Enigma Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Anybody living near Stark’s know what the pitch is looking like? Has snow been cleared, are the covers down? Edited February 11, 2021 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I’ll happily put my hands up and say it’s been far better than I expected it to be, not sure if it makes money or costs less than maintaining a grass pitch but it’s certainly good in winter time when you look at the nick of some grass pitches. For me a good grass pitch will always be better than any artificial surface but a bad grass pitch is certainly worse. Pretty much my view of things regarding the pitch. My only concerns are around how long the pitch will remain in good condition and what happens when the pitch reaches the end of its life if we don’t have the funds to replace it. You only have to look at what’s happened with the ground. Two spanking new stands thrown up in the mid-90s and 25 years later they were looking their age and things like PA, seats, toilets were needing replaced and we were struggling for money. That’s without mentioning the Railway Stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The pitch was still covered in snow when I passed about ten this morning. They might have already decided not to bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Can't see the game being on. It's to be very cold Friday night so no point removing snow which would just mean a frozen base. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I live about a 10mins walk from Stark’s, and absolutely hee haw snow has melted in my garden today. If the covers haven’t been put down, it’s game off I reckon - a lot of snow to defrost and piss off in the space of 36-48hrs or so.I’ll take the dog a walk tomorrow and go up via Stark’s and take a wee picture, see what it’s like and share with the world of P&B.I really hope it’s on, as I’m planning on getting mortal on Saturday, and if nae fitbaw between 3-5pm, would leave a bit of a gap in my Saturday plans... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hope this is on, looking forward to it, should be a good game with two teams who like to play it on the deck. I'd hope Raith would even try to clear a strip to see what the astro is like underneath, depends if the astro was covered before snowfall. Ultimate fate of the game may be decided if there's not enough pitchside space for the mounds of snow, was the major issue with being unable to clear Livingston astro apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 No training on the pitch last night so pitch must still be covered in snow. With low temps zero chance this game will go ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Don't want to come on here sounding like a w**k however a comparison between Raith and Alloa, who both have artificial surfaces, of trying to clear the snow is quite different.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been at the Rec after it's been cleared of snow and there is quite a bit of the crumb removed in the process, maybe we value the condition of our pitch differently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Another factor I think is that JMG is probably not been too fussed about getting this on due to the injury situation. It is another week for J MacDonald, Gullen, Vaughan, Bene, Mathews all to get fit and hopefully one less game they will be missing for. Still gutted it’s off, though. Watching the Rovers has been a huge escape and release over the last 5 months! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
