Might just have something to do with volume of rain over time ace. For someone with a poundshop PhD and a B in English you came across as being as thick as shit rather frequently. Time for the professionals in white coats to carry you off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Have to confirm it sometime today if it's Tuesday surely. Will Morton be seeing Tuesday as a benefit to them to agree to it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Pitch was playable at 10.30 , so having covers on would have made zero difference, the rain was pouring down when ref done inspection , he needs to make decision based on current and forecasted weather , not happy but at time that was correct decision , pitch inspection taking place at another 3 grounds , 1 just called off and a Premiership club is looking 50/50 with 12.30 inspection Can the covers not have been put on before and after the inspection, and taken off at the last minute (so to speak, as i know it takes time).It seems weird that we've had games off waterlogged when Somerset was always pretty good for draining over the years.In saying that, ibrox can't get a game on so what chance have we got?Is there any grass pitch anywhere remotely west coast ish getting a game on today? Queens Park at Hampden the only one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time to lay and remove covers before inspection today , needed to stay off yesterday to dry the pitch , takes about 4 people over an hour to lay , then ref needs all covers removed for inspection , again nearly an hour , also look at rain since 3 pm it would have been abandoned, which is much more of an inconvenience, the worst of the weather is in West Scotland and I believe Hampden is only grass pitch on in that area 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm still all here for the notion that the five metres of pitchside track between the playing surface and the terraces is seemingly capable of draining all of the water from the pitch itself, which has ten times the total area. who know that putting grass onto a pitch suddenly reduced its ability to hold water by so much! Still, highly embarrassing for a club in Scotland to have to postpone a game held during the course of the worst storm to hit the country in a decade. It's almost unprecedented for games to be called off in winter in Scotland, probably due to the mystic water-evaporation properties of the humble plastic sheet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would have been unlikely anyway. The 25th suits me much more... Maybe not the players though... I make that 8 games in 4 weeks (22nd Feb to 20th March). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect we might need them at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your claim that Sir Robert Madden based his judgement of the park on future weather forecasts is just nonsense. With the exception of serious, danger to life warnings becoming active later on in the day, there is no scope for a referee to call a game off based on future, forecasted conditions. Your park was quite simply too shite for Sir Robert Madden to allow any game to take place today; these are facts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
