naegoodinthedark Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I’ve heard today that replay tickets will be £10 adults and £5 concessions with both clubs happy that this game is bonus income (not sure if game is on tv yet). That’s excellent pricing. Imagine how many fans Hearts would bring at those prices. Or any prices for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the groundsmans fault. Is he responsible for every other top flight pitch that looks shit? Milne needs to put some cash up and get a proper pitch if we want to compete. Strike that - he couldn't be arsed building a training complex when Ebbe asked, and every other manager after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milne needs to put some cash up and get a proper pitch if we want to compete. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/958207/aberdeen-pitch-europa-league-qualifiers/ We asked to play the last two home games away from home last season for this purpose. So the club did invest in a new pitch in the summer? .....or did we just re-lay a new version of the last bad one, which makes you wonder if the groundsman could have offered better advice on a pitch that copes with a Scottish winter.

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Pitch looked OK up until the end of December. Then we came back after the winter break, and f*ck me it looks like we spent a month planting the harvest on it. It's horrific....almost as bad as it was about 4 years ago. I'd rather have a plastic pitch than something that's absolutely impossible to play football on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs used to make about 80K each out of these from Sky Sports, so presumably we gain even more from complying with UEFA's rules , which sound like restraint of trade violations in any other guise.

They demoted Head Groundsman at the end of least season and then appointed someone that was at a golf club - they are going to have to look into this as in 80's/90's we used to have the best pitch. I do wonder if they train on it when they can't get training facilities as its really poor for the last 5 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record on Kilmarnock's plastic pitch is good with a few big wins in there - and we smashed Falkirk 5-0 on theirs on the way to our LC win. However, our record on Hamilton's is woeful. Think a bit of moisture on the surface helps good footballers zip the ball around - if it's bone dry it suits the hammer throwers more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 The no televised football on a champions league night rule doesn’t exist anymore. Quite sad that sky haven’t picked this up as they have nothing on that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
