They seem to have given teams such as Hamilton and Alloa a fair advantage at home.If we had one at Easter road it could make us harder to beat.All teams seem to have been looking forward trips to Easter road the last few seasons.
Are these pitches the future of football anyway?

I don't mind other teams having plastic pitches, but I'd be disappointed if we went down that road. And really, does anyone think it would actually improve us? Call me old fashioned, but if we're gonna be crap, I'd rather it were on proper grass.

We had a similar thread very recently did we not? Answer is still the same NO, NEVER, football should be played on grass.

No, but it's not supporters you should be asking as we don't play on the surface, but if you were to ask football players then it will be grass everytime for them.

Can't beat the start of a season and ER pitch looking like a beautiful carpet. Yeah it can get messy in the winter but that's football. I hope we never have a fake pitch!

Define "plastic" please.
If it's one of the state of the art pitches used in the English Premiership then I'd be in favour (assuming we could afford the installation and maintenance).Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

P.s. Just say no kids. And to plastic pitches too.

I don't recall ever playing on a grass surface as good as Easter Rd but I have played on one or two good-quality artificial surfaces... I would still take the amateur grass pitches every time
I do know of others that have the opposite opinion though.

Maybe Scotland should play Germany at Alloa, visiting teams seem to struggle there.

Plastic pitches will get better.
And when they do, hopefully we will have a consistent year round surface to allow teams to play football and banish the winter time cabbage patch crud we currently endure.
Our climate is a hindrance to good football.
