Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-15873222 High winds could be a problem for the match on Saturday. Also does anyone know if ICT travel down on the day of the game or the night before? Forth Bridge might be a problem I'd imagine. It's been so long since the last home game, I will be really disappointed if this is called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think it'll be ok, RFC.... Hope so, missing three matches (possibly four if there are any delays) over Christmas when I go on honeymoon and with it being about a month since the last home game I am not getting a big enough fix this season. 70mph winds in Northern Britain... Hope they meant Northern Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 the potential for games to be called off is yet another reason why it's unbelievably stupid for clubs to be left without a home match for 4 weeks. if the extremely bad weather had hit right now as it did at exactly this time last year, there would have been the possibility of us being faced with a gap of about 6 or 7 weeks between home games. suicidal fixture planning. but what else would you expect in a circus act game?

washniklaw Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I know that ICT have previously stayed at Airth Castle Hotel the night before games in the central belt. They'll probably travel down after training today and head along the M9 a couple of hours before kick off. Unless something serious happens the game will be on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-15873222 High winds could be a problem for the match on Saturday.

Nucky Thompson Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've never heard of a game being called off because of high winds over 100 miles away before, in fact it's laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've never heard of a game being called off because of high winds over 100 miles away before, in fact it's laughable Glad it amused you, fair enough, doubtfull it will be called off then. It was just a question really, had it not involved a team traveling from the highlands and presumably over the bridge I wouldn't even have mentioned it.

jambogemz Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 100 miles away??. I live 2 miles from tynie and the wind and rain are atrocious. Not that the wind should have much bearing on it goin ahead unless there are safety issues with the ground. But 100 miles away? I think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not laughing at you, it's just the thought of it being called off. As someone else posted they would just have to take the long way round if the Forth bridge gets closed to high sided vehicles, it happens all the time.

Anyway, wind kills games more than rain and perhaps more games should be called off because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanny17 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Not sure why the OP is being mocked so much. It is a very valid point. The winds are supposed to be gale force, around 75 MPH in the Lothian's tomorrow by 1pm, so there is every likelihood the game will be off.

Anyone who has been uo to the training facilities at Riccarton should know that we should be world beaters when it comes to playing in windy conditions. Always blowing a gale there.

Seymour M Hersh Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Down to 40mph That's more to do with the prep work for the roads leading to the new bridge than the wind. It's affecting the M90 for miles up to the Bridge in Fife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game will be on, the weather's not forecast to be anything like bad enough in Edinburgh for it to be called off. Tomorrow afternoon at 15:00 the wind is forecast to be 25mph, gusting to 45mph, as per BBC 24hr Weather. Maybe not particularly nice to be out in, but nothing drastic.
