to heat up this afternoon a bit so fingers crossed it thaws out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 One of the alleged benefits of these pitches is that they remain playable all year round. If games are called off due to the pitch rather than surrounding area conditions then it makes a mockery of them being accepted rather than grass with undersoil heating. Seasonal average low temperatures should not result in pitches being unplayable in top flight football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree it's a joke our top flight has these pitches in place. Should be a requirement clubs in the top flight must have grass pitches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG5 11,154 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Early start for, coincidentally, Kilmarnock! Tried to set BT Sport to record, to be met with a message ‘awaiting scheduling information’ where it should have had our game details. Made me wonder if BT are hedging their bets on the game being on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunts should be demoted to the bottom tier of the league system imo. The whole idea of these pitches, if I remember correctly, were to avoid call offs and save clubs money.

I wonder what Brendan and Neil think of all this, in saying that I'm not sure Brendan can comment if he has complained about the piggery surface? It won't stop him right ebough.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Just get the fucking things banned. It's fucking criminal these are being allowed in top flight football.We are a fucking joke. So let's spend the next year talking on incompetent ref's welfare and making sure the Lemmon and scum fc get the result they want from it and fuck the playing surfaces which are irrelevant to the game. Them's the rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All weather pitch is a red herring and a load of crap, my sons football team has a great 4 g surface and if it’s freezing they can’t use it as the water in the pitch freezes Have Killie not had their pitch covered to keep the snow off it.

Amokachi 3,050 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Was always under the impression the clubs that got astro pitches were doing it as a source for income from hiring it out. Under the pretence that it’s an all weather pitch & games will never be called off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 At the start all the beggars were calling him 'Brendan' and I called him 'Rodgers' amongst other things. Now they are feeling the pressure most are calling him 'Rodgers' so I have mocked them for the change of tone and call him 'Brendan' now which they hate. Not thread related but had to just clarify that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t salt their pitch mate, knowing the club probably to do with the cost of it It was covered in snow as well which had frozen. If Killie can’t get their pitch ready for this game they should be bloody fined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
