The BigFeller Award for Brevity
"This latest action is deemed necessary after discussions with our pitch supply chain and representatives from the independent Sports Turf Research Institute following the installation of a new surface only five weeks ago.
"While the pitch is in an adequate playing condition, and has been professionally managed with an extensive maintenance and nutrition programme, regrettably it became evident that the rye grass in certain strips had not grown as expected.
"Given the recent six-figure investment, we expressed our concerns through the established supply chain and reached agreement that a new surface would be relaid at no cost to HPL. We spoke to our colleagues at the SPFL to assure them the decision would have no impact on today's Petrofac Training Cup final.
"We are confident that this action will provide the best possible playing surface for the Scottish Cup semi-finals and, indeed, the climax to the Scottish football season."
IN SHORT
The pitch was OK but we have decided to replace it, for free".
