eaglelok Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Never noticed the net last week when I was there stood at the back with mostly Renfrew supporters I like the place tho the surface is horrendous it's dated and needs replaced don't think it's even 3g That's because the ball spent most of the time in the air. Was a terrible game to watch. The net in front of the stand is a joke, health and safety gone mad. Mon the Lok now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clash city rocker Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 None of that has anything to do with the surface though, more to do with how the ground is set up and who it is run by, by the sound of it. We have 3G and the only seats we provide are the plastic school type lol, and dugs are welcome. Woof! Been to Blackburns old ground in Scottish and the club did well to get the game on that day as it was really wet...there was mega puddles around the terracing. Don't have problems with some clubs needing artificial but prefer the way Largs and Cumnock are doing it. Where it is laid inside the existing ground rather than planted on the outskirts of town with a wire fence round it and a subutteo stand plonked somewhere random. Has the atmosphere of a windswept graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, better to do what Largs and Cumnock (and Kelty and Broxburn) are doing/done and staying put but laying a new pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 You don't know that there isn't any evidence. There is evidence that the pellets contain toxic chemicals. There is no smoke without fire. Well I've read a lot about it when it broke in February, and there is no evidence linking the rubber infill to cancer. None at all. That's not to say further research should not be undertaken, perhaps it should. "No smoke without fire" is not really the basis to make conclusions!

sfha Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Also do away with 3G pitches. They are a monstrosity and a cancer to football. It also should be protocol that every house that is built should have solar panels installed. Have you seen the press report about 3G pitches and cancer link?

HTG Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Regular? Really? How often does that situation arise? Be honest now. We get very regular emails coming into the club website from parents asking if their son or daughter can play for us. We've put a community club link on our home page and so the emails come in. If you don't think there is a problem with the name you're living in la la land. It is utterly confusing for people who are not steeped in their communities.

Burnie_man Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Toxic chemicals in rubber pellets is enough to make me worry. No one here is making conclusions apart from you. I've not made any conclusions, I've merely stated there is no evidence to link 3G pitch infill to cancer. That is factually correct. Look, you don't like 3G pitches, I get that, let's not go down this particular road as it just derails the thread. It's not all about 3G pitches.

sfha Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Scottish football will be starting earlier next season. Let's be done with it. Start the season on 1 Feb and play through to 31 Nov. The midwinter break of December and January is there. No more standing in the pissing rain or trying to get home in the snow at 10pm on a midweek night. And never mind the 'what about the world cup or euro cups'. This can be worked around. The euros take a break over the christmas new year period, has no one noticed, and the WC/ECh come round every two years, surely we could accomadate that for a few weeks. Now the term 'juniors'. A distinctly Scottish term, but in the twitter age an anachronism. We of an older age would cling to it, but it has moved on. The Juvenile grade was restyled Youth nearly 30 years ago, surely the Juniors are due a make-over now. How about "2nd Senior"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Bing Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Juniors are due a make-over now. How about "2nd Senior"? Why change just to appease the new age idiots? SFA Tried changing the way we played football in the late 80's and 90's see where that got us. Ffs change for the better not just because folk get confused. At least it gets their attention unlike 2nd Senior :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs' first elevens were the senior men, the cup tie XI, the men who held up the prestige of the club. The 2nd XI were the minor players who, when the seniors weren't available filled the slots. The 3rd XIs, which could be named after the grounds, Underwood XI, Clune Park XI, or in their own right, Morton Amateurs/Juniors, Raith Athletic etc. Nowadays they can play in the senior sphere...

Sorry mate my brain couldn't work any of that shi*e out. Leave the name the way it is. It annoys folk who don't know the system so it keeps the interest alive.

edinabear Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I would say it is now time to merge with East of Scotland, South of Scotland and feed into the Lowland League. No need to continue this stand off and embrace the pyramid. Would be great to see Talbot,Pollock, Linlithgow Rose in League 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What will become of these 3g surfaces in say 10 years time?they will need replacing at some point and I wouldn't like to put a price on that.will they be redundant in say 2026 because the latest trend will be a 9g surface? And to something completely different........what will the t.v.s we watch football on be like? Or will our 36g phone have a built in 40 inch plasma? I prefer to call them placebo parks............they are not the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The history, and record, of junior football that I try to build is there for all to see. Look it up, it is tremendously interesting, to paraphrase a Victorian...

dt17 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Give me a good astrograss surface over a swampy pitch any day of the week. Unless a grass surface is in top condition then IMO astrograss is always a better alternative. At least you can still play a passing game on it, whereas if a grass pitch starts to get cut up it's a nightmare and levels the teams out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly no offence but you do as it was the first thing I thought when I read your comments.Secondly, My hobby is the Juniors fitba mate so no need to be referring to some historical crap that disnae hold any weight in today's game. There are loads of knowledgeable folk on here who have decent views without stating they research. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Firstly, I don't write shite. ... That's debatable. Start a season on 1st Feb, really. By 1st March some teams wouldn't have played a game. End it on 31st November- looking beyond the glaring mistake here how many cup finals would be getting called off or played terrible weather. If you look at this season alone, if KRR and Cumbernauld both had 2 games to play going into November, then the season wouldn't have been finished.
