pete 2,499 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I think artificial pitches have advanced so far that Motherwell should think on investing in one.They may have a slight advantage by playing on it regularly but it would be better for other teams than the pitch they now have. Don't let the Dunfermline pitch influence you on this, that was a cheap version even then and even the best artificial pitches have developed further. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I agree Pete. Bermuda have just installed a new artificial pitch, it is called "field turf". The surface is very good with the bounce being almost true (slightly less bounce than on a real pitch. But the real bonus of field turf (updated artificial turf) is that you can actually slide tackle and not get any tackle rash. And then, obviously, the fact you can actually pass a ball on it helps a great deal too ! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one part of the pitch can bounce higher than another. With an artificial pitch the bounce should be more or less the same all over. I see everyone playing on artificial surfaces in the not too distant future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 As I said in my previous post the SPL have banned artificial pitches after the Dunfermline trial. I'm pretty sure Hamilton had a plastic pitch before coming into the SPL but had to get rid of it to play in the league... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt mean that the SPL shouldn't be progressive..... oh, wait a minute..... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 972 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 That was utterly the worst pitch Ive ever seen for a top flight match. Sunday league pitches around the country are better than that. How was that an advert for Scottish Football? Motherwell should be asked to play there home matches elsewhere until they have grass on the pitch. And 1 the games top class govering bodies strike up another classic by playing a cup reply on it 2 weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
