united issued the below statement earlier today:
Dundee United Football Club would like to provide supporters and partners with an update on the condition of the playing surface.
The weather across northeast Scotland has seen unprecedented levels of rainfall throughout the recent winter months. This, combined with a congested home fixture schedule and the club’s commitment to doing everything possible to fulfil fixtures, has placed significant strain on the pitch.
A range of pitch-protection measures have taken place during this period. These actions have been crucial in enabling fixtures to proceed during prolonged periods of heavy rainfall. However, they have had an unavoidable impact on the visual appearance of the playing surface. This has been the necessary compromise in ensuring continuity across an exceptionally demanding run of home fixtures during extraordinary weather conditions.
Following Saturday’s postponement, staff have continued to work extensively to improve conditions and prepare the pitch for upcoming matches. As of 1.00 pm today, the pitch is deemed playable and, were a fixture to take place this evening, there would be little concern regarding its playability.
The local weather forecast indicates further significant rainfall over the next 24 hours. The club remains in regular dialogue with the SPFL and our opponents, Aberdeen FC. While there is currently no plan for a pitch inspection, this remains a fluid situation and may change depending on weather conditions.
Everyone at Dundee United is focused on preparing for tomorrow night’s fixture. Should there be any change to the current position, supporters will be informed as quickly as possible through the club’s official channels.

I don`t agree with banning plastic pitches in the top flight as long as they are the higher quality types.
Every year there`s at least a couple of teams that have real problems with grass- Dundee last season in the top flight for example. Us in the 2nd tier
I`m not saying we should have a high quality plastic pitch, but there are also advantages for many clubs.
