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.

I'd rather play on kilmarnocks artificial surface than some of the grass pitches we have played on this season. 

I'm assuming kilmarnock and hamilton must have a huge injury list with the regularity they play on these pitches ? No ? Thought not. 

Its only became an issue because waghorn got injured (but still got up to take a penalty)

It only ever becomes an issue when a player gets injured and its nearly always the visiting team that would complain.  But for me thats not the main issue, I really don't like watching games played on artificial pitches, they all to often have the feel of 5 a side games or training sessions!!

We get nowhere near the money English football recieved SCO,what would you prefer clubs going bust or surviving??

Got no figures to back this up but artificial pitches are not allowed in the English Conference, I doubt they get any more money than a club in Leagues 1 and 2 in Scotland.
