Rovers_Lad Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Been critical of us going down the plastic pitch route and plastic pitches in general but have to admit ours did look good Crowd,like Raithie was surprised we mustered that much and thought it was a good crowd considering QOS v Dundee Utd only manage to bring in 250 more Edited August 13, 2018 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 2 hours ago, Raithie said: Interesting to hear pre-match that the next phase of the ground redevelopment is a new club shop. I'm guessing we plan to stock it up sufficiently otherwise it's going to look pretty empty. Went in on Saturday and there didn't look to be many away tops left, no home tops, one hoodie and the rest looked like previous seasons training gear and old playing tops worn by previous players. Yeah listenend to Sintons wee speel pre match about a new club shop to bring in more revenue.As you say if its not stocked sufficiently like the present one its throwing money away.For revenue,getting more punters through the gate should be the goal first? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Our home support is there or there abouts with Morton, Queens and Inverness, probably a bit better like for like than Livi and Hamilton and not f that far off St Johnstone and Ross County. On the pitch has been a bit different 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it keeps up like that then certainly a major improvement. I believe that, if properly maintained, it should remain fairly constant for 5-7 years and would have a life expectancy of approx 10 years based on a max usage of 30-40 hours per week. The board just need to squirrel away about £75 grand a year for the next 10 years so they can replace it in 2028 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It won't cost £700000 to replace the pitch as all the ground work as been done its only the carpet that would replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammytroot Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I understand that the replacement cost at Bayview is 150,000 GBP after 7 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I see we are opening the McDermid stand for Aberdeen fans tonight. Three stands open for a likely crowd of 500-600. Madness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I would have went if it was on the season ticket and I understand why its not, but a tenner to watch Aberdeen reserves isnt really too enticing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but that tenner could go towards a player. Or maybe towards the injury costs.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hopefully the crowd, or lack of it, sends a message to the SFA about the dilution and patronisation of this tournament with the colt teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they really care about us lower league teams. All about the end game of getting colt teams in the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
