What happens for example if driving conditions are predicted to be terrible between Stirling and Perth for the travelling team ? Driving conditions wouldn't require a pitch inspection though. Have to say I am a bit surprised by early inspection. Weather forecast is pretty favourable with temperatures above freezing. I'd hope it would be on.

strichener Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Here is a picture of the current state of the pitch taken within the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah I have just been past myself and was surprised how white it is as it seems to have cleared most other places - even the the pitches next to it are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that when I was driving past the Hearty's pitch and was surprised to still see ours as white as it was. However, there are patches where it appears to be clearing so hopefully with it being a 1pm inspection we will get the green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boghead64 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I know it’s far too radical but why not just delay for 24 hours and play it on Sunday when forecast is 5 degrees surely better for fans than a Tuesday night ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 If it takes a stud, get the orange ball out. If it was good enough for the Lennox Battalion BB league in my day, it's good enough for the Scottish Cup, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOPFITTER Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 In this namby pamby politically correct heath and safety obsessed no win no fee society no referee will chance a game on a frozen icy pitch !!!At least it will give the players a wee rest for their promotion campaign, so not all bad [emoji968][emoji968][emoji968] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Judging by the forecast in Peterhead it looks unlikely a thaw is on the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now set for this coming Tuesday @7.45, do not see how this helps us as most of our players are from the central belt or further south. Not sure if its sheet ice that's on the pitch or what but surprized there seemed to be nothing done earlier to try & give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
