Hungry hippo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 3 minutes ago, The new West End said: Definitely hosing down now !! Yeah, it is heavier now. Its a horrible day but if the game is called off there is no chance it will be due to a waterlogged pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgie_Rules Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, Sooperstar said: 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. Strong winds to start from 4pm. Doubt the forecasters have it wrong with their being a weather warning in place but may wait to see what materialises and call it off by 5pm.

Any time I’ve seen highlights of Dundee recently just about everything positive they did flowed through Beck, who looks like a good footballer. Now that he has returned to his parent club, I think their form will slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Torrance Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, dontkillbill said: I'd wondered about the tram - as long as there's space at Ingleston, and that the trams are running... The trams rarely get called off but if they do they usually allow tickets to be used on the Lothian buses including the Airport route. The Day tickets are always valid on both. Space shouldn't be an issue at the parking there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busbyfth Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We are pretty well sheltered from winds in the main......but this is where haveing corners filled in would make a huge difference. Excess rain spoild games - Excess wind totally ruins them.......50mph forecast for the second half - OOFF (it was bad enough playing on the pitch at the top of Drumbrae in 40mph winds - our goalie did well to get bye kicks out of his own box !!)

Jack Torrance Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 8 minutes ago, runnyg said: Driving from Aberdeen - should I expect any Queensferry bridge closure or delay ? They keep it open to high sided vehicles for up to 70mph winds, so you should be fine in a car.

cazzyy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, Jack Torrance said: You'd be in breach of contract. It's a myth that it's not legal and they could pursue it in court if you don't pay the fine. In reality though, companies don't tend to do that. The driver of the car would be in breach of contract, no need to tell them who was the driver at the time. Not the case in England where the registered keeper will be liable but it's not law in Scotland..... yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the world first environmental monitoring system that we've apparently had installed. "The stadium benefits from the highest levels of monitoring and data analysis available in the world, with live moisture levels positioned across the pitch to automatically collect data, including air temperature in the stadium and light levels for grass growth."
