He’s nit right. The pitch was laid last year and was supposed to be the digs danglies. Right down to his it was transported as turf from the continent. Never in a million years was it meant as a temporary measure.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

A hybrid pitch migh be their "preferred option", but the reality will more likely be a standard grass park being repaid. No danger will they spend £1M on a pitch.

£200k last year to relay the pitch with plans to spend £1m on a hybrid 18 months later.

Hybrid pitch, I’m sure hibs do have one.
90% of the pitch is real grass, the remaining 10% is plastic which is down in the soil gripping the roots of the grass together to keep it tighter and stronger, less likely to be damaged.
A good Hybrid pitch will last roughly 8/10years.
However cheaper options available and might mean replacing before the 8/10years.

I'm not sure how much a new pitch will improve things at the PBS, unless they upgrade the drainage the new pitch will still be soft and turn into a tattie field.

"Groundstaff started to rip up existing turf today and will lay a new pitch that will provide a stopgap until 2018 when the club plan to roll out a hybrid surface that could cost up to £1million."

^^^ Pesky facts!!
The pitch at ER is 100% grass. We’re now trying to say it’s hybrid in order to ‘keep up’ with them.
This is like when folk were claiming that we use a better standard of breeze block. Mental!!

Breeze blocks are of course an entirely appropriate material for this sort of project but they started it!

Delighted that they are investing in a decent pitch. It can only help Scottish football when all the bigger sides actually have surface fit for purpose. Again 8000 fans paying in a month is making a huge difference to them.

I'm pretty sure someone that posts on here works for the company that makes the hybrid pitches. I think he said before that we don't have one.
I also think it is the only hybrid on the market as it is still patented to the company.

We have a hybrid pitch at ER and have had for a couple of years...along with a head groundsmanin Colin who knows how to look after a playing surface properly.
The Hybrid at Tattiecastle just means a mix of 3 different grasses...and Lee Wallace aint one of them

This is Hearts we’re talking about. They always try to do things on the cheap (even though it sometimes ends up costing a lot more money).

It’s cheaper to lay it on the smallest pitch in Scotland - basically like recarpeting a 5s pitch at world of football.
Keep spending the money yams - Budge will want it back soon!

Yes but we like slagging them and its not as if they never slag us. They finally did something about their main stand and we slagged that loads. Once they fix their pitch we'll find something else, like their training facilities that they don't own but they like to lead everyone to believe they do.

Always try and associate themselves with big teams 😂
