Hillonearth Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Combination of a couple of things I reckon. The climate's definitely changing; we're more likely to get short bursts of intense rain - like the inch and a bit in the space of two or three hours that did for ours on the Friday night a week ago. It also takes less for a game to be called of nowadays than it used to - a waterlogged patch of a few square yards will put it whereas that never used to be the case. ETA - St Roch's game is on BTW!

Spot on Hill. In recent times we'd have games called off at Brig O'Lea all because of a pool that would form on the far touchline in front of the shed. Luckily with Brig O'Lea being such a wide park it's given us the chance this season to pull that touchline in a bit and hopefully the water will now form off the playing area and give us a better chance.

We once had a game off because the side of the pitch was frozen and it was unsafe for the lino. I am not kidding , though probably the real reason was we had players injured :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 So Saltcoats probably managed to be the only game off in Scotland today ? The one time Ladbrokes don't change their dodgy price grrrrrrrr Renfrew 4/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
