Apparently so. This one didn't bed in. How the fuq they expect another one to bed in sufficiently to stand up to two games in 24 hours is beyond me.
I managed a leisure and cultural centre for a few years and we were a lawn bowls centre of excellence. While football and bowls are two different sports the art of greenkeeping is much the same. If it takes months to bed in a bowls lawn - and yes the grass is much denser - how a professional organisation can hope to do the same with a football pitch in 5 days is beyond me.
Time to leave Hampden. Or pay Queens Park to play elsewhere. Although, in saying that, lots of clubs maintain decent pitches season in and out so why can't the sfa do it?
