parsforlife Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Unless there's puddles somewhere that the photos don't show that's an utter joke. Ref doesn't fancy being abit cold IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Good decision. We are absolutely rancid when it's cold, wet or a bit windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Of course it is. We have the capability of dealing with rain. Huge if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge if true Unfortunately our pitch is now waterlogged after a decision was taken not to close the stadium roof. The board felt we currently cannot afford to have an extortionate electricity bill.

Stellaboz Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Probably due to the massive fines we have paid for racist abuse and homophobic behaviour. In short, this is the fans fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 2nd April is probably the most likely for this I would think.Not great to go 3 weeks without a game but at least Ayr are in the same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Grass round here doesn't look too bad so can only assume there are massive puddles that the referee thinks can't be shifted with snowshovels or by forking the soil underneath. It surely wouldn't just be the United boys crying that it's a bit cold for them and a relatively inexperienced reg deciding to let them get back to the warmth of the dressing room.

Granny Danger Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 If that was the first pitch inspection of the day then it’s fucking disgraceful. Got as far as Kinross before hearing the news. Saw three separate crashes on the road back all of which looked like single vehicle incidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Why isn't there a rule that prevents fans travelling? It takes x time to travel so have the pitch inspection at kick off minus x time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black and White Tragic Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Why isn't there a rule that prevents fans travelling? It takes x time to travel so have the pitch inspection at kick off minus x time. Kick off at 3. Takes 45 minutes to get from Dundee to Dunfermline. Double it. 1hrs 30. Plenty time to stop away fans leaving. If they were going to the pub they can bevy for longer, win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely it and isn't complete nonsense. 16 minutes ago, D.A.F.C said: Why isn't there a rule that prevents fans travelling?

It’s not ideal and it wouldn’t have been ideal if the game had been at Tannadice and Pars fans were inconvenienced. More importantly, what happens to all the steak bridies?

It's an inconvenience, I got to the ground when I found out as left house at 13.40 and missus had me pickup groceries when found out match off. I'm more out of pocket than a round trip to Dundee.Anyway, that's karma for the time we came to Tannadice and match was abandoned nearly 30 years ago and we had to pay again. Karma never forgets.
