Hamilton's pitch at New Douglas Park has been branded the worst of Scotland's 42 senior clubs following a survey of the nation's professionals.
Stirling Albion's Graeme Glen has been named groundsman of the year after the surface at Forthbank Stadium came out on top of the study organised jointly by PFA Scotland, Sports Labs and the Scottish FA.
But Accies' plastic pitch was given the thumbs down by players, who gave it an average score of just 1.18 out of 5.
The good news for them, however, is that the Lanarkshire club have already started work on installing a new 4G surface ahead of next season.
