buddies1877 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Theres been at least two inches of snow landed in my back garden in three hours, what are you expecting? Theres still three hours until kick off and the snows getting heavier.Are you that thick you can’t read.What I expect is a bit of effort to have at least the pitch cleared of snow I’ve seen pictures there was zero effort unlike Brechin fan who at least made an attempt fair play to them proper bunch of fans.

buddies1877 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 let's see the pictures then. As I’ve said before fair enough if police call it off for safety fears outside the ground or because the pitch is flooded. Where the covers? Effort from ground staff and fans to clear the pitch?

FTOF Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Nothing to do with the pitch mind you. Quote This afternoon's Ladbrokes Premiership fixture with St Mirren has been postponed following an 11:45AM pitch inspection. The pitch has become unplayable due to heavy rain followed by snow which has left areas of the park waterlogged. With no improvement in the forecast for the rest of the day the referee has decided to call off the fixture. There were also concerns regarding the safety of spectators due to snow in the car park and surrounding areas in addition to road conditions for those travelling to Perth. Update on the rescheduling of the fixture will follow in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. No-one makes an effort to get games against the wee saints on. Why should we? (That said, I'm about to be dragged around Cameron Toll. Steve Brown really is a tight-fisted c**t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove past the ground on my way out-pitch is blanketed in snow, as are the car parks. The road in and out is thick with slush. The road round the back of the north stand and on to the A90 is 15mph tops and even then ropey. Looks to me like the pitch hasn’t been covered but regardless, they’d have to have it uncovered by now in any event and given the current weather and forecast for the rest of the day I doubt it would have been much better by kick off. It’s an utterly shitty day which would have likely produced an utterly shitty match in shitty conditions in front of a shitty crowd. Hopefully we can get it rearranged for this midweek... Quite evidently a picture of a slope. Insufficient evidence. Tinpot club still stands. Then you've got Sean Batty a few posts up claiming there is heavy snow due until 7pm. Tinpot indeed.

And all that snow has landed in 3 hours, and the snow has gotten heavier. Covers cant be laid for the final two hours before the match. Under soil heating is redundant as it just melts the snow. We could've slogged and cleared the pitch at 12, by 2 it would be exactly the same, while the roads and motorways get worse. The statement from the club confirm that. Continue bleating about it though, maybe make you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, pot and kettle. We'd probably have brought close to a thousand today, and there was a family bus coming up given St Johnstone's excellent family prices. Kids have been looking forward to it all week and I'm now sat in a soft play. FFS St Johnstone, it better not be rescheduled for a school night.
