No Grounds For Sharing

Mar 2 2008

SPL BOSSES will consider banning ground-sharing after another match at Fir Park was postponed.

The cancellation of the Gretna-Dundee United clash was the fifth in as many weeks there.

It's thought he number of games played on the pitch as a result of Gretna sharing with Motherwell has led to the glut of postponements - and added to fixture congestion.

SPL secretary Ian Blair said yesterday: "It's something we'll be discussing over the next few weeks.

"The SPL board will decide whether or not ground-sharing will continue but we couldn't ignore views of our members."

Should they survive, Gretna still wouldn't have a ground that meets SPL criteria next season.
