It might be a beautiful looking day down here but the game is off due to a water logged pitch.

Gala and Cumbernauld both OFF, snowbound.

Games on plastic at Leith and Spartans EOS off, but Edinburgh Uni is still on thusfar? Surely not.

EDIT: Apparently so. Remarkable!

Nothing that a little helpers can't do to clear a pitch of a bit snow.

Can plastic pitches be cleared of snow manualy? I seem to remember that they can't due to little black bits of rubber.

[surely not! 552]

Think you're right- although if you clear it and lift the pellets then I imagine you can play the game then replace them afterwards?

Football played on grass for grass HJ but the artificial pitch is the future

[newcastle broon 2,207]

That's right he did Newky can't remember if that was last season in EoS or first in LL.

Ecbn said eos or ll Rab, think it was eos last season

Plastic pitches can be cleared of snow, including mechanically. Indeed here are shots of K-Park earlier. I've heard of it being done at Alloa and Gala as well, and no doubt elsewhere. Precise method/technique may vary according to specification, tbf.

Still dependant on manpower & suitable machinery, though.

Well I suppose least ye ken wi nae chance on grass

[HibeeJibee 8,661]

Oh for the days they'd break-out an orange ball and just get on with it!!

Aye, what's happened to that? I've played games this century at junior level where that's happened- why is it not an option any more? Would spartans astro have been too icy today? Don't imagine so, essentially just some snow on it. Put your boots on and get a coloured ball out.

I know Leith Athletic pitch didn't have a snowflake on it at around 2pm... Bunch of woosies.
