Andy J Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 There's always a chance! That snow shower's just stopped so we've had maybe 15 minutes snow in total today. Game on at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory success Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yep, snow just started again...... I was on the pitch 30 minutes ago. They have a machine which brushes the snow and everywhere was green except the lines which were in the middle of being painted. I spoke to the groundsman who is heartily sick of the criticism that has been received about this tie and he knows just how much time and effort has gone into getting this game played with effectively volunteers doing much of the work along with help from Pittodrie Ground staff. When decisions are made about covers on, covers off they are made locally using local weather forecasts and knowledge of the pitch. Anyone who knows anything will tell you that putting a cover on a pitch that is already frozen is about as stupid as you can get. How come every punter seems to become a horticultural specialist overnight. Thee is a dusting of snow now with a sky that is full of it. I'm sure efforts will be made to ensure that the ties is played . There is probably not time for the pitch to freeze before and I dont think Motherwells balloon would have been of much use.

rory success Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 snow more like sleet although it is lying on the road, given the work done on the park I will be surprised if its greatly affected . Pretty sure it will be slippy enough to casue concern. TBH if i was due to head to Fir park Iwould be having second thoughts as you are goin into a snow storm. Gettin here might be OK but will Lanarkshire be open when you return.? rory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 How come every punter seems to become a horticultural specialist overnight.When you go through the season we had last year with our pitch, we all became horticultural and drainage experts.

rory success Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 When you go through the season we had last year with our pitch, we all became horticultural and drainage experts. TOO TRUE WEEYIN Heres a quote from the HFL website , not from a locos fan but another. ...is it factual ? Pot, kettle, black springs to mind over Motherwell's stance in this. The club's management would appear to have short memories. This time last year there were eight postponements at Fir Park in two months because of pitch problems there. And spare a thought for Vale of Leithen in all this. It cost them £8,000 and three fruitless journeys in the last round, nothing compared to what Motherwell have had to endure so far.

Catweazles ring piece Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Blowing a blizzard in Fife and the sky is grey. Not looking good up this way at all. Seriously, take care if your heading up to the match. Can't believe this match will go ahead in present conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 You wouldn't get it, imagine the whole Scottish season being delayed by a month?! Thats why we're waiting until 2035, global warming don't ya know. The central belt will be like a desert (if it isnt already ) Unless we build a stadium with a retractable roof . We do manage to get the occasional game on in September so could sometimes open it up if we oiled it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend getting 4-0 up and seeing the game out. Professional players trying to make a fool of semi-pro's might be a recipe for disaster for the remainder of your season. You still have a cup game on saturday to think about ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
