Worst I've seen it for a while..not really helping our style of football.
Hampden being relaid as we speak for next weeks final also..should be interesting to see how it plays in 7 days..

Also they seriously need to sort the speaker system in the East Stand - couldn't hear a word at half time.

Moan over :)

It will be at its worst right now. Things will start to improve as temperatures and daylight hours increase.

There are not many pitches looking healthy at the moment, ER is no different from many others.

Wet winter has stuffed it. Still better than Alloa's Astro.

Few bobbles, but not too bad IMHO

Is a hybrid pitch beyond us? Would it not save money in the long run?

Is there not less requirement to relay it all the time?

Think they cost close to 1 million.

Hibs need the removeable lights to help growth also but there cost a fortune also.

Looking at the pitches down south seems they are kept much better - but again at a cost.

I think the squillions of quid to do a proper one might be beyond us :greengrin

Could we get it a weave, like Stokes's?

At ER ?

If the Hibs DJ or the fans rep reps are reading this....can you please sort the speakers in the East Stand - seriously can't hear a word what was being said today at half time.

You should contact the club direct about that. :aok:

The upfront cost to lay a synthetic/grass weave is way more than we can afford at the moment.

No need, I've heard that Tam McCourt has taken it to Spain for a week in the sun.

32,000 suitcases at Ryanair prices - no wonder Rod isn't amused.
