Passionate Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This has maybe been discussed before, what are the plans for the refurbished "Lesser" will it be natural grass or 4G, personally I am a fan of 4G and does promote a good passing game and takes away players excuses, after seeing footage of one of your recent games at Firhill and attending Dumbarton a few days ago, those surfaces do not suit a possession based passing game, I know you have various issues at the moment, manager, form etc, do you guys think this groundshare at Firhill could technically hold you back... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surface at Lesser will be 4G or equivalent as we have to gain income from the community. I tend to agree that the surface will develop higher skills. As for Firhill it is marginally better than travelling to Airdrie but nevertheless is a hell of a place in my opinion. Accessibility is poor and the pitch will deteriorate as winter goes on. The affect on attendance figures has been poor in a season when we could have expected an increase in crowds. In a nutshell I think groundsharing away from your fanbase has to be detrimental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathcartSkins Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Alex Neil - is he still out of work? Then there is Paul Lambert and of course failing that, there is always Zinedine Zidane; am sure he still has happy memories of playing on the South Side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New regime at Ibrox might be an ideal time to part ways. Stark and he were huge parts of developing the system that brought through so many good players. The club are obviously going big on the academy and signing young players side of things. Limited experience of management at a truly competitive level. Aforementioned Stark does, though. Took an assistant gig at Rovers a few years back, but at 65 he’s maybe more likely to fancy putting the feet up than standing in the rain at Pollok Park as part of a coaching team. This isn’t a rumour and, as with 99.9% of things, I know absolutely nothing. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t on the list, though. What evidence is there that the club is going big on the academy? If anything the academy has been totally neglected since the new regime took over two 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a training facility or even a block booking with one and have been training significantly less than every other club involved in Club Academy Scotland for well over a year now.
