132goals1958 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 From a selfish point of view I hope its on as I can walk to the game. From a sensible and fair perspective if transport links prevent supporters travelling it should be called off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nny_ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It’s a yellow warning. If it’s upgraded to amber or red I’d imagine there’s a bigger risk of it being postponed. Sure we’ve played a game under yellow many a times before. Sure the powers at be will be in dialog and will decide what they think is best.

The Dundee fans! Plus up north is meant yo be worse so even just the actual Dundee squad getting there and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I remember playing fitbaw at the Gyle in the 80s it was Hurricane Davie stuff every other fortnight there in August 90 mph wind's, it was great if you had it behind you and you could shoot from 50 yard's but had to keep the ball on the deck playing against it Bye kick's often went out for corners, no wonder half my team smoked at half time, the referee's were never calling the game off until he was paid his £12 or whatever it was Fitbaw player's nowadays don't even get their shorts and socks dirty, the game's gone soft Edited January 22 by Howdy Doody Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Findlay Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 3 minutes ago, Back to 2005 said: Yup. Thanks again ScotRail. It's not a ScotRail decision. It's a network rail decision. They are responsible for the network as in the railtracks, electrical overhead wires, signalling and points etc etc. Due to the number of storms this winter and the high rainfall, there is more flooding than normal and the chance of landslips has increased immensely. They will quite rightly imho put safety above everything else, especially after the derailment at Stonehaven a few years back, where Three people lost their lives. The driver conductor and One passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Had a feeling trains being off ,have looked as buses but will decide tomorrow if not cancelled before then. Depends now if the police advise people not to travel unless necessary i guess . If there is doubt would rather they made a decision as soon as possible than wait until tomorrow afternoon as we know what's coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The days high for the wind is 50kph. No rain after 2000. If football gets cancelled in this country for that then we need to be thinking about scraping football for the winter or going indoors. It's colder, wetter and windier in the winter. Been like that all my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Caine Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I travel by train so am one of (apparent) 15%. Gutted but if the game does go ahead it'll be an absolute farce with the pissing rain and howling gale, so I would be raging to find my way there to watch what would turn out to be a lottery. Why is it tomorrow anyway? The other matches are on Weds or is it that the Docksiders are at home then?

joondalupjambo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 No trains after 7.00pm apparently so with that and the dangerous weather conditions has to be considered a risk, surely? Wait, safety and supporter transport issues versus making sure there is not a fixture backlog guess which way this will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think they should probably call it off, maybe around lunchtime if theres no hope of improvement. Lots of our fans travel from far and wide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
