lorenzo71 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Awful Dyslexia or ripping off Fawlty Towers i'll continue to follow microdave's request of silly misspelling. Rovers fans take no offence BTW ...you're my 2nd fav club and Cliftonhill one of my fav grounds.Really want you to stay up by hook or by crook. Anyway , any chance of this going ahead?I'd call a pitch inspection now or move the game to the Bahamas.

microdave Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Groundsman Jim Paton will be working on the Dumbarton Football Stadium pitch today, and with the weather forecast looking reasonably promising, there is hope that the game will take place tomorrow. Not 100% sure about this at all. The forecast is for very little let up in rain from now until Saturday night. If it does go ahead, Wallace, Wilson and Gemmel will be missing. https://dumbartonfootballclub.com/dumbarton-looking-to-return-to-action/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorenzo71 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Probably the forecast for the bahamas .If this is off we are going to have a pretty big fixture pile up in April.Great for a promotion push. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The met office forecast has only two periods of a couple of hours where rain is likely before kick off. And one of them is only 50%. So I'd say its fair to say that the forecast is reasonably promising 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the picture forecast there isn't much likelihood of rain although their hour by hour bit on the same page says there is. Telly forecast says there shouldn't be much, just the odd shower 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbarton Rock Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's been dry most of the day, not sure if he has anything that will help to get rid of the ruts the tractors front wheels left. Could be a farce if it goes ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor mcdade Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Bbc weather saying light rain is the forecast. If that calls it off then we would be as well folding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 You'd be hopeful of the game going ahead. Weather hasn't been particularly bad yesterday or today. The B game being postponed also gives it an extra day without a game on it, but if the tractor has cut the park up badly when they were vertidraining then it may be better if the game doesnt happen. Although I'm not sure what we could actually do in terms of repairing the pork over the next week or two? A title chasing team deserves better than this shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Honestly sick of the pitch discussion(s). What a stupid thing to be held back by when going for the league title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a fair whack of heavy rain during the night last night where I work and there was a lot of big puddles on the roads and in the fields driving home this morning. I reckon we’ll need it to stay dry between now and kick off to have a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
