18grantmc74 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: I sit near the corner we trainand warm up. You'd think you'd rotate the corner that players train at tbh. 20+ folk Litterally stamping about the same part of grass every time can't be good, the pitch is knackered before ko. The goals and keeper go there too. St Johnstone and Celtic fast feet were done under control room corner while the goal was at the wheatfield side. Hibs and Aberdeen they were switched over. Most clubs have a large area off they pitch that they can do these things and I’m in the middle of trying to come up with a plan for fast feet and that cause every club problems.

Phil Dunphy Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 3 hours ago, Groot said: what are you talking about? Is it Stendel’s fault the pitch is goosed? Levein had them on the pitch once or twice a week when he was in charge? Were the ground staff concerned then? Yes. They were. 3 hours ago, davemclaren said: The pitch didn’t look great before Stendel arrived so I imagine not. I’ve no idea if Levein did or not though the implication was he did it less. Personally I think it’s a good idea to do some training on the pitch otherwise it is little better than an away game on matchday. Did you offer them your lawnmower? This post, word for word, is absolute bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambogemz Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It's certainly in an horrendous condition. Surely the company involved in the installation will be working with the club to get to the problem and come up with a resolution? Its supposed to be technological wonder after all!!
