I may be wrong but weren't we told there would big news this week? Was it the latest signings that were the big news?

Big news = full of wind and pish.

I think the big news is going to be the announcement of the 3g or 4g surface that has possibly started being done.
Pitch looks a mess just now so cant be any other reason than this I would have thought.

meant to put forfar instead of brechin still like to see an all weather 3G surface at bayview and add to the other teams that do have astro and be part of the community as a club it's worked good at those clubs so why not at east fife, also would reduce the call offs/pitch inspections if we get bad weather. I think it's wonderful move if it happens even in this leauge let's just see.

I don't think it has done Montrose much good in footballing terms, nor Clyde and arguably Airdrie.

Playing on grass hasn't harmed Cowden or Dumbarton. It's more to do with how a club is run, it's vision, management etc. Too simplistic to say put in a plastic pitch and success will follow.

A few ex-players have said that they would be disappointed if they pitch is ripped up. Saying that its probably one of the best surfaces in lower leagues.
Players don't like plastic pitches. Don't know if its due to muscle stiffness the day after or that it allegedly makes injuries worse.
Agree with the other post that says laying plastic won't turn us into an amazing club.

Might lead to less call offs, but the season we played at Montrose in freezing weather and the pitch was ridiculous. Players could barely keep their feet. Even Baikie agreed the game should be abandoned but the ref played on.

Don't think the pitch is being renewed soon as there was a machine spreading sand/soil like substance over it on Monday night

Pleased its staying a grass pitch. If we have to have plastic I would prefer it not to be the main pitch and one outside of the stadium with its own facilities. Bayview should be for league football and East Fife players not pub players (though I realise for the past couple of seasons it's been hard to spot the difference). I also realise that would cost more but that should be our aim.

Did you all miss the big news? It was on the official site - Dave Marshall opened the church fete.

Was the "big news" just more hot air from the club then?

We signed 3 players. That would have been the big news. What were you's expecting?

It's all relative!!!

3 New signings > Weekly Goldmine Draw > Dave Marshall Opens his Curtains

Big News > Not So Big News > Meh News



Hope this helps!!!
