I'm about 20 miles south of Firhill in South Lanarkshire and not only is it pissing down, but its blowing a gale too - between the pitch and the weather not much hope for silky football today - so might be a wee chance Queens could sneak a draw then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather's the same down here in Dumfries. This wind and watching us trying to play on a claggy sandpit isn't exactly enticing me out of my armchair but I'll probably be there if its on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALJAGS76 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm in Partick and it's raining and blowing a gale, not a day for football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Firhill’s surface is a definite argument for plastic pitches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say it’s more of an argument to not whore the pitch out to everyone that wants to play on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) No idea what is going on the pitch situation. We've spent a lot of money on it during our Premiership years on re-laying the surface and apparently fixing a long standing drainage issue. It was last re-layed summer of 2019. Now it doesn't flood the canal side so much but it seems the main stand side is worse now too. Grondshare probably doesn't help but there hasn't been that many matches recently. I've no idea what is causing these issues but seems more fundamental than just having tenants. The pitch did start cutting up earlier than usual though which would have been due to the number of games earlier in the season.

Fuctifano Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) If you look at the opening league game vs Queens you can see there are bare spots on the pitch, I know there would have been some league cup games but something has gone wrong and obviously groundsharing hasn't helped that.

Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Simples - plastic pitch, easier ground share, more money in. I believed Airdrie, Celtic Women & Glasgow University all play at the Excelsior now, with Albion Rovers training through the week... netting the club & stadium some decent funds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 If we were going to follow Airdrie’s example, we could just let our club die and join the BNP. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm sure we would still somehow manage to flood an artificial pitch for two months of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R&Y99 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 Our pitch is honking. Groundsharing is surely the main factor in the state of the park. At this rate we will now be playing twice a week until the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 This is getting ridiculous. On the bright side, at least we'll know exactly how many points are necessary to win the league when we play our ten games in hand at the end of May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have allowed QP to groundshare. The pitch has been decent up until now. The day we switch to plastic is the day i stop watching Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The day we switch to plastic is the day i stop watching Thistle.That's wild. Some respectable Raith fans have had a terrible week but are still going to Stark's this afternoon having agonised over the morals of backing a club which signed a rapist. You're willing to boycott over the playing surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
