Could be due to it being a brand new pitch it has made the problem even more apparant?
Everyone else in the SPL has had their pitch for a longer period of time so has had a chance to 'bed in'
The fact remains if we continue to have winters like we have had then there is really no choice, we have to change the dates we play football.
As you and Fatcalf have mentioned, under soil heating seems to make things worse. I suppose its nature we are fighting against, which is never really a good idea.
