ross_co87 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Really embarrassing that after another relativity okay week that the pitch is unplayable more than 24hrs before kick off. Hurlford need to sort their pitch out. Surely they have to have a back up available for next week be it a good enough local grass pitch, a decent 4g like Largs or Newlandsfield. Makes a mockery of the Scottish cup. It pished dwn in killie all week yday has been the only dry day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepiyo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 And your point is caller , what do you want done ? Do you wish to bring a grievance ? Is there a rule been broken? I'd make one hell of a caller if i got going pal, just find it odd and wondering what circumstances are different in this occasion? pretty simple really.

Garden City Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The Semi Finals ,IMO,should still be played at a senior ground on a Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Bing Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hurlford beat us fair and square in the last game but the park was terrible. These guys have to play on it most weeks so you have to take yer hat off to them. I think this Hurlford team have the effort in them to win the cup.

fan of the juniors Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The Semi Finals ,IMO,should still be played at a senior ground on a Friday night.The senior teams fees were becoming unsustainable so the decision was made to change it to 2 legs. Personally think it's a great idea although we haven't experienced it as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan of the juniors Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 They tried to vertidrain the pitch today if anything it made the surface worse , you more than anyone know how shit the drainage is , and in my opinion the Talbot game shouldn't have been played but it was , as has been already said it was the match ref who has called it off. As for the auld guy that said this or that either leave it alone or make a grievance . Auld guys are auld guys they know everything We played the week after Talbot & some of the park was cutting up but all in it was decent all things considered . Having seen some of the issues we've had this season I can fully empathise . Ford would have been desperate to play this but if the park wasn't playable earlier it definitely won't be tomorrow morning . So fair play in calling the early decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any advance on getting the drainage gravel pits dug in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd one at Rugby Park was a lot better & know what your saying but when half the match takings going for hire of the park it makes sense to play 2 legs . Imagine there will be over 1000 at Bellsdale tomorrow & depends how the 1st leg goes it will be the same at Abbey Park next week . Add on hospitality , food sales etc then it's a no brainer . Even with the gate getting split 3 ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the gate getting split 3 ways With this game being off I'm sure a few will head to bellsdale for the other semifinal (assuming it goes ahead rating in Beith now) so might be a bigger crowd than was expected.

clash city rocker Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Every other round is one game so should the semis. Two legs diminishes the occasion. If 1st leg is 6-0 , 2nd leg is...pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFW Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I doubt I'm not the only Talbot fan hoping we get league games the next two Saturdays as well, and a decent return out of them. Every cloud.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onemanwolfpack Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Remember a few years back Holm Park was deemed unsuitable for Clydebank to play a semi final tie, ironically against Pollok. Why hasn't Blair Park been looked upon the same way. The pitch at Yoker is in better condition the only difference is Hurlford has terracing on all 4 sides of the park.

ex-german exile Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Is it or is it not against the rules to have an inspection the day before the game? This morning's inspection was carried out by the sjfa appointed match referee Craig Napier, so I'm guessing that its not against the rules. I could be wrong though!
