trialist Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Interesting views on artificial surfaces, Stirling Albion are the only team in League 1 with a GRASS pitch! Why would some WOS club fans be against it if it were to drive more revenue into their club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would some WOS club fans be against it if it were to drive more revenue into their club? Stirling hosted the best non league geme ive seen this year, Stirling Uni v Albion Rovers. Grass park. Darvel v Aberdeen Grass park. Pollok v Annan grass park Compare Cumnock v Dumbarton pish That said an Astro is better than a coo field. All the above names parks are gid. Gemes on the Astro are too stand-off ish. I’d like to see a comparison in gemes oan Astro goals scored v gemes on the grass. Willing to bet it’s less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would rather watch a game in a dilapidated ground with no cover and very little facilities on a cow field because astros the devil. Its good enough for the Champions League but not the WoS Edited October 4, 2023 by Kenny*******Powers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Armadale Thistle opened their new astro pitch last year with a game against Edinburgh College. IIRC the result was Armadale 7 Edinburgh College 3. Apparently this seldom happens on plastic... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben10 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Quick wan on this. I think the Astros built in to the older grounds are better. cumnock and largs bein two of the better wans. Kelty as well Tbf. That said canny beat a right god skidding slide tackle. Cages. Soulless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality and fantasy all merge in to one these days more often tha not. I'm not the worst though. Long standing stories, usually told at funerals etc get more fantastical every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Some pics and info on the new Kirkintilloch ground. Certainly better than a cage though apparently needs bigger nets/fencing behind the goals (wonder how many balls will be lost to the canal!) - similar to Kelty you could add more cover etc so I can see why one club would want to make sure it is "theirs" before investing in the facilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Was at Blantyre Vics match today , grass quite long , pitch really heavy , lots of dull bounces and players losing their footing made for a pretty feisty game. Would have been sh*te on a pool table astro surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Since there's no Rob Roy thread this is as good a place as any - KRR have their first home game in almost two months (and another next week), but don't seem to be any closer to playing the now open Kirkintilloch Sports Complex? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
