stevie Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Having seen the state of the pitch when they played the dhims and the amount of rain in the last week or so i think the game is a cert to be called off.Better that than risk playing on a dodgy pitch.

Victorian Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 that would be a pity for the fans but it might be a help to the team. they deserve a rest after one hell of an effort over the past 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyCropper Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 SFA GTF. They have done this on purpose because we are picking up form. A cert to be called off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 No games at this level should ever be postponed. You can't account for monsoon weather conditions. If it was a frozen pitch then I totally agree but waterlogged pitches after the rain that's been going about are pretty much unavoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 3 months into the season and their pitch is 'unplayable'!total joke.its not frozen etc, it's just rain!fine them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Put a cover on the pitch and then simply brush the water to the side of the pitch no? I'd imagine the gale force winds would put a stop to the cover. I don't know how complex a waterlogged pitch is, but I'd imagine if you could just brush the water off it then they would do that.

WavyGravy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hope it is on. We're flying and they're wobbling after a decent start. But lets be fair, we had to call a game off due to a traffic jam!!! If the pitch is a bog then its not going to suit our style (god I sound like a Hobo!!!!!!). You cant legislate for pissing rain.

andy-y Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 So if the game is called off it will be penciled in for Wednesday night? Kyle will have to pull out of the Scotland squad for Tuesday I hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavySlaveJambo Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Now 9.30am. Weather forecast for Perth, dry all day today and tommorow, no sign of a severe weather warning anywhere in scotland, and Gales will dry of the pitch. And the traffic jam call of was because Kilmarnock were stuck in said traffic jam, which was really the M8 becoming a car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Does any one know what time the u19's kick off? Probably head to that if the first team's game is called off. 1.30pm, i.e. later than normal to allow Aberdeen to travel down at a reasonable hour. I suspect that there may be an inspection required at Riccarton too as the U19 pitch doesn't have the best drainage, although they may be able to switch to another pitch.

Paulie Walnut Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Any pitch that has a full time groundsman should never be waterlogged even in heavy rain conditions. They have many options and equipment available to them to drain a pitch. If the game is called off i would sack the groundsman personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjh1874 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Four heavy defeats on the bounce and due to face an in form team.................don't think the groundstaff will be overly zealous in their care this week-end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine the gale force winds would put a stop to the cover. I don't know how complex a waterlogged pitch is, but I'd imagine if you could just brush the water off it then they would do that. Not being an expert but I guess it would depend on how much rain fell on the covers whether they could just brush it off to the side, as it would need somewhere to go to as the park is a hell of a lot bigger area than the sides.

portobellojambo1 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Think the inspection has been put back to 09:30, which might tie in with the fact they are expecting rain in Perth at around 09:00 this morning (they may want to wait and see what affect that has on the present state of the pitch). Suppose we'll just have to wait and see what becomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsThug Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 No rain during the night up here in Perth. There are a few dark clouds at the moment but it doesn't look too bad so I'm confident the game will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't rained last night so if the game is called off the SFA should throw the book at the feckers for having a crap pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the windae cleaner Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 should be fine . not rained all night ... small chance of a light shower then dry all day if the groundstaff cannot handle a light shower in 24 hours then they should get the boot imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It baffles me how it's even in doubt. They have played 6 home games ffs! Just from reading this thread, it seems it's because of the huge rainfall in the last few days, and has absolutely nowt to do with the amount of games played on it.
