These pitches should not be allowed in the top two divisions of the Scottish League football at all. Aside from the obvious advantage they give the home side they do cause injuries that you don't get generally on grass. It is very rare that a grass pitch causes an injury but you do hear of them from games on artificial surfaces. Its been a big topic over here as some MLS teams play on them, but now they are talking about getting rid.

As regards the money, the authorities should allocate money to pay for it. If all four divisions in England can do it, then they can in Scotland as well.
