NewBlue Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Maybe not looking great but we have started to thaw out a bit. Problem will be if it goes below 0 over night then it will be frozen solid. Still looking for help though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Get it on and played unless both clubs have a spare Saturday going. A midweek trip up there would be hellish for both players and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Presume having done it before the reason for taking the snow off it today is the time it takes to do this manually it would not be possible tomorrow morning before a reasonable time for deciding if it was going ahead or not. Are Clyde expecting to get a bag of cash or something for Christmas so they can change out their squad as a lot of their support seem to want to wait until a mid-week next year for the game to be played which in itself costs both clubs money.

NewBlue Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Just been past the stadium and the pitch is clear and the pavements, car park and roads around the stadium are thawed out. We are also getting some rain now so I think it is looking more likely that it will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gastropod Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Im about 3 mile from Balmoor and theres been a bit more snow here in the last hour ..Funny enough , i just checked the BBc weather and the temperature for Peterhead stays above freezing till about kick off time then drops..I think this will go ahead unless there is a big snowfall during the night..Hope roads on the way up are clear for anybody travelling from south..

blueone Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 No surprise really. Even if they got the pitch playable the surrounding roads and car park are horrendous after more overnight snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternapper Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Good that this was decided early enough to avoid folk starting to travel, looked possible last night as it had turned fresh but by morning there had been heavy snow. Oh well looks like bet the shovel out clear the drive & settle down to TV Sport for the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcuk Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Sensible decision as said even if the pitch is playable the traveling for the team and fans would be horrendous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Radio saying A90 north of Aberdeen is treacherous and I just nipped into town and the roads are awful. Glad they called it off. We tend to get a decent crowd on a week night so hopefully not be too big a hit for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
