Word was that the club disagreed with the ref that time. I had travelled down the road for that game and was planning on coming tomorrow. By the sounds of things it's not worth buying train tickets and taking a chance. I did tell Robert I thought there was a game that was off then but I thought he would remember better than me!

Chairman has tweeted that even salting the park didn't work on sheet ice. If Alloa can't get a game on then it must be bad. Pain in the arse but grateful for a decision before I bought a train ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHM Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Prob not a bad thing,as we still have quite a few injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlichtie Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I sympathise with Alloa that they've been defeated by an unusual combination of wet then freezing conditions. It doesn't alter the fact that for a second Saturday in a row we've lost a game when weather conditions are perfect for football. With the accurate forecasts we now have , protecting the playing surface should surely be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if covers are only going to save 1% of all games when they are on are they worth the outlay? Second point is this is a community pitch used every night of the week. The rain happened on Tuesday (or was it Wednesday?) while the pitch was being used. The ground would still have frozen up as it has dropped to below freezing every night since. I don't think covers are a solution for a park like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if it is that cold, we will employ Lichtie23 to talk to the pitch. The hot air will get the pitch playable in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Not surprised, it becomes a health and safety matter if the pitch is frozen, last thing we need is another injury because of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Match off at Kirkcaldy. AND THEY HAD COVERS DOWN!!!!!
