biggayal0 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 think its time for both clubs to agree to play the game at perhaps Inverness Cally or Aberdeen if they cant play on Wednesday, cant keep going on like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 According to the BEEB, Inverurie Club Officials are "not optimistic".... Cup tie hit by third postponement Inverurie's Harlaw Park pitch was deemed frozen and unplayable Inverurie Locos will not be forced to move their Scottish Cup tie against Motherwell from Harlaw Park despite it being postponed for a third time. The pitch was ruled frozen and unplayable after a 0900 GMT inspection on Monday and the teams will now attempt to play on Wednesday evening. Club officials are not optimistic ahead of a 1400 GMT inspection on Tuesday. A Scottish FA spokesman said: "There is no cut-off point in the regulations as such - no finite attempts allowed." The winners of the fourth-round tie, which was first set for Saturday 10 January and has a 1945 GMT kick-off on Wednesday, will have a home match against St Mirren in the next round of the competition. Only if it gets to the stage where it looks like we will never get the game played, will we step in Scottish Football Association spokesman There are two other provisional dates set aside before the game between the Highland League hosts and their Scottish Premier League visitors clashes with the fifth-round weekend of 7 and 8 February. "There will be an attempt to play the game on Wednesday night," said the SFA spokesman. "If that is not successful then we move to the following Monday and then the Wednesday. "If it has still not taken place by then, it will be played on the Saturday of the fifth round. "There was a precedent last year when Rangers played a round behind because they had a back-log of fixtures, so that is not a problem. "We will be speaking to the two clubs today. But, only if it gets to the stage where it looks like we will never get the game played, will we step in. "But we are nowhere near that point yet."
