I disagree with that - sorry. Fair enough, time will tell. It’s pretty clear there is no long term damage though right? I mean the hybrid fibres are still in place. worst case is small patches would need re seeded, and if that’s the case - I’m sure it’s already been done.. anyway - that’s my last view on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboelite Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just now, Cruickshank for Scotland said: I am basing my opinion on the latest photos - if you enlarge them you will see bare patches all over the pitch where there is no grass - not yellow grass as some have said. As I said I do not believe the pitch will be back to the perfect condition it was in before the concert by the next game. That is my opinion - sorry if it does not toe the party line. Considering the original seeding pictures when there was NO grass on the original install what makes you think that patches wont recover in the same time period ?

I see what looks like bare patches. I also have full confidence in the ground staff to fix these issues. I've put grass seed in my back garden before and left it. It had grown within two weeks. These people are professionals, I have no doubt in my mind they can get the park looking lush and playing as it did before, by the next home game. They have everything they need at their disposal to do it and do it well. Why do you not have any confidence in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not just yellow or discoloured grass as many were alluding to on here - the grass had died in places all over the affected area of pitch and left sandy bare patches. Anyway as you say professionals are on the job so hopefully all will be back to “perfect” for the next game. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why must everything be doubted or disputed? If i can get grass seed for my garden which makes my garden lush in 2 weeks, why do people doubt professional groundsman cannot do the same?

stan Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I doubt the ground staff were pleased with the state the pitch was left in and the remedial work to fix it. Prof called it right before the damage occurred and he was mocked on here for saying so. It will be sorted eventually...I'm as doubtful as Cruicky that 2 weeks will be enough to do so.

stu Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Given we are still over 2 weeks away from the next home match, and looking at the latest pics are people still suggesting the pitch is ruined?

I'm sure it will, just pointing out that most people would not describe a pitch with Sandy bald patches as 'looking absolutely amazing, back to it's best'. I'm sure she has her reasons for the description, but is it accurate? No. People moan about the hyperbole on here about how bad the pitch/player/Levein is but are happy to use it in the other direction. It would be better if everyone just dealt in reality rather than making things up. Edited August 17, 2019 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobreath Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I was at Tynie last night and from where I was, I couldn’t see a problem with the pitch at all.
