Maybe like a massive set of blinds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull's-eye Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Surprised nobody's noticed the pitch lines look very faded, when the ref does his pre-match inspection there's no way he'll pass that fit to play.

kila Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 12 hours ago, DarioHMFC said: I seriously hope one of our next infrastructure projects is to replace the seats in the rest of the stadium. In my opinion the seats in the other 3 stands bring down a fantastic looking stadium. No doubt you’ll have people complain we’re missing out on signings because of the cost though. They can just re-colour them instead of replacing them, like this: https://www.seatrenew.com/services-to-restore-maintain-stadium-seats Oh, and while they are at it painting things maroon, they should paint the stand walls too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a miracle but the Club had to hire in additional expensive heat lamps, burn a volume of extra electricity and spend money on overtime to get the pitch back into decent condition.

DETTY29 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The ground sraff are focusing more on the Gorgie half of the pitch rather than the Roseburn side now. The Roseburn half gets far more natural sunlight so needs less attention generally. This is suggesting the Roseburn end is fine now. I'm not so sure we will be doing this again unless something went dramatically wrong that can be fixed. It was for one game but, Got lucky with first league game away from home. Got lucky with LC tie away from home (Personally I far prefer 1st league and all cup ties at home) Loss of goodwill from many fans Even when it was clear pitch was recovering just fine, still folk scream ruined forever. Can't wait till we decline Lee McGregor's world title request though....and the same folk losing their shit about this, lose their shit about that. Football fans are no ordinary customer.
