bighusref Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 There should be some sort of contingency plan to allow an earlier inspection. Either referees should be in the city the night before to ensure they are there for an early inspection or some sort of local official should be allowed to inspect. Pain in the erse for those heading up, if you are going (as the guy further up proves) you will be on your way or there before 12pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Heaney Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 11.45 pitch inspection. http://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/index.asp?tm=2&nid=3764&cd=2011 Aye, just before I ahd posted my mate had txt me to say he had seen Billy Brown in Musselburgh and was told that there was an inspection but no time confirmed at that time. Frigging disgrace when you consider that at 10.30am the Hearts officials are only now hearing and that the inspection in almost 2 hours later. As another member on here was saying, Bonnyrigg Rose were able to arrange an inspection for 9am this morning, whats the problem with United take the same precautions.

Pain in the erse for those heading up, if you are going (as the guy further up proves) you will be on your way or there before 12pm. No reason why the pitch could not be inspected earlier - there are plenty of Senior Listed Officials in the Dundee/Angus/Perth area who could undertake this. Bet your bottom dollar that this farce would not happen if either of the Old Filth were travelling to Dundee for a match. Disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My bro not risking it as he would be leaving in 10 minutes! Why wasn't a local ref asked to have a look. As usual the fans suffer at the hands of the sfa! I think the game will be off given the crap drainage up at tannadice! Still ready to head up but won't leave until they confirm it as on!

alex plode Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Rangers travelled there through the worst of the recent snow to be told on arrival that game was off, should be a fine for this.

Exactly mate, part of the referee's job is to carry out the pitch inspection, and if the game is in any doubt then an inspection should be carried out at between 9 and 10 am to give fans a chance to avoid wasting money on travelling up there. Once again the fans are treated like second class citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall having to walk up a hill to get from the train station to Tannadice. Correct, it's not coincidence the local area is called HILLTOWN ( well close enough anyway ) I think a sudden deluge might be hard to deal with but there is maybe a problem with the base the pitch is laid on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 All the talk is about SPL reorganisation but in all honesty they cannot organise the proverbial p*ss-up in a brewery. Heavy rain was forecasted well in advance for this weekend. So why do clubs not have covers to put over the surface. Undersoil heating is no answer to rain. Secondly, why does the SFA not have a rule in regard to the inspection time in relation to distance that the away fans have to travel - and it should take into account that many fans travel by public transport/supporters buses. Not on the time it takes in a chauffeur driven limousine from Hampden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Uniteds pitch is a bit like murderwells has a crap slope to a corner and struggles to cope with rain , Was working nightshift just 2 minutes from tannadice last night been chucking it down all night , would need a sudden heatwave to change things cant see it being on , even if it is it wont make for a decent game .
