Why didn't you install undersoil when you had the money? Were you not in the spl when it was a requirement? Postponement doesn't bother me but leaving it late does. We did have undersoil hearing when we got to the SPL but it has either been decommissioned or is just not used now. It costs Several £k per match to use (needs to be on for several days before the game so it is not viable for a club like Livi with such a small gate.

Afro Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 AFAIK the undersoil heating was taken out when the pitch was last relaid. No real need for it given the return is fairly minimal financially, if that, and damages the pitch in the long term. Given our location and the fact the South goal gets no sun at this time of year, a 4G pitch should be the only viable solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 We called a game off against Livingston in between Xmas and New Year in 2008. It's Scotland. Shit weather happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've heard we aren't turning on the USH so we can pay for Nathan Austin's signing on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit weather happens. So you did, and our bus carrying the fans was already on its way to the game when it was called off, iirc they went to an East Fife game instead.

Remember it well, East Fife v Brechin, one of the coldest games ive ever been too, and was utterly dreadful too, sure it finished 2-1 to the home side.

Wasn't getting used and I'm sure I read somewhere the club sold it as scrap to make some cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm assuming this won't be on. I take it it'll get played midweek sometime in March or something? Not sure if I fancy playing Falkirk without Morris though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
