Bold Rover Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Rovers took only 2 points from the last 3 games - against the 3 teams below us. So confidence cannot be high going into this one, facing one of the season's success teams. Are Queens due a reverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sounds like there could be a bit of doubt over the game going ahead, but hopefully the park holds up. Hoprfully we'll have a full defence to pick from this week after having to change the system last week. Now six years and counting since we last won at Cliftonhill. Don't think we've even drawn in that time, albeit we've not always been in the same league in recent years. Law of averages surely means we're due something! Not expecting a classic. Think a no score/low score draw could be on the cards, which I'd probably take given our recent record at Cliftonhill. However, like most games in League One, any result is possible.

attendant Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If game off then doubt Breach in will be played on Tuesday ,hope it goes ahead been a while since we came away with anything from Rovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2304 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well the tables have turned since the last time Queens came to Cliftonhill. Unbelievable to think we are only 4 points away from 4th place, feels like we haven't won for months. 3 points is an absolute must.Won't make it due to work. Sunny in Coatbridge at the moment but rain due overnight I believe......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridgeofweirdo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Realistically what are the chances of this going ahead with an overnight frost forecast and the remainder of snow from Thursday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless anyone on here is a qualified meteorologist and groundsperson then I doubt you'll get much of a scientifically accurate response. Best just to get up tomorrow morning and if it's off then still go to the pub anyway. Then tell your other half the game was abandoned late second half, in case she questions why you're heading there again some midweek ( works for me every time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost 2 of our last 4 league games conceding 8 goals....so I'd say no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could stick with your plan and have another night out for the postponed game that isn't happening either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekasule Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 pitch was fine today - all depends on what happens overnight now. flashbacks of helping clear the snow off the pitch a few years ago ( with an almighty hangover) what a task that was - was a jump start to our promotion.

Bring Your Own Socks Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Ridiculous. Every weather forecast predicting at least 3 hours dry before kick-off. Why a 9am inspection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a club like Rovers should be using 4G. Or is it a dastardly tactic by the club to get midweek games when travelling players are weary from a days work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
