#28 - 05/02/11 - Saints 2-0 Partick Thistle - Scottish Cup


Recommended Posts

But how come some other pitches around Perth without the money to spend on pitches were payable today how much have we wasted on the pitch and its still a disaster wither a bit of rain and wind can get it called off no excuses am sorry but It's unacceptable

We both have different views

Thats what the forum is all about -different views -god it would be boring if we all agreed with everything that is written. We debated the problem , nothing wrong in that.

Dont think anyone isnt saying we have had pitch problems - that is up to the club to sort out and hopefully they will.

That 'simple' drainage problem is below the level of the under soil heating pipes. The pitch, USH and several layers need completely excavated to renew all the drainage after 20+ years of sand and silt clogging it all up and compacting.

And then we will have a completely new pitch which will again take time to bed in.

I would hazard a guess that the pitch would have been playable for a junior game or a supporters game but not playable for an SPL match. Big difference.

A pitch is either playable or not, nothing to do with the standard of match taking place.

However, referee's seem to be more cautious than they were in the past. 10 years ago the match would have went ahead.
