Can't see our game being on, as frost won't be burned off early morning, and a decision must be made early, to save folk travelling from Dalry for nothing.

Our match with Dalry has been moved to the home of the Ayrshire club, as Hannah Park is presently not fit for purpose, according to our club.

Didn't go below zero at all last night, fairly hopeful for tomorrow now. We do have a back up plan of a friendly against Shotts at Petershill Park at 12 noon if both our games are off.

Regardless of how frosty it still is on Saturday, there should be at least one fixture going ahead : Rossvale v Lesmahagow on the Petershill plastic.
The SJFA West's site now shows that as a 3pm KO.
That sounds like a big clue that there's every expectation of the Petershill-Shotts 12 noon friendly needing the park, rather than the Ashfield-Petershill & Dalry-Shotts games being able to go ahead - the 3pm KO meaning the Rossvale & Lesmahagow players' arrival has been put back an hour until the dressing rooms are vacated ?

With all likely to be off up here in Aberdeenshire, I think I'll plan to be using a Sainsbury's voucher to Springburn station on Saturday !

The rain isn't to come till late Friday night after another hard frost tonight and temperatures barely above freezing tomorrow. The rain is to be heavy and it's to be very windy as well, hardly ideal conditions for football. I reckon most games will be off.

Any updates Peter, can you and the team no go on the park with hairdryers and oil heaters?

I know you're up in Nairn but what do you reckon the chances of the Forres Thistle v Stonehaven game being on? Hoping it's on as the bus trip is a good laugh but it's clashing with mine and the wife's birthday night out so don't fancy being late for that!

In all seriousness i would fully expect it to be off, Forres being right next to Nairn and Nairn being completely white with frost it will be off. Cue the game being on and me looking like a fud now!

There's not a hint of frost on my car just now. I'm currently optimistic ...

Take it out of the garage, let it frost up, then you can get some exercise scraping the windscreen. Simples

Seriously HTG your optimism is commendable but currently the Royal Car Park is Baltic and I would say nae chance.

However, after my prediction last week you might be ok.

Got the shorts looked out for this afternoon its balmy weather in Glasgow !

No scraping required this morning at 7:30 and my temp gauge showed +1 leaving Bo'ness and +2 by the time I reached the big city. Not sure if the toxic bubble was helping - you know Bo'ness has a BP/INEOS driven micro-climate!!

With a touch of Broon Sauce.

Won't be an early inspection at the home of the Championees, just to give it every chance.

[Funkasaurus]

Quite mild in Ayrshire at 4°C and supposed to stay dry so games in that area should have a chance of being on. As for Campbell park i'm hoping it's on but it's took a battering the past few weeks and has been cut up quite bad and with this being the 4th home game in a row for Saltcoats i've no idea how the ref will call it. Derby game against Ardeer so hoping it's not called off for the 2nd time (first time was a disgrace of a decision)

It's nothing to do with the dressing rooms, there are more than 2 at Petershill Park, it's just to allow the two teams for Rossvale's match adequate time ( a clear hour) to do a proper warm up.

In regards to Hannah Park, I'd heard that there is a disease in the pitch which had caused massive drainage problems, maybe Adastra or Flying Shottsman can enlighten us? Shame, as Hannah Park has been one of the consistently best pitches over the years.
