Alloa vs Arbroath

Alloa struggling with injuries, and the pump for a corner which normally floods mysteriously breaks. How convenient

We've had about 12 players since the start of the season! Indeed we were actually going to be stronger than last few weeks after getting a new player in yesterday. 

Pain in the arse though. I've been on a bus for 3 hours. Now 3 more and no game.

Pathetic, almost 20 past 1 to come to this decision , all weather pitch with a broken pump??
The pump isnt broken the drainage around the town is overflowing and the drainage in the park is overfull . the pump at the park is clearly working but the water cant go any where but come back into the park

It's bad rain but it's been a lot worse, pretty much every game will be called off if it rains ,

Massive game for Alloa with a couple of there best players out and this happens,

lol, some of the comments on here! If you have a look at today’s Scottish fixtures there’s a fair few games off, flooding isn’t unique to Alloa. Shame it isn’t on, could have washed those salty Arbroath tears away in the rain ;-)

Dundee and inverness are off and you expect alloa to have better facilities ? as for the conspiracists on here you may have a point , i have just seen Elvis walking suspiciously away from the flooded end. 

you guys should not need to fear an Alloa team with all players fully fit but it seems you do ?

Totally understand the frustration but this conspiracy stuff is deranged. The idea that we'd put a game off and end up out of pocket and with probably an unwanted midweek fixture is just daft. We've just picked up 4 points out of 6 without those players anyway!

Not convinced the club handled this as well as they could have, but it's not credible to suggest they wanted the game off.

Really unprofessional and total shambles.

A decision should have been made no later than 11.00 a.m to inform both sets of supporters - Arbroath FC will have incurred costs for this being cancelled to ( bus hire, staff costs etc ).

The procedure for making decisions like this needs to change - you can't have fans travelling to games only to find out 90 mins before kick off the game is off.

Whoever makes the rules and procedures for this needs to get this sorted - you can't treat customers or football clubs like this.

Not suggesting it was Alloa's fault - they are following the procedures, but the timing of making such decisions needs to be reviewed and quickly.

This from fans of a club that couldn't provide hot food or adequate working toilets on the opening game of the season.  Obviously irony is lost on them.

Nothing anyone could do about that though.

It's not the outcome here, it's that everything here should've been done earlier, the attempts to clear it and the decision.

Pretty poor.
