Where did these figures come from? A similar list I saw last year (unfortunately , I don't know the source !) had very different figures in some instances, e.g Hamilton on higher average salaries than Livingston, St Mirren and Motherwell.

Dunnit!

Previous two home games had around 130 and 160, although the latter was against Ardrossan, who brought a few more supporters than most teams in this league. Would say that Hill still have higher home crowds than most in this league, despite being in the bottom half of the league.

Carluke have a very small support at home games, and even fewer at away games! They were by far the better team , and fully deserved to win, although Maryhill were without their two main strikers. Estimated attendance was around 110. Full match report at Maryhill FC Facebook page.

Why not go for a compromise and have 2.30pm kick offs, and then everybody would be happy(?)

Excellent post, and sums up the situation perfectly in my view. Whenever there is an injury on an artificial surface, we never hear the end of it, but injuries on grass pitches get no such comments.

Shettleston, Ardrossan and Lesmahagow would be my predictions for promotion. On form,Lanark are a match for anyone, but seem too inconsistent.

A pretty good start yesterday, winning 7-4 against Bellshill. A truly amazing game. Full match report on Maryhill facebook page.

Exactly. Thanks. Wasn't at the game today, but will accept general view that he didn't play well. Any time I have seen him he has been impressive (for first team and reserves), and he has played several times at international level, so can't be that bad! As has been stated, he is 17. He will have bad games - it happens!

Guessing that it must have been something he said - abusive language?

I think that this sums up the situation pretty well. They even play rugby on them now! Won't be able to prove this as I won't be here (!), but I reckon that in about 30 years max, most if not all football matches will be played on artificial surfaces, and folk will look back in disbelief that grass pitches were ever used, and that games could be cancelled because of rain.
