SaintMan Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I read on Stranraer Facebook mids have refused to play Stranraer for a second time on the 3G this weekend and game is going to be off. Surely this is not allowed and why is this? Shocking on Mids behalf especially with back log of games which happens in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neily1690 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Surely teams want games played at this time of year? Stranraer played a few games at 3g last year it makes sense, few year ago at wigtown we moved game to newtons 3g to get game played, player shortage doesnt seem to be issue as its 2nd time refusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintMan Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 I’m sure the 3G is registered to the league if stair park unplayable due to conditions / first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy XBoswell Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I don’t know the full story guys but says postponed due to pitch maintenance on SOS website therefore was it Mids or Stranraer that cancelled? looks like it was Stranraer if you go by SoS website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goalposts are a danger with the heavy metal frames just behind the posts, which should be in sockets. The dressing room is too far from the pitch according to the SOS 4 years ago when Newton Stewart was refused permission to play there when they had flooding issues at Blairmount or perhaps the dressing rooms were too far from Dumfries!!

What about Dumfries high? They are same distance or probably further away from the pitch the changing rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mids pitch is further away from their changing rooms than it is at Stranraer Academy. Stranraer played numerous games there last season so I would stay your argument is invalid.

SaintMan Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Think the dressing rooms being too far away is a poor excuse tbh as you have plenty of grounds away from the pitch such as Moffat and mids and tbh I’d say Stranraer is closer if not same as others and you can see the pitch clearly coming out changing rooms.

South man Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 It’s a complete shambles how mids can decide not to play a game when there is a pitch that’s registered for the Stranraer reserves to play on if stair park has issues. All this sos have changed their criteria is a lot of rubbish and excuses. Get the game played ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy XBoswell Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 IIs it possible Salty has a home job on this weekend and can’t make it OR Is he still on suspension and this will finish after the following weekend v Abbey Vale???

kenny18 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 What a joke. How can a team just decide whether they want to play a game or not? Stranraer have played a few games on the Academy 3G with no problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranraer have played a few games on the Academy 3G with no problems?As said above, presumably it suits Mids to avoid having the game this weekend. Will they be happy if it’s rearranged for a midweek evening at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom hacker Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Both teams need to agree to change of venue obviously suits mids not to play this weekend and take there chances a other day, league seem quite happy to postpone aswel so no real problem really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisDunn Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Many teams played at the 3G in Stranraer last year and this wasn’t a problem. Mids play home games on one themselves. For the pitch being to far from the dressing room...get a grip! It’s football we are playing here and we have a privilege to to do so. Me personally, I love the playing football and would do anything come Saturday or any other day of the week to play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
