Only one David Marsh Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Considering the money involved why didn't they get some heaters brought in to blow hot air under an inflatable tent covering the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Loving all the comments on here. The club did all they could to get the game on and it looks like a shite decision if it is just the one corner area that has called it off.Nothing more the club could have done and you're an idiot if you think otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Lowland League quality. Do the decent thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Not criticising, but it always seems to be a few patches in the corner that are the issue. Maybe could have left some cover over these areas for longer. Other than that, set a few of those tyres on fire. Job done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenLoyal Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Some pretty damning photos doing the rounds. Can someone who was actually there confirm that the pitch was absolutely fine, but that one corner was hard? If so, was it solid or very much playable?Are we likely to say goodbye to the tv money or will it still be shown on the 30th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground was soft, no frozen bits that I could see. I've been on the pitch 2 areas far corner High Street end & a strip parallel to 1he side of the 18 yard box where the payers warm up & grass thinner. The groundman cut the whole pitch after the covers up and worked on the corner at the high street end. The strip at Chapel Street firm but softening under the weather conditions and benefiting from falling sleet and rising temperature. With players warming up the firm areas would have loosened unfortunately the referee did not give a further time option in my opinion had he done so the game would be getting ready for kick of now. Quite a blow given all the efforts from everyone involved with the club with fans putting in a terrific shift I feel for those fans and those who made long journeys for a special occasion. A lot of energy & input expended disappointing to see a referee make such an apparently arbitrary decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Cowden Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Unfortunate that this is, it’s still not as bad as going up to Elgin after they gritted the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Oktober Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Given the physical effort over a sustained period from so many people & the financial expenditure especially to and who have travelled, including Director Neil Fente from Singapore I would tend to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwick-the-unbeatable Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Loving all the comments on here. The club did all they could to get the game on and it looks like a shite decision if it is just the one corner area that has called it off.Nothing more the club could have done and you're an idiot if you think otherwise. Remember when I warned you about this hours previous? The only reason you thick c***s are buying this is because you think there was no dialogue previously. My source (a Cowden board member, which should be obvious for anyone with common sense and proven by just how right I got this) tells me that it wasn't as much a discussion between the two clubs and the referee but the clubs and Premier Sports. As soon as it was agreed to host the game midweek on TV, the game was postponed. What? You've literally just confirmed your idiocy.Remember when I got it right and you got it absolutely wrong? Some pretty damning photos doing the rounds. Can someone who was actually there confirm that the pitch was absolutely fine, but that one corner was hard? If so, was it solid or very much playable?Are we likely to say goodbye to the tv money or will it still be shown on the 30th?This sums up Cowdenbeath FC. Where you should be talking about the next chance, you're talking about the next windfall. You've been relegated two seasons in a row, and then topped that by finishing bottom of Scotland's worst league twice in a row. Think about the TV money all you want, all it does is show you up for the fucking pathetic smalltime club that you are. Just die FFS. If it had been a league 2 game bet it would have went ahead !!!!Hahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahaga Given the physical effort over a sustained period from so many people & the financial expenditure especially to and who have travelled, including Director Neil Fente from Singapore I would tend to disagree.HahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahhahahahahahahahjahahahahahahahahhahahahahahBUTWHATABOUTTHEPHYSICALEFFORThahahahahhaahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velazquez Blue Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 V disappointing. Travelled after seeing Facebook Match day announcement at 3.30. Wasn’t aware of a pitch inspection announcement. Waste of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
