Fort William shinty club chairman Richard Gall has spoken out in favour of artificial pitches but feels that at present, the costs involved make such a development an unlikely option.
Speaking in this week's Oban Times, Gall said ‘personally I think it is the way shinty should be going but it’s expensive, it costs millions. If you look at Ireland that’s where they are going but we don’t seem to have the funding the Irish have. It would be great in the long term, even having one national stadium which had an artificial surface.’
