MetalWolf Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Did anyone ask if he can play right back in case Williamsons still injured? I'm assuming he'll be able to motor up and down the wing, drive the team forward... crossing should be a cinch for him....

Much rather drop Nesbitt for Lawal. Burrell will feature later in game imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I'm not entirely sure it matters when it was, our pitch is on its last legs and driving cars (plural by the way) onto it doesn't seem the best idea to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think you know much/anything about artificial surfaces. Driving cars onto it won’t make a jot of difference. We had about 10k people on the pitch in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye this is definitely less damaging than a couple of cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology and materials have moved on a lot since ours was put down. Hybrid synthetic/grass seems to be the way ahead the Hearts surface looked good for example The club should have what they want already decided and be in the tender process. If they haven't then forget next closed season for getting it done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Am I not right in thinking that part of the pitch hire money was supposed to have been ring fenced so that the pitch could be replaced after it was past its best? No clear mention of it here but Douglas McIntyre does speak of a business model which I’m sure included putting aside money for it. https://www.pitchcare.com/news-media/falkirk-go-for-plastic-pitch.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 That pot was probably eaten to try cover costs of being in League 1. I can't see the pitch being replaced until we are in the championship no matter how bad it gets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
