Love it or hate it. BUT an Astro surface financed through grant applications has to be a priority for the board.
This generates income. Cuts down on hiring a training pitch during the week. Maybe the 1st team might like to train in Glasgow, but making that once in Glasgow, once in Dumbarton could be the difference between getting a player on board for the season.
Local clubs spend thousands on pitches every year. Just maybe they'd like to hire the pitch. Parents would love to sit under the covers while watching the kids train. No other pitch locally would have that.
