Looks terrible, but I assume the groundsman was on explaining it. I missed what he was saying. What was he saying?

Groundsman was saying that due to the covid situation they couldn't do the usual renovations in the pitch in the summer. It does look as bad as I can ever remember

Yes but that is horrendous. Not a good look for a top class football club.

Pitch is a disgrace. Given our home form, it’s likely costing us points. Shambles.

Football should be banned in the winter!! Dearly me😏.
Modern football isn’t cut out for a cut up park.

We criticise other club's pitches, especially the artificial ones, but I haven't seen any as bad as that.
Maybe a contributing factor to our poor home record.

If that was any other pitch we'd all be calling it a disgrace.
It's embarrassing for a club at our level, and can't be conducive to any sort of good football.

Do we not have, or at least have access to they lamp things?
I’m fairly certain they’ve been out on our pitch before.

Pitch was our biggest opponent when we looked half decent earlier in that first half.
Really poor surface.

Said it before, lends itself to teams who just want to battle and kick and play for territory. So many decent footballers in our team but the ball bobbling all over the place results
In extra touches and more chance of the opposition getting behind the ball. Means games end up just shelling the ball back and forth hoping for second balls.

I made this suggestion on another thread but this one suits it better.
I've picked Cabbages in fields that looked better than that..... so I think we should rename our pitch 'The Cabbage Patch'.

Why would Covid stop them doing work on the pitch ? Surely that would have been the exact time to do it ?

The pitch is a bit of a shocker to be honest. It's easy to say that the grass doesn't grow in January. Then what are all these fancy lighting rigs you see over most pitches at this time off year? I can understand the pitch being threadbare if the technology wasn't available but it is

I'm not sure it is just growth. Didn't catch all of what the groundsman said but looks like we missed carrying out some work that would have been required in the summer.

Looks to me like the pitch has suffered due to the lack of cash coming in. It won’t maintain itself and the maintenance contractor will cost money. It’s very poor and it’s been a very long time since it was in nick like this. . Round about the time Deek and Petrie had a wee fall out about it.
Needs sorting though.

Was our ground staff on furlough? Not sure how many we have but sure I heard that a while back but was last year.
I think it’s a bit of everything...bad weather..few games quite close together and basically we need to get a better hybrid pitch with lights but comes at a cost - think I’ve seen Hibs with just x2 lights before but not enough to cover more of the pitch.

It's usually one of the better surfaces in Scotland, which makes the current state seem rather stark. Hopefully we can get it in a better place soon enough, but that sounds like a tough ask.
Fair play to the groundsman for talking about it before the game. I like that kind of transparency from the club.
