Whilst there are obvious practical and commercial advantages of artificial surfaces, professional football should only be played on grass unless and until the characteristics of the two surfaces are far more similar than they are now. As far as the serious problems that our friends and neighbours from Merkinch are now faced with, we should do what we can to help them and if that means a bit more work for the ground staff and playing on a poorer surface for a few weeks then, in my view, that is a price we should pay. Despite our recent difficulties, we are a large commercial undertaking with a seven figure turnover whereas they are a struggling community asset linked to an area of town with more than enough issues already. I, for one, am very pleased to see our CEO articulating the club's willingness to help if we can.

Like you I was at all six, and also sitting in the company of the Stonehaven ICT has made a few disasters a bit more palatable. The absolute moment of the decade for me is Raven’s goal. It narrowly pipped Richie Foran’s last minute overhead kick... Watching the highlights, when the ball hits the net you can hear somebody yell “yes!” Possibly Shinnie or Raven or Christie, who knows, but the hairs on the back of the neck stick up every time.

Reading quite the opposite, Buster. Looks like he's willing to help out in every way possible, but, agreed, is concerned about drawing at Alloa. https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/doubts-over-clachnacuddins-use-of-inverness-caledonian-thistle-ground-188878/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

Sooner we rip it up and put in a plastic pitch, the better.

Robbo is a huge advocate for artificial pitches because he feels that the right ones (such as the one used by Highland Rugby Club) are better than grass, so ?‍♂️
