Kwaka Mal Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 34 minutes ago, Paco said: What’s the feeling in Forfar about this match being on? Looking at the forecast it looks pretty certain to be postponed. Highly likely as significant snow set to fall until Thursday evening, with snow showers on Saturday too, and the temperature hovering around freezing throughout. Not great conditions to be travelling in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah on the A90 I normally get in a rage when the Starks Park pitch is frozen but the bit of grass next to the A92 traffic cam at the Cluny flyover is playable.

Rovers1992/1993 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah on the A90 Lucky b*****ds. We’re buried underneath a couple of foot of snow here with a red weather warning and you can actually see Road through there.. Anyway, if this game ends up falling victim to the weather, we kind of need the Arbroath v Ayr game to, also. On the other hand, would be really shite as that would mean both Davo and Herron would miss the Ayr game through suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Davo would be a miss but its a case of slotting McKay in his place,more than competent.If Roberstsons out he,ll be more of a miss than Herron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Was meant to be heading up to Scotland today to work in our Scottish office for a few days but unfortunately all the trains to Glasgow were cancelled so I'm going to miss it in the very unlikely scenario that it goes ahead. I hope it does get postponed, not because I can't attend but because I don't trust our players not to f**k up in the conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honestmen Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Forfar 5/1 with Hills, huge price v a team who are low in confidence and rank away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't great away from home, but our away form is better than Forfars home form by 6 points. And despite chucking some points away, we aren't getting beat. Seems a fair enough price to me. Odds are based on form not low confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the board(s) would like the game to go ahead, but how many people will turn up? Could be a worse attendance than playing an evening match. Plus the risk of driving and playing in the icy conditions. They're still saying snow, strong winds and hovering about/below zero degrees, not counting the chill factor, up to noon on Saturday - https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/2649207 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofixedability Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Outlying roads are still terrible today, whether the pitch is playable or not the game should be postponed imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
