Vlad Magic Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Now about supporting Levein which for the record I would like to point out is an inaccuracy on your part. Show me where, and I quote “says a guy who supported levein for about a year too long, and all the dross he has lumbered us with”. Whilst you look for that perhaps also have a think about moaning about the height of the dug out? Looks a little short to me? The lighting in the toilets? Could be a better shade of yellow? Or possibly even the quality of air passing over the new stand? I think we should install fans (excuse the pun) to blow fresh air in on match days.

Olly Lee Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 It's incredible that some people would think that the quality (or lack thereof) of the playing surface would have no effect on the type of football we are able to play. Even more staggering still, the fact that we recently invested a LOT of money into upgrading said playing surface is deemed irrelevant... You couldn't make it up!

Vlad Magic Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I think we should invite Steve Gerrard over and have a slip off. Ask him to compare his famous slip V the 2 players who had the audacity to slip in a game of football on a wet pitch in December. Marks out of 10 and all that.

For a club like ours to spend 1million on a pitch is massive and I myself thought it would be a good investment going forward but clearly something is wrong with it. Looking at all other hybrid pitches on match of the day they all look perfect, ours looks ruined. I really hope something can be done as we shouldn’t be shelling out more money to rectify it.

Super T Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This threads showing up a few folk! Unless that pitch is diseased from something that could not be mitigated for then attempting to defend it is folly. Nearly £2m has been spent on that pitch since we came out of admin and it's playing as bad as back then. Like as with most club expenditure over the last few years some serious questions need asked of those who're meant to be managing such.

No one from the club has confirmed that the pitch is diseased so far. There is no denying that it's in a terrible state and that unless we are told otherwise it can only be down to poor maintenance of which is totally unacceptable given the money spent on it. I cannot believe that some people on here think its OK and playing fine. Our new manager has no chance of changing our style of play on that surface. Looks like more lump up the park for a while to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroonblood22 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) One Million Pounds FFS! For a club of our size and income people are quite right to be questioning this issue. The pitch is an absolute disgrace and only adds to the frustration and anger from the fans at the moment. Whether it's due to ground staff, overuse or quite frankly anything else, there has to be some accountability for why it's in this state. Every other natural pitch in the league is in better condition than ours right now. Yes it's the least of our problems, but that doesn't mean it should be exempt from scrutiny just because we're shite! It's hardly going to help on the footballing front if players are slipping and the ball bobbles all over the ****ing shop! IMO, a lack of accountability is what has led us to where we are on the footballing side, so aye, looking for answers is more than justified!
