No idea mate, all it shows is a telescoped view of a pitch from one corner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 14 hours ago, CambieBud said: I’ve no idea what Livingston fans expect. Smallest support/ budget in the league and have punched way above their weight for years. Like Hamilton before them. I honestly don’t believe Martindale is under any pressure and certainly shouldn’t be. There's more to it than the surface level. He's absolutely under pressure given it's, I think, six losses in a row. We went around four full games with one shot on target. Even with little to no budget, that should be sounding off alarm bells alone. Managers have a shelf life and I fear that Martindale is close to the end of his, despite the wonders he has worked with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Also, what would a rough estimate be for ripping up the plastic, sticking in grass, maintaining the grass and buying/installing/running undersoil heating? For a club with an annual turnover of just over 1m, I can't see us just taking that whole sum and whacking it on a pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if Livi salted the pitch with special pure salt before the freeze came in, whether insulating covers work with 4G surfaces or whatever else. Maybe there's a good reason they didn't do these things, maybe they were just tight. I just thought it was funny that Sherrif John Bunnell's prediction came true within minutes of the game being called off, & by someone whose side has no interested in this battle between relegation fodder at that. Just imagining the inevitable astro slide leg burns with salt in the wounds… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a really frustrating call off, County have tentatively shown an upturn in form. Livi on the other hand are struggling. This won’t be replayed until after the Jan window has opened, giving Livi the chance to regroup. This has happened twice to us vs Livi, I would quite happily see them relegated and their drug dealing ned sacked too. If there’s one thing I hate more than shit pitches, it’s drug dealers. County will obviously get the wallet out in January, which is more than Livi can do. Weird to get quite so angry about a game being called off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird to get quite so angry about a game being called off. They should get the wallet out and buy some covers. Also, as stated, I’m not angry but I am frustrated. It clearly favoured County to play today, with our new manager bounce and Livis horrid form. Im not claiming a conspiracy but asking a club in the top league in the country to have a ground suitable for a Scottish winter is not beyond expectations. I mean it does get cold in winter every year… Once again it will be the only top flight game lost this weekend.

Most County fans are sensible, a few are wallopers, pretty much the norm for every team. The ire our pitch causes, even when games are played, makes having it worth while, pure box office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon he saying it sarcastically? I’m not entirely sure. ETA He does wear a lot of Farah clothing, which nobody has thought is trendy since the 80s, so that may explain it…..
