I posed a question about hybrid pitches a while back on another thread. Same feedback, that they're seriously expensive and beyond the means of most clubs up here. Pretty sure the rugby types have one at Murrayfield though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 If he has signed for Airdrie we obviously were never in for him, unless the guy maybe wants to remain part time. Agree he doesn’t fit into the profile of the type McGlynn has signed or been rumoured in for this far. He is full time at airdrie and getting put through his coaching badges 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 McCabe will be a player only again by Christmas I actually tend to agree with this although I don’t think it will be as long as that. I just can’t see how you can a manager and assistant manager as players. Especially when the two of them will be starting every week. I also tend to agree that, in simple terms, if falkirk and airdrie were going for the same players then most time the player would choose falkirk. That being said, falkirk have been an absolutely basket case lately whereas airdrie have been pretty consistent albeit unable to make the final step. Suspect falkirk will improve this season. They may not have been in for ballantyne, however, it is the type of signing they should have been making. Almost certainly the best right back in the league who could probably play championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A grass pitch is still currently the pitch favoured by the majority of top sides, and it’s hard to argue that technology hasn’t come up with anything that is as good (let alone better). Thing is, grass just doesn’t stand up to ground sharing. If it’s one club using it, then it is absolutely the best of surfaces, but at a cost of diminished revenue. Celtic’s pitch on the last day of the season was in incredible condition. No worn areas in the goalmouth at all. Yet within a week, they had it scraped off in preparation for a new top surface of turf (or maybe just thin top soil and seed) to be put in place. It’s an expensive game to maintain in top condition (and Celtic’s is still some way off the likes of top EPL grounds). Don't know if it's the point you're making, but Celtic have a hybrid pitch. So do Hearts, Hibs, Rangers and I'm sure Motherwell are putting one in this Summer too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're being hypocritical Shadwell. You posted "Can we no just talk about football on here?". because it suited you at the time but now you are quite happy posting about non footballing matters. Nothing personal Shadwell, I just think you should be consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatapyBairn. Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Think the club is in a difficult position regarding the pitch, replacing the “carpet” section on the current 4G pitch at the end of this season or next is obviously the most cost effective way to do it and allows us to continue collecting revenue from the Shire playing on it, pitch hire and hosting gigs ect. The only other option is going back to grass which not only has a big initial outlay it’ll reduce our income in the years going forward at a point where we’ve heard the club needs to be growing it’s income. I think the cost of installing a hybrid pitch seems to be around the million pound mark and is obviously way above what we could afford to spend so I presume its a pretty unlikely option all be it does give clubs the best of both worlds.
