BallochSonsFan Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If the Rangers game is on this Thursday then you wonder what damage it'll do to the park for Saturday? It's a farce that Rangers B are anywhere near our ground. It's a farce that they're anywhere near ANY ground, but if they're so desperate to force B teams into Scottish football then they should have to make provisions for their own B ground. Put some stands up at Auchinhowie and changing facilities for visiting teams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Should we just play back-to-back games on the 25th? 180 minutes to decide the title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we still have the Forfar game to be rescheduled. If Saturday is off, we could have a bit of a headache trying to fit them in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitedbino Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Better than last week with better communication, but have to ask the question now - can Dumbarton actually fulfil their fixtures? And if the answer is no, what's the precedent for shifting matches to another pitch that is playable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they should have their own ground to play on. Can they not use he same pitch as their woman’s team play on.

A repeat of 11th April 1972 when both clubs were going for promotion would be just fine. 5,000 at that one, probably a few less this time unless we get those temporary stands up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put some stands up at Auchinhowie and changing facilities for visiting teams. Whilst I don't dispute any of that, ultimately the presence of Rangers 'B' at our ground is down to a decision made by the Board of DFC or perhaps more likely the ownership of the club. On any basis of common sense, and looking at the postponement history of recent years, it was an arrangement prey to the effects of winter weather and so it has proved. At the root of it will be money, or an apparent lack of it, and for that reason I wouldn't be at all surprised if the game goes ahead on Thursday night. If it does go ahead and Saturday's fixture with Rovers is a casualty then Dumbarton are looking at a tight fixture list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women's team play at Broadwood now, but there's no reason I can see that the main pitch at their Training Centre (which has a covered stand) couldn't be used for the B Team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be inclined to believe that the club board are equally guilty when it comes to this particular bad decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoddyisabino Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I mean, given how much rain and snow the west coast has had the past day or so, it makes sense that this game is called off and the communication from Dumbarton has been much better 3rd time around. I struggle to see when this game is going to get played other than waiting until the middle of April or the Wednesday 29th. The game on the 25th is going ahead on the same day as Scotland vs Cyprus. I appreciate that this is at our bit but I think the statement the Albion put out about it was pretty fair if not a wee bit self-serving. But who isn't in league 2 eh I'd hope the 2 clubs wouldn't agree to play this return fixture on the day of ANOTHER Scotland game on the 28th - with Scotland vs Spain happening that night. I'm talking extremely selfishly here because I go to both Stirling and Scotland games - but it would be a real shame to have to make the choice between the Scotland games or the Stirling vs Dumbarton fixtures given what's at stake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
