LeedsPhil Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Any serious answer please? I'm intending to drive down-&-back from Aberdeen for this by skipping off work promptly. So an early shout whether the new pitch at Peffermill has withstood the rain or not would be good. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_GURU Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Weather in edinburgh has been ok over the last 24 hours . Tends to miss the bad weather the rest of central belt gets . With the drainage system in place I would think the game will go ahead . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Peffermill has always drained well - and the plans for the new stadium showed extensive drainage features. Plus they have full-time ground staff. There have been seasons in the past when the old pitch alignment never suffered a single postponement. This season their only postponement came on December 13th which was snow + freezing (only Spartans and Threave games survived - even Netherdale's 3G was off). So I imagine any threat would be snowfall or sub-zero temperature, rather than waterlogging. Giving the CSE Peffermill a phone-call at lunch might be a good idea: http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/sport-exercise/playing-fields/about/contact-us + Twitters: https://twitter.com/EdinburghUniAFC https://twitter.com/UoE_Club_CSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab B Nesbit Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Full Time 1-1. Stirling equalised just before half time. The home side were holding on a bit but a very hard fought point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
