Yeah... sure... Depends how many brown envelopes you give them for their certification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fucking state that pitch isn't it? I'd be embarrassed if I supported a team which had that at home. What the hell must players think when they're taken for a tour before signing?

For a little club like that to have such a great record of trophies in their history is up with the best of provisional clubs, so best of luck to them, apart from when they play us, of course.

Could also have been issues with underground streams, etc.. But I don't really care anyway. Like I said, the point was that they managed to figure out and fix the problem without having to resort to an all weather pitch... They reason why it kept flooding isn't really relevant, not now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... sure... Is that bald patches or puddles? Or both? The local artificial 5 a side pitches near where I live have been down for must be over 15yr now and are in a better state than that monstrosity.

That savings to be had by having a plastic pitch must be upwards of £100,000/year. That's a couple of players for these teams and could be the difference between relegation. When they brought the 10,000 seaf rule down to 6000 seats if Killie or Hamilton didn't change to a plastic pitch then those teams would struggle to keep up with the likes of St Mirren. Can't blame the clubs, as usual, it's the clowns that run our game who are responsible for it. That rule fucked Falkirk 1rst season brought in, Aberdeen stayed up and Falkirk were not promoted. Does people remember that?? Fair to say Falkirk came up again and had built new stadium by then, but were they are now.. very unfair imo.. SFA have bee clowns from around 1995 with some if the rules Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... sure... Our National Stadium up here in the Faroes has an artificial pitch.. it looks nothing like that one. I have been on it several times.. it feels very much like a real grass pitch, actually. Its very high quality. The reason for it being plastic is simple.. we had grass for years and its simply not possible to maintain it properly.. it was absolutely horrific. Our weather is just too pish.
