Cardiac Rucksack Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I see. I didn't realise that. Its in a thread here Drylaw apparently its not on entering the league every club should have a function under soil heating system. Motherwell's simply doesnt work and the SPL have known about it since pre season. Apologies for the earlier statement. http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=96640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 They dont have a system to turn on. All SPL clubs are required to have working undersoil heating, but a problem at Rugby Park led to the postponement of Saturday's match. "We're obviously extremely disappointed that the pitch isn't fit for purpose," said an SPL spokesman. "We have rules in place with regards to clubs having undersoil heating to deal with weather like this and there will be an urgent and serious inquiry as to why the undersoil heating didn't do its job." If Kilmarnock are found to be in breach of SPL rules, they could face sanctions, which include the possibility of a fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there not some sort of Bye law down Killie way where the council have said they cant turn it on between certain times due to the noise it makes and complaints from local residents?

iaing Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 how long does it take for a top class ref sponsored by 20 / 20 opticians to look at a pitch????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure they have a track record for this. Didn't they receive a warning from the SFA a couple of seasons ago for having failed to turn on the heating on several occasions? Thats what rung a bell with me , iam sure they were warned about fecking about with their heating.Mind you if they were the ones on form and sitting in 3rd and we were playing crap do you think they would have pulled all the stops out to make sure it was on.Of course the above saying will look silly if the game is on but it would not surprise me.

Have no idea about Bye-laws etc, i was mainly pointing out that Working Undersoil heating is required as stated in the rules of the SPL. And as i stated on another thread i wasnt sure but thought fines were possible if clubs failed to keep the pitch's in a playable state and match's then called off due to negligence etc, this shows that fines can be given. SO motherwell should be fined if the game was to be called off today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonlegions Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I thouight there was meant to be fines in place for not using the undersoil heating or pitches that were not up to standard. And it was only in severe weather conditions where you escaped those fines. Or is that wrong? All SPL clubs are required to have working undersoil heating, but a problem at Rugby Park led to the postponement of Saturday's match. "We're obviously extremely disappointed that the pitch isn't fit for purpose," said an SPL spokesman. "We have rules in place with regards to clubs having undersoil heating to deal with weather like this and there will be an urgent and serious inquiry as to why the undersoil heating didn't do its job." If Kilmarnock are found to be in breach of SPL rules, they could face sanctions, which include the possibility of a fine. The same should be applied to Fir Park too.

I'm guessing there's not much chance of it being tomorrow? Maybe midweek. Or could even be after the new year. Murderwell got away with it last year because they used the excuse of Gretna sharing the ground so the pitch was overused, the year before that they were warned. This year they have no excuse and should be hit heavily for this disgrace. If they cant have a playable pitch in what lets be honest wasn't really that severe weather, then they should be pumped out the league until they can have a pitch that wont have games being called off each week. How will they cope when we do get a really bad spell of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Does anyone know if Hearts had a representative present ?

Regular John Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Kilmarnock I'll excuse as I'm sure they rarely have games postponed, but Motherwell should be ejected out the SPL for having such poor facilities. Too much money have been spent or wasted on ensuing teams had enough seats in their stadium when important things such as stadium draining facilities have been ignored.

MackaysCentreSpot Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Were Motherwell not warned last season if games were cancelled in the future then they would be punished? Frozen pitch - obviously did not have their USH on. So lets see if they are punished along with Kilmarnock. And if not other clubs should be asking why not.

magicTs Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Wonder what will happen about it being rearranged ? Given they can't even get it on for a 3pm game when the weather has been chilly but hardly horrendous what is the chances of a midweek 7.45 being Ok after the temperature has dropped a few degrees ? We will probably be hanging on at half 6 waiting for a decision. To**ers. We play them at Tynie midweek in the new year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Frozen pitch - obviously did not have their USH on. . If that is the reason the game is off they should be punished. I don't think we have had a real cold snap over the last couple of days, in fact it has benn quite 'mild'. You can understand if we had had a week of -5 tempatures but we have not, and is that not what undersoil heating is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
