CITY1974 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Do Aberdeen pay us rent for youth games ? Could nt we invest that money in helping buying decent covers or help towards them ? In all fairness it was rock solid all day ...We re not the first team to have a game postponed and won t be the last As for Forfar of Div 3 fans gloating we could beat you on any surface any day .....That's if you're lights don't go out ...................

theycallmetrinity Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Who'd want a plastic pitch anyway. It only brings relegation. Just ask Alloa,Forfar and East Stirling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Team in Angus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I think an explanation is due to the fans as to why this happened yesterday it was forecast there was to be frost and quite honestly it was not that hard, Really all a bit embarrassing for Brechin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 This isn't a critism of Brechin specifically and is more of the summer football campaign, but I hit a point last season where I could no longer be bothered with winter football. Would maybe be ok if I had at least one travel companion, but just got sick of having to leave early on matchdays worrying if there'll be a game to go to with the risk of spending another day travelling about myself, finding some pub to try and engage some random in conversation or going to some junior ground out of sheer desperation.Can't make many games due to work and other commitments at the moment, but yesterday was one of those days where I was free but saw the garden covered in frost and (very thankfully) thought "played this game before, f*** that". Even if 11am pitch inspections pass, I need to leave home before that, otherwise it's a case of a few hours public transport travel, time for a quick pint, match, head home. Not a particularly great 'fun:cost' ratio tbh. Random fun fact: If limited to public transport, door to door travel times to Brechin and Inverness from my house in Aberdeen are roughly the same (there's a particularly annoying 45 min wait for the Brechin bus after getting off the train in Montrose).

Not a particularly great 'fun:cost' ratio tbh. I sympathise with your situation but in fairness last season was fairly trouble free as regards the weather. I can't recall many ( if any ) times that our games were in doubt. Summer football though isn't exactly as it seems. The season would be ending in winter and as you can see winter can come early. I don't think there is a simple solution to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Team in Angus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 every morning that there has been frost this week I have put this flimsy magnetic sheet on my windscreen to keep frost off it works perfect so what are the covers made off at the glebe a pile oh auld Brechiner's this game should have been on if simple precautions had been followed, but as has been said maybe game being off suited us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had to close the course due to adverse conditions there was always at least one phone call to the club from an irate member asking why the course was closed as his back green is fine !!!

So with your experience in green keeping why did the covers not work the frost was not that hard or did they in fact put the covers down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
