I personally think they should only be allowed in league 1 and 2.
What do other posters think?

Stenny hires theirs out for community use, and have been doing so for years.

Yeah but it`s still almost all real grass!
Most of the plastic is underground to protect the roots and stop the pitch cutting up badly.

Well they aren`t as bad quality as our grass pitch a couple seasons ago.

Clubs in the 2bd tier of Scottish football have a limited budget! Of course they should be allowed to have artificial grass if they want it. Stenny has a number of teams playing on it, the Rovers can train on theirs- saves hiring facilities.

If Alloa get promoted (a pitch which has any number of kids teams playing it) you think they should rip it up and replace with grass? At a cost of, what a million quid?

We all know the facts.
We`ll just have to agree to disagree.

And that`s part of the problem. They aren`t looked after correctly and get over used

Raith changed theirs close season, previous park was terrible.

All age groups of Raith girls play and train on it regularly.
