ex-german exile Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Spoke to a Hurlford commitee man yesterday who works at the park on a DAILY BASIS and he was telling me the problem is the drainage system inside Blair Park is full of sand due to the amount of sand spread on the playing surface over the past 2or3 seasons ,however maybe he was fibbing [emoji4] I was told that the drains were cleared in the close season of all sand that caused us problems last season. Of course, if we've been pouring sand down since .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoabbyRab Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I would have to say guys your wrong, there is no issue with too much sand on the playing surface, we are aware of a lengthy drain that is blocked and like a Boars pr**k this needs to be replaced, other areas are in need of new drains also, when water does drain from the park it obviously has to go somewhere but unfortunately the drain outside of park is inoperative so water just lies where it is. Without going into detail in the close season plans are afoot. Last year the park was subsoiled in an attempt at sorting out the problem but hasn't obviously been as successful as hoped.

ex-german exile Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 So with steady rain forecast for Friday and Saturday will the the pitch cope? Or is it another afternoon watching the egg chasers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoabbyRab Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Egg chasers I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Is the park playable at the minute? Is it even recovering during the week enough when it has been dry to make it playable, or is it really bad that even if a few dry days the game would still be in doubt?

fan of the juniors Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Given the forecast I expect both this & the Arthurlie v Beith game to be off . Just as I predicted a week or so ago when folk were moaning about the Beith v Hurlford game being the only fixture scheduled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My info is all second hand but my understanding from the texts I've had is that it takes the pitch a few days to dry out so would be playable now. But as heavy rain is forecast it is unlikely to be on tomorrow. Looks like another day watching the egg chasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglelok Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Will you be leaving the pitch as long as possible to see how it's coping with the rain or will decision about game be made early like last Saturday and calling game off in Friday night.

Dindeleux Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 With the rain down here in the last 24 hours I doubt the park will be playable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 No chance of this game being on . In fact I would doubt that pitch will be playable next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYB Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Heard a wee rumour United are getting the pitch sorted at long last a mob coming from down South that specialise in drainage will be carrying out a weeks worth of work ASAP £30k not cheap but Defoe the right thing to do.

ex-german exile Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Surely hurl£ord are no going to fork out On sorting a council drain. That would be daft ???? No. It's just a rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 If the proper work that is required is to be done ( and I think it will be ) then it will be at the end of the season .

The Bluebells Are Blue Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Any word of the game this Saturday 25th? Buffs are supposed to be playing at Hurlford in the Ayrshire cup,but I've heard we're tryin' to get the match changed, to Hurlford coming to Kilwinning,for the re-arranged league match.

BoabbyRab Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Love reading all the conjecture, especially when knowing exactly what is going to happen and costs. BTW there are some grains of truth in the rumours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
