an86 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Anything less than seven and Roberts' position is untenable. In all seriousness, a very tough game against a side who had a good result against a good Edinburgh City side. They also showed what they can do in front of goal at Hampden. We've rightly enjoyed Saturday, but it's important not to get carried away. Any points on the road are decent ones. If we can go out with the same intent as the last two weekends, we're capable of getting something from the game. Last Saturday from both sides suggests there should be goals in this one, so I'm going for 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon9736 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 City have played well the last two games and on that basis I'm going for a home win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this looks highly likely. Hopefully they're sensible about it and call it off before anyone has to get out of bed unnecessarily on a Saturday morning.

Aye, better that than getting home at 2am on a Wednesday morning some time in the future.

They did use hot stones earlier in the season but they were deemed unacceptable by the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pitch is rock hard on Friday night after a week of icy conditions and it drops below freezing, as it's meant to, it's highly unlikely to be playable. A Tuesday night would be brutal, but an early call off would be sensible if it's obvious the pitch isn't going to be up to it. Will be genuinely amazed if it's on with a tropical - 2 being the warmest night time temperature between now and then. Down at - 6, tonight.

Bring Your Own Socks Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Would be a shame to lose the slot. We’re on the gallop and they’ve just sold their star striker. The momentum might be lost when we finally play. It happened a few years back against Brechin when we were flying and by the time it came round we’d lost the beat and they were marching to promotion.It’s poor form though that Elgin can’t take some action to get the game on.

We have covers but obviously they need to be put down before the frost starts and I didn't see the club asking for volunteers, so highly doubt that they were put down before the frost started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely to be an early decision then though Saturday looks to be improving. Ever the optimist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If they have covers and know they can save the game if they put them down in time, hopefully they've done that. Probably rattled by our 7 goals last week and shaking in their boots! Who can blame them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy's Ghost Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I'd be surprised if this is on tbh. Prolonged freezing overnight weather this week and even if the sun comes out during the day there is part of the pitch that is shaded for most of the day in winter and this tends to be the problem.
