Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I can't see it Yes its minging weather and its days like today Im glad I chose to pick and choose games but any club who hasnt sufficiently protected their pitch and has to call off today should be severly punished. Talking of which there was talk earlier in the week that the huns had managed to forget to cover their pitch until it was too late and the game was in danger if weather kept up, not seen anything else about it since though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Crane Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It was absolutely foul in Glasgow last night but Firhill still managed to stage the Warriors v Leinster rugby match - mind it wasn't the greatest game to watch and maybe today will be a bit more scrappy than usual.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 heard of covers for the frost and snow but not for wind and rain Ok wind wont damage the pitch - possibly make the stadium unsafe I suppose unlikely and a cover along with sufficient drainage etc and groundcare would protect against rain to a degree, obviously not tsunami levels but if any SPL game is called off for this weather the club should be fined a 6 figure sum with a points deduction next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly right, the bridge likely to be closed to high sided vehicles so buses might not get here from Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Exactly right, the bridge likely to be closed to high sided vehicles so buses might not get here from Aberdeen. It wont get called off for that The stupid thicko sheep should have realised that - since its been closed to HSV for most of the past week - and allowed an extra 90 mins for kincardine bridge the only way it will be called off is if our stadium starts to fall down in the wind - not unlikely I suppose:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Exactly right, the bridge likely to be closed to high sided vehicles so buses might not get here from Aberdeen. They would be diverted via Kincardine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercrutch Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The wind is insane. There is a good chance it will get called off for safety reasons IMO. Any sign of any structures/signs flying about and the Police will can it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Winchester Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Not sure what its like at Gorgie but up at Riccarton just now it's wild. Been a while since I've seen wind like this. Dont know about it getting called off or not but I can see the Aberdeen end being a bit emptier in the first half than Hearts where expecting if buses have to get rerouted through Kincardine.

Rawrrrrrrr Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Would they call the game off if the bridge was to be closed or delay kick off? Must be a real issue of happening as the winds are awful and getting worse and bridge is already at 2nd highest phase of closure (65mph winds), if it reaches 80mph its shut altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
