kila Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Wasn't great to be honest, thought it would be a bit better than that. Players did well on it, and certainly not the reason Hearts couldn't score. It'll be fine for the Hamilton game though, 3 weeks to reseed/overseed all that half plenty time. Might have a new manager by too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 And to think there where some on here having a pop at people for saying the pitch was a shambles 😂😂😂😂. This place is embarrassing. Anything slightly negative towards the club and the defenders of the clubs good name are out in force. The decision to have a concert the week before the opening game of the season was a joke, a proper silly idea. The idea it’s self is great and something the club should be doing, but not a week before the first game on it. Let’s just hope its not an expensive mistake.

mscjambo Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 No getting away the pitch never helped that shambles today. But it symptomatic of the club at this minute in time, the football department is playing second fiddle to other ventures. Yes be a successful business but the primary business is being a successful football Club and that's been somewhat lost. The pitch wasn't awful but at times it was certainly far from perfect in the damaged half... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 The pitch looked like two pitches. One half like Wembley, the other like most other Scottish league sides. Played absolutely fine, tho. Be perfect in a week as the grass will go greener and grow back. It's good for that, grass is. We'll known for it, I believe.
