You might be right that the financial side of things came into play. But playing a football match is hardly “no reason”. It’s literally the purpose of a football club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got £150k off the Government. There's more than £60k sitting in the Go Fund Me account. 2 days of undersoil heating would have cost around 400 match subscriptions. So let's stop this pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawfield shed boy Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wasn't that long ago fans were complaining we should have a better record against the old firm. Today we have fans accepting we shat out of playing Clyde. Well said mate. Game could have been called off at 230pm if necessary..Yer Mithers Pride[emoji1267] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still money that doesn't need to be spent. The game can simply be played some other day. It's not like we've a huge backlog with a two-legged UEFA semi-final approaching. I'd be saying the same were the shoe on the other foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams just get to pick n choose when it's best for them to play their games now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then we'll take our punishment and see if it was worth it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we phoned Clyde/the SPFL last night and they were fine with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all the teams in the league can ignore the seasons fixture list and decide as and when they want to play their games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan57 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Would we be liable for any kind of punishment for this? Not like ots some freak unforeseen dip, so it's pretty obvious we just didn't switch it on last night. Any other club stupid enough to do it to us would deserve it so don't see why this would be any different.They would be fining just about every club in the country. Livingston postponed their game during the week and their must’ve been at least 6 games off today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Livi and the 6 home teams today make a decision to deliberately make sure their games couldn't be played? That's quite an accusation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sadly We are also skint, but not skint enough to put the heating on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 You could’ve just got Manpreet to lie on the park last night. That would’ve covered it from the frost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALJAGS76 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Not every team has invested in undersoil heating, it's not compulsory and we have the choice to switch it on, or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
