The pitch presented by Graeme for the home game against Queen’s Park on 23rd January
hosting their ‘Koro demo day’ at Forthbank at the end of the season. However, with the Scottish League Cup restructuring for next season, I only have eight weeks from Koro to game. It’s far too good an opportunity to pass up, given the thatch and compaction issues, however I am apprehensive about getting another spring like last year.
The chairman of Stirling Albion, Stuart Brown, is working hard to try and rearrange some early fixtures to give us the best chance of getting the surface back up to
speed. In Scotland, I think the vast majority of us are in favour of summer football, but it will make renovation windows very tight. I guess that’s where we need to be adaptable. I wouldn’t think there’d be much protest if it’s for the benefit of Scottish football.
Are renovations affected by budgets?
We are very fortunate in reaching an agreement with Campeys as there is no way we could consider this work normally. In return, they’ll be staging their show at a terrific venue in the heart of Scotland.
“I’ve not managed to buy anything yet, but that decision would be for my boss to make. I just need to get various quotes together and make a good argument for needing the machinery. It’s then Kairn’s call whether it would be possible!
Although not mine, getting the use of Stirling Cricket Club’s verti-drain has been a game saver.
Additional help has come from Chris Pearson (Pearson Aeration) who goes over the pitch with his Air2G2. A great piece of machinery and a great bloke.
Brian Forsyth (BRF Groundcare) based in Blairgowrie carries out the servicing. He’s mobile and is able to do any work on site.
As for a wish list, that would have to be my own tractor and verti-drain, plus a topdresser. I would like to be able to tine and dress throughout the season.”
