Celtic, Hearts, possibly Rangers, Hibs and Murrayfield have it.
This involves seeding the pitch with plastic (IIRC it's 5% overall) which binds the grass somehow, then you have the cost of the trollies with the fake sunlight to encourage growth out of season.
Last season, Oldham Athletic installed a hybrid pitch, this allowed the Oldham Rugby League team to play on the pitch as well, so far it has held up well. |
Here is a video which shows how it is installed, the guy indicates in this instance it is 3% plastic.

The pitch must be 30 feet higher than Dens Road to the south, something far wrong as water always travels downhill.

Is there still a slope on the pitch? It sloped towards what's now the away support end or, for the oldies among us, the TC Keay end๐
