A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If you're spending 6 figures the key is what the independent experts say. We must only have 6 or 7 games left on it this season so if we can get it laid now it might actually be better than laying it at the end of the season as it has 3 extra months to bed in ahead of the start of next season, albeit with 7x 90 minute football matches played on it. It's not as though it could be any worse. The curiosity is how did it get so bad having been laid only 2 years ago and how do we avoid that happening again.

I'm sure I read that while the grass has been relaid numerous times, the soil has been there for about 20 years. So they need to replace all of that apparently.

Jambof3tornado Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If the cost of slipping from 4th to 6th is less than the relaying costs then it may as well wait til the summer.

I am fairly certain the pitch will have to be ripped up in the summer regardless. The building of the main stand will no doubt result in heavy machinery having to be driven across / operated on the pitch. There is also talk of a hybrid being laid in the summer. Don't think we would have enough time to lay a hybrid in a week and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new main stand works will mean machinery etc on the pitch, so it'll need relaid in some form again. If we beat Hibs, it'll be 7 home games left. Probably around ?25k a game for the new pitch! Hampden's pitch got relaid for last season's Scottish cup semis just 5 days before, though it was in spring and settled well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borders Jambo Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Pitch was awful today. Any time we tried to play football the pitch was detrimental. Only thing it does is give a massive advantage to non football teams like ICT or the vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 With spring around the corner hopefully the roots will become active and bed down better. If the hybrid stories are true it seems a waste to spend on a short term surface but the football is a bit grim and the surface could mean us missing Europe with a loss of revenue so maybe it would pay for itself.

Pistol1874 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Pitch had a major bearing on our failure to win today. The bit Tremarco was standing on when he scored was so fragile we couldn't risk having anyone near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing it does is give a massive advantage to non football teams like ICT or the vermin. Nailed it. Two home games, two sides who wanna play long balls, two sides happy to leave with draws, us disappointed. Shows which side wants the ball on the deck. We where poor today but then so would any team when you aren't playing to your strengths. If we have the opportunity to rip it up now, do it now.

MoncurMacdonaldMercer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 we were 2nd or worse to a lot of 2nd balls as we were against hibs that's not the pitch fault though it obviously doesn't help in other ways Easter road will provide an answer or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7628mm Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Pitch wasn't the issue today. Saying that is looking for ******* excuses It wasn't that bad today I concur the problem today was the team and tactics. A problem that has been around ever since we a got back in the top league and we had nearly a complete new team out there today. Makes you kind of wonder what or where exactly or problems lie.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The pitch fannied the penalty or numerous shots that had no bobble. Poor excuse. This is a modern mindset.

Hendricks Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Pitch is a complete disgrace and in my opinion cost us wins in both the derby and today. And I never give the players easy excuses. Its clearly effecting our game big time. However why this was not dealt with during the whole month of January when we had no game is beyond me and now I would certainly be waiting for the summer and doing it properly.

I hope you are correct because assuming you are we should win the replay and also continue to improve our away form. a few home disappointments with a genuine solvable reason will then be easyish to accept until the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I think its now easy for the players to blame the pitch for below par performances. 2nd to a lot of balls and kept playing it out from the back even when it was clearly not working.

It was a staple attacking method of 10 or so years ago, no-one seems to do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootzilla Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It was bouncing about unpredictably at times - okay same for both teams - it was like playing with a rubber ball in certain areas. Also with the new stand will the pitch be widened at all? Just think a wider, truer pitch would suit what we're trying to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
