Cass_Sba Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 They f@cked up trying to cash in. Get over it you didn't see all these posts when Shotts turned up at Linlithgow a few seasons ago and it was frozen solid with no chance of being played. Your whole management team couldn't believe your committee didn't call an inspection in the morning. It happens and you move on. No great for fans but it's not the 1st and won't be the last time a team takes the gamble for whatever reason. Players missing/ hospitality booked etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players missing/ hospitality booked etc Third time in less than a year for us - only a total of 760 miles for hee haw. And the difference is DNE knew the game would be off but needed the folk in hospitality. The Rose v Shotts game should have been played. It was only a tiny area where the asst ref was running that was "not playable". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the 1st member from Shotts too arrive at the ground and couldn't believe the area covered by the stand was solid. When your management team arrived they couldn't believe the decision and had a heated debate with your senior committee members in front of everybody. I can understand your frustrations if this is the 3rd time but I don't think any team would go out and do it deliberately. DNE could end up being fined more than the made from hospitality. Good luck when the game does go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexBestGoalEver84 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Having just seen the pictures, I cannot believe DNE didn't have the game called off earlier. To me it just seems greed has taken over. Shocking to have a support travel for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie n beans Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 DNE knew exactly what they were doing, failure to get in a local ref to inspect the pitch was a shocker because they knew what he would have said, it was all down to money with the 100 odd Linlithgow fans paying for hospitality. They should get the book flung at them as it's a lot of money we are talking about here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Your all pussies anyway. Used to play on far worse frost in my day. Also a summer bare pitch is just as hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck when the game does go ahead I agree with you on this - good intentions are all very well. The fact remains clubs should adhere to rules and if any doubt call for an inspection or at least liaise with their opponents on the situation. Shotts is 20 minutes up the road - so a decision could have still been taken nearer the game and still saved all the hassles caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsfanatic Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Linlithgow fans I spoke to had a great day at the hospitality. Some even wanted to do it again when the game goes ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
