Lichtie78 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hopefully Martin and Denholm are back fully fit for this game, will be a tough one. Astro should see the game on regardless of weather which is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 As always I hope for the return of the Holy Goalie. He was superb when we travelled to Alloa in July Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 All bookings on the pitch cancelled today because of a frozen pitch Ffs. Checking forecast and it’s above freezing all day today and all night, according to Met office. Chances of it being off? Has a pitch inspection been called?

The place will get salted probably but we'll see in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rubber crumb is just one giant layer stuck together that means the ground is very hard. There's maybe 3mm clearance on the grass so it doesn't look bad but when you stand on it, it is very hard. The run off areas with the old astroturf is just an ice rink especially by the main stand side corner flags. I reckon if Sunday's rain and higher temperatures was tomorrow the game would be on. As it stands another couple hours of sunlight might make a little difference but the main stand is already shading about 1/8th of the pitch so there are areas that won't thaw more until tomorrow morning.

Noone is in just so I doubt there'll be news on it tonight. My bet is the inspection will be called tomorrow morning after the grounds opened up at 9-9:30. I'm in at 8:30 so I'll go across then and see what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Scratch that pitch inspection tomorrow at 10am. I'm told that this will be the first time in 10 years that a game has been called off. We've never had a game off for snow barring the late blizzard against Morton in the 80th minute. The only game called off for fog was against Stirling Albion. Checked and that was 31st December 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 We had a game off against QoS at this time 5 years ago. Word was that the club disagreed with the ref that time. I had travelled down the road for that game and was planning on coming tomorrow. By the sounds of things it's not worth buying train tickets and taking a chance.
