    Plastic is supposed to be more weather resistant, and should be less likely to get waterlogged (which isn’t the issue here admittedly)

    At this level, there’s no excuse for not having the heating on. However, with a grass pitch, there’s a chance that a heavy snowfall could cause the pitch to become waterlogged as the snow melts, that won’t be the case with a plastic one as it won’t absorb the water and should be drained off easily.

    Also, how long does it take to thaw out a plastic pitch? It was an early morning inspection for this match, surely they could get the heating on and have it ready for an afternoon kickoff.
    Not sure why I deleted my post!! Is it actually plastic though? To be fair no matter what their pitch is its still crap!

    Sea air I think mainly keeps it minimal in Leith if at all, you know its bad when it snows in Leith

    I remember a new year when I was in grangemouth and it was 30cm deep at the docks.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Last sentence is definitely bang on!


    The pitch is Astro/plastic/synthetic/whatever the term is these days. It’s not grass in anyway, they tore up the grass pitch when they got promoted to the premier league
