Braes_Bairn Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 On a slightly different subject, who is responsible for the Stadium upkeep? Some parts of the stadium and surround are a bloody disgrace. Are the club or the council responsible ?Varies. Main Stand building and surrounds are council responsibility. North/South Stands, and pitch facing and supporter areas are Club responsibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only caveat being the info came from Transfermarkt. The fact Raith couldn't find a goalscorer for shite is the reason. Not one of the strikers was inventive or has the brains to get into positions to get on the end of his crosses. They could they just decided to never play him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I fully agree with your point, the pitch is awful compared to what it was maybe 4/5 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not and can't see that happening. Paddy Martin is a back up keeper at very best. And holt couldn't get a game for Gretna when punted out on loan. A decent experienced keeper is an absolute must for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of the pitch would be written down every financial year and would be factored in when we installed a synthetic surface that every 5 years you replace it. Cost should be known as the original installation cost included subsurface preparation which would not be required when replaced. If we were replacing in this closed season the club would have made an announcement. Having a sub standard surface will effect who will sign for the club. If the club don't have the funds in place to replace it then this is a new level of ineptness by the old regime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the pitch argument either. As was mentioned weeks ago, if the main pitch is causing injuries then switch to the newer one and only use the main one on matchdays. If it's due to the bounce etc then the majority of teams we've faced seem to have mastered it. An aged 5G pitch is surely better than a rutted, bare grass pitch every other week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess somewhere below £10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been for a couple of years if you ask me. Quicker we get back to grass the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennieball Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Aye the pitch has been visibly fucked for at least 2-3 years now. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I'd prefer a grass park also, I can't imagine the club will want to thought due to the loss of revenue if we got rid of the Astro. Then again couldn't the first team use the other Astro round the back of the stadium for training?

the philosopher Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The idea of these AstroTurf pitches is fewer games are postponed and there is an extra revenue stream from the general community use. One of the most important issues is that some of that revenue is set aside for pitch replacement long before it is nackered or at the end of life.This should avoid any player injuries. Most clubs don't show that discipline and the cash is just devoured In the normal running costs- instead they go out with begging bowl to local councils and SFA grants ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
