Fan321 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Do clubs or authorities consider this when deciding games are going to go ahead? Despite pitches being playable will they go ahead for sure? An example would be Brechin travelling to Glasgow, Partick travelling to QOTS etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre if true but may clear up this issue Brechin are based in Brechin although many of the players travel from the central belt. I think the concerns are for the fans travelling to the games.

Most Falkirk players probably won’t be travelling from Falkirk for games either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We are a #bigteam so we have a #bus to take us to away games. Brechin will have a bus too. We have a bus that picks players up depending where they stay and where the game is. A lot of your players will live in Glasgow or Edinburgh like a lot of nearly every other clubs players.

Hedgecutter Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think the concerns are for the fans travelling to the games. Indeed. Statistically you're going to get a few accidents if you invite 30,000 along in fairly nasty conditions. Not so much with 40 odd players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CITY1974 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 A lot of part time teams train centrally . Peterhead only train once a week at Forfar . Different managers at different times in they re clubs history s will change training facilities to suit .No point in paying 8 Glasgow based players to travel to Brechin twice weekly for trying when you ll slash costs by training more central .In days gone by teams used to train on they re own patch and further afield players would pop along to nearest club and train ie. Glasgow based City player s trained with Dumbarton. I remember East Fife palayers Stevie Lennox and Ray Charles training at Brechin . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Safety was the reason behind us having a home game against Hibs postponed. Despite the heavy rain the pitch was fine but the surrounding area was flooded including the main road into Greenock from the Glasgow side, and patches of the A8 were fairly deep too, so the consideration was down to travelling fans.
