| 8. Author: neils Date: Fri 11th Sep 2026. 23:28 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? Reply |
