A Scottish Premiership grass pitch fund?
Is it needed? Top professionals shouldn't be expected to play on these surfaces and fans at this level shouldn't be expected to pay good money to watch matches on these surfaces.
Something along the lines of 1st place giving 5% of league prize money pro-rata down to 12th place giving up 1% of prize money. Clubs competing in Europe can give up 2-3% of Champions League and Europa prize money. At the end of the season add everything up and split 12 ways ensuring that every single penny goes towards the maintenance of a grass pitch.
If diddy clubs want to keep plastic they can live in the Championship.
If Ayr Utd, Raith Rovers etc can maintain grass pitches Killie, Accies and Livi should be able to.
