Sooperstar Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) If it was going to be called off because of forecasted weather or a lack of transport then you would hope it would have been announced by now. The clubs themselves would be pushing for this as they'd want to be training if the match isn't going ahead. I think we can assume for now that there are no plans to postpone the match.

Failing that, there's usually places by Myreside. Bit of a walk down to the game though and, in this weather, not a great idea. Maybe park and ride and get a tram or bus from there?

Well no, games have been called off previously due to adverse weather affecting travel, snow on approaches to stadiums etc. Maybe not Tynecastle too much, but elsewhere.

We've not had any issues yet. 🤞 A few weeks back they just opened the gates on the way out anyway. If you time it right you can squeeze in a bite to eat beforehand within the 4 hours.

Wee Mikey Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We likely need to witness whether or not those barriers built up around the floodlights have any effect on wind at Tynie. I well remember sitting in section G and seeing the corner flag at the corner of the Roseburn fly one way, whilst the corner flag between Wheatfield & Roseburn flew the other way. Meanwhile, the rain was swirling and any ball above 10 feet could've gone anywhere. Tonight? Keep the ba' doon ... on the deck ... and beat Dundee at foorball.
