Remember years ago a lot of games even in the top flight would have gone ahead in those conditions. Remember seeing Aberdeen playing a Belgian club with the Orange ball in a European Comp on a Wednesday night. As with most things now we make things hard for ourselves worrying about things that will probably never happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah I've played in the snow as a teenager, lots of sliding around, makes for fun goal celebrations (not that I scored any goals in the snow, didn't score many period) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one, sometimes think the sight of a wee bit of snow is enough to cancel games now, providing its not frozen under it leave the snow on the park if only a inch or so deep, clear the lines & get on with it. Remember being at Claggin for what was Peterheads last game of the season, we had the title won & it certainly would not have usually gone ahead as there were huge puddles all over the park, game got played we got our trophy & went home happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegedly. Judging by the many curiously snow-free roofs and the odd glow from some windows in the Planny, there's at least one other thing to do in the Fort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with most things now we make things hard for ourselves worrying about things that will probably never happen.The snow could also be cleared by a few volunteers/players if the park isn't frozen.Unfortunately the ground was completely solid. I woke up in Glencoe on Saturday morning and the temperature was -7 and it had been similar on Friday morning so I'm guessing it was much the same in Fort William. I was hoping to get along to the game but when I checked the forecast in advance I knew there was no chance of it going ahead. It appears they haven't had a home game since the 15th of December. That can't be too good for cashflow. I assume the players just get a peanuts appearance fee or travel expenses rather than earning a weekly/monthly wage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression they had a few guys who travel from Inverness etc (may well be wrong) so just assumed there would be at least some travel expenses involved for training and games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
