Boris5115 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Pitch looks a mess in areas tonight. I thought these pitches are supposed to be more robust. Or is it poor maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it poor maintenance. It was the subject of discussion when we got into the ground just before kick off. I was trying to think if something had been held on the park since the last time I was at Tynecastle which had damaged the surface again.

Boris5115 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Scotland u21 game and two Women's football games since last home game I'm sure. Either two many games or poor maintenance.

The women’s team were commenting on how bumpy it is and very difficult to keep your footing on it , spoke to one of the glasgow city coaches and he was disappointed in it as well . It certainly doesn’t look like a £1m pitch . Worth someone asking about it at the AGM ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only be poor maintenance or a possible parasite disease in the soil. Celtic had this problem last season with their Hybrid surface if I remember correctly.

CAI Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) The pitch has always had massive issues with drainage. I grew up watching Neil McCann somehow produce miracles on the wing when both sides of the pitch were a dogshit brown colour and there was bumps and divots all over the place. Probably saw the pitch get replaced at least twice in a season. The turf would be left outside the front gates of Tynecastle High School. No sooner had they replaced the turf the problem would return. Edited December 4, 2019 by CAI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambojamie91 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Looks almost as bad as it was last year, don’t understand the need for us to water it constantly either.
