1320Lichtie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The ball runs away, doesn't hold up and the games feel sticky do they?Yes, the point being that players seem to attempt less through balls/balls over the top and try and play everything to feet, not difficult.

1320Lichtie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You don't half spout some ignorant shite on here. Someone saying that you have only relaid it in the summer, I've only been to NDP once, at the start of last season and I didn't think it looked like the newer stuff I've seen elsewhere then. I hadn't realised the newer stuff had gone down. Apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I believe that Alloa are due to relay their pitch this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 On some Thistle fb page and a number of absolute troglodytes claiming they wouldn't go back if we were to put in an artificial surface. Facepalm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Must be tricky, and a bit smelly and messy to play on. You have to tread Caerphilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I see on Twitter that a Spartans player is in today's Sun saying he got blood poisoning after burning himself on artificial turf. Injuries, muscle tears, premature arthritis, throat cancer, and now blood poisoning. Perhaps these things really are stalking death traps after all.

BFTD Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I hear you can contract STDs through playing on artificial surfaces. Just thought I'd mention it, as I'm sure there's a player somewhere who's in desperate need of something vaguely plausible to tell the wife. Godspeed, sir.

Injuries, muscle tears, premature arthritis, throat cancer, and now blood poisoning. Perhaps these things really are stalking death traps after all. I'll tell you what was a death trap, Formartine United's pitch yesterday, the game should never have started and I'm guessing the only reason it did was because Brora travelled over 3 hours to get there. Right from the off the ball wouldn't bounce in many areas of the pitch, both goalmouths were heavily sanded and soon turned to a sea of mud, large divots were kicked up all over the park, and for the penalty kicks the ref had to guess where the penalty spot was. I'm surprised no players suffered a bad injury on it. It's been many years since I have seen a surface like that at any level of football. We shouldn't be playing games on such surfaces, I dread to think how much mud the players ingested......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpoonTon Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Surely an artificial pitch would be better than the surface at Firhill right now. It reminds me of the state of that surface when the rugby was played there. Horrible pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I was listening to Sportsound podcast yesterday and one of the arguments one of the guys used against artificial surface was if they are so great why aren't Barcelona and Real Madrid using them.

ScottishScouse Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Surely because research is inconclusive, and people would rather see the game and play on a grass pitch, the focus should be on maintaining good grass pitches? Introducing a winter break would allow pitches to somewhat recover, or at least not get worse over the worst months of the season, and would probably end up producing a better standard of football when the games do restart due to players being fresher mentally?

thekorean Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 In America, 6 clubs in MLS plays on artificial pitch, or turf as we call it. They have to share stadiums with American football teams, and the stadiums are often used for concerts while teams are away. Sacrifice quality for additional revenue.
