yup, the pitch was horrendous...dextorian said:No offence Wong, but if I am FAS, I will try to stop Star Sports from telecasting this game "live" too. Singapore is a small nation and the National Stadium is within, maximum, 60 minutes from any part of the island. If I want the whole nation to come down and support the national team, then why telecast it LIVE?? Makes no sense right? Then the stadium will be empty. IF you are a soccer player, does it feel good to play in an empty stadium?
However, if the match is played in somewhere like KL, which is far away, the FAS and the local media did their part to telecast it LIVE. Now, I think this is very sensible on their part since they cannot expect many Singaporeans to travel up to support the team.
As for the pitch condition, I agree with you that we need to do something about it. I think the FAS are considering laying artifical grass since this "grass" has been endorsed by some big premiership clubs. Let's hope they do it soon.
i think epl is facing the same problem.
because of live telecasts, supporters are preferring to stay home and watch multiple matches back to back than to travel and watch one match only..
