Artificial Surfaces

[Geoff_Tipps]

Are they allowed to be used in the top flight of Scottish Football? Or would Hamilton or Falkirk have to dig up their pitches should they get promoted.

[dave_min]

Depends what kind of surface it is.

[tightbreeks]

threadbare astroturf with sand in it.

 

tidy. rives your side-bum skin aff.

[RUL]

If it's one association then I assume it must be fine to use in all leagues?

[Tord31]

3 of the 4 teams in the premiership playoffs gave artificial surface and if any of those teams win then it will be first artificial turf in top flight in uk

[Geoff_Tipps]

What about when Dunfermline had their artifical surface? I recall Noel Whelan scoring a goal for us on it.

[Henry]

I think Luton were in the top division in England when they put theirs in.

[The Boofon]

Interesting but entirely irrelevant.

[Tord31]

oops stand corrected dunfermline did a trial in 2003 which was deemed a failure and artificial surfaces were not allowed in spl...until next season

[Miglo don]

If you look at the state some pitches are/have been in over recent seasons then not allowing them is stupid. Plus they can be used throughout the week bringing in valuable money for clubs who need every penny they can get.

[Bluto10]

 

 

 

 

Because you're fuckin irrelevant. That's fuckin why.

[Henry]

Nice use of the quote function spunkbreath.

[E-P-K]

QPR played with artificial pitch in Engerland top flight mid 80s

[Bluto10]

I play weekly on an artificial pitch by the way

[The Boofon]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How so?

Like the prices to get in, what another country does with artificial pitches has fuck all to do with Scotland.

[Henry]

Agreed, but I was replying to Tord's assertion that there had been no artificial surfaces in the top flight in the UK.

No need to get all apologetic and defensive just cause you were being a idiot

[dave_min]

Rhyl, TNS & Coleraine all have artificial pitches as well incase anybody gives a fuck.

[Dandyesque]

I bet they don't if my reaction is anything to go by

[Bamber]

There is no particular rule regarding league

 

They must be FIFA 2 Star and must say by 31st Mar they intend to use it the next season once started its assumed that they will use it each year.

 

That's it

[BrianFaePerth]

Hate them with a passion. At least half the top flight clubs here use them and it just seems wrong.

[Ke1t]

It's not 1462* any more... artificial surfaces should be the norm.

 

* A date picked at random.

That's not a date. It's a year.

 

A pretty dull one unless you were a Jew. You'd think they'd have learned their lesson.
