theshed Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I’ve no long left Perth and there was hardly any snow so can’t be a pitch inspection for snow surely 🤷♂️ Don’t they have covers to put over the pitch anyway?

theshed Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Honestly think St.Johnstone are at it here, firstly they don’t put any cover over their park knowing it’s to snow then rather than move the snow off the park they let it melt knowing it will make the park heavy going. Plus as I said earlier there wasn’t that much snow so even if it did melt it shouldn’t make pitch unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Over here in Fife the ground conditions are like the Everglades. Never seen so much water running off the slopes, Perth will be the same. I hope the ref gives the game the nod to go ahead though as we need to get over the dip in form asap.
