AlimOzturk Posted May 9, 2018 Heard the BT commentators have pop at us for spending money on a new Pitch rather than invest it in the squad. The mentioned that pitch looked in good shape and today it certainly did. However considering the mud pit it becomes in the winter this is incredibly important. . I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing The surface is fine. The fact it's sitting on top of a layer of earth that turns into brown custard when it rains because the sub-base has turned into concrete and the drains don't work anymore is the problem. So the whole lot needs replaced. Everybody who isn't a brain-dead moron knows this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph Posted May 9, 2018 Really glad we’re putting the cash up for this as the pitch was getting beyond a joke. Its fine when teams like Celtic come and struggle on it but it’s hindering us too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cade Posted May 10, 2018 New stand. Good for 30+ years New pitch. Good for 20+ years Good to get these basic infrastructure projects done so every penny in the next 20-30 years can go on the playing squad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It definitely plays better with the grass being a little bit longer, but the club are doing the right thing by digging it up and installing the hybrid pitch.

John Findlay Posted May 10, 2018 My laddie had the opportunity to train on the pitch at Murrayfield last Thursday evening. As is well documented it is a hybrid pitch. I got speaking to their head groundsman. This is what he said. The Murrayfield pitch is 97% grass and only 3% synthetic which is the thread that knits the roots of the grass together 8 inches below the surface. This is done by a machine which for Murrayfield could do the length of the pitch to a width of 3 metres in approximately 10 hours. So if it was just a case of laying a hybrid pitch, Tynecastle would be done and dusted in a fortnight. It's the re-doing of the undersoil heating and the Base below the hybrid pitch that is the time consuming bit. I have to say the Murrayfield head groundsman thought it would be touch and go to be ready for mid July. Once again I think we will be at the mercy of the Scottish summer weather. Here is hoping it's a good summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highlandjambo3 Posted May 12, 2018 We will get no positive pr on this at all, wonder what the first weegia negative spin will be: 1. Cost V’s player budget or... 2. It won’t be ready in time. I guarantee you next season visiting teams who get horsed by us will start to complain about the pitch feeling “not quite right”. I remember when it was announced that the new stand was behind schedule, Currie and his fellow mutants were filming for the evenings news and, the camera was locked firmly on the last wee unfinished bit of the stand down by the roseburn. The story line lasted about a minute and had workmen in the background busying away.......at no point did the camera pan left to see the 99% that was completed...................that lot boil my piss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
