Oh yes. I remember on one occasion Bernie Hughes heading a ball downwards, inside the six yard box, and it bouncing up and over the crossbar. It was crazy.

you could be right what i was saying [if i read it proper are proposals for the league. as always the scottish league are first to use them the english league usually follow suit so it could be a couple of seasons but it would be a good idea...when i went to stenhousemuir you couldnt tell the difference.....

I watched a few games at East End Park when they had the artificial surface and it was terrible. The Gers were poor then but the pitch was awful and was banned so they had to revert to grass. It is a good idea for everyday use but not for professional football.

We almost got an all-weather pitch about 6 years ago - but the residents put a stop to that.

The benefits are endless: even start seven-a-side leagues; attract people to the FES; allow the youth teams, etc., to train there. Does anybody else have an opinion ?

Does it make any more sense with the punctuation ?

I have a video casette here with the 1991 Manx Cup on. The Deepdale match is comical. It just doesn't look like a proper match.

I always thought that our hilly pitch was to our advantage as the opposition aren't familiar with the terrain. Our lads don't need ordinance survey info to navigate it!
