Cagey Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Has the pitch ever been in a worse condition. This must be the wettest winter since we moved to McDiarmid but the west have had worse & the St Mirren pitch coped better during 90 mins torrential rain on Friday. The goalmouths look like the aftermath of a Greta Thurberg rally. They used to have the heatlamps in the goal area's. I am sure they also put the black covers in the goal mouths. Haven't noticed any of that recently but may have missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers hardly a blade of grass left on it and both of these are hybrid pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Saturday / Wednesday is hard enough on the pitches at this time of year. The volume of rain recently has made things even worse.

Rob Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Not to take anything away from our teams performance but I think the pitch condition benefitted us on Sunday. Stopped Celtic playing the slick football we are used to seeing. HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Jenkins Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Pitch was way worse a few years back. At least we have grass on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I was on the pitch on Saturday (just by chance, pic) and it was not that bad to be fair. Not sure how much rain fell from Storm Jorge overnight into Sunday and while we were playing on it, but although heavy the ball was running mostly well apart from the known soggy bit in the East/Ormond part of pitch. Dens was waterlogged, our game was on this weekend. Think the staff are doing a decent job in wet, storm after storm conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point entirely, the whole area is so waterlogged that is almost impossible to get anywhere drained enough to stop the damage that is happening to most pitches.

Also Rangers had a game postponed due to the condition of their pitch quite recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I assume Saints are pretty confident the season is over. I passed on the ring road today & there is a lot of soil being dumped beside the training pitch & dumper truck on the pitch. Unable to see playing surface. Maybe it IS Kirsten's plastic pitch.

There wont be games until at least late july/august so i suppose it makes sense to do the work they would normally do at the end of the season now. Think that is what rangers did a few weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certain that we will end up with one now. Only factor might be the initial cost and whether we can afford it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
