The Moonster Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 When you think the worst thing that could happen with your weekend is the game being called off only for wee Frank to turn up and give everyone brain damage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 What was Dumbarton’s reason for turning down the request for the game to be played on Tuesday or Wednesday past, the same as Montrose v Peterhead???Was it a match stream subscriber issue??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we wanted to make it 1pm on Boxing Day, EF wanted it on a week night. So it defaulted back to 3pm. I don't really see the issue tbh. Boxing Day games seemed to be fine for every other lower league club - barring Montrose and Peterhead. And you'd expect more people to tune in on a Saturday afternoon than a Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mad how some consider a piss up a good enough reason to shift a game. I'm not surprised we've said no to a move, doesn't take a rocket scientist to see we'd get more fans watching, it's just backfired a bit with the weather, a bit like our delayed vertidraining of the pitch earlier in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not bringing it up as an issue, Dumbarton we’re within their rights to refuse any request, I was just wondering what the rationale was behind it, do you reckon there would have been more subscribers yesterday as opposed to a midweek night???It was probably just the puss-ache of travelling to Dumbarton on Boxing Day itself that initiated the request, it’s hardly going to Stranraer or Peterhead but you still are literally going from on the East Coast to on the West Coast with this fixture, but other Clubs did have further I think, Dundee to Dumfries, Ayr to Edinburgh for two, but if you don’t ask you don’t get I suppose!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 There's a surprising lack of Clyde fans here.We are too busy berating our own team to start on Dumbarton!I'm assuming it was cancelled due to McCluskey being injured again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon there would've been a bigger uptake yesterday than a midweek, yeah. Most fans would've been off yesterday - whereas if we play it on a Tuesday night in January sometime then you'll have fans who'll forget it's on and folk out at work. Yesterday was made for sitting in the house watching some lower league football. How many EF players actually live in and around Leven anyway? Granted we aren't near Edinburgh, but it's still an easy enough journey - especially with the traffic being quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Could the game have been rescheduled for today? Bank holiday in Scotland before folk go back to work tomorrow so likely to be plenty of people looking for something to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that some of lower league commentators have a deadline on a Monday afternoon in their proper job and would be struggling with the multitasking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for clarity are we on about journalists or commentators here? Walking on black ice has proved an issue for me today right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine not every player would be available to play today, especially guys who work for companies like C&G who most likely still work on bank holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
