With an awful forecast predicted for Perthshire could the game be in doubt??

Pitch inspection at 9 am , i should know 5 mins after the decision is made,some one who works at the club is going to phone me, the decision will also be posted on the Dundee web site, i will post it here as soon as i know.The weather is fine in Dundee at the moment

9am inspection not much good to me and any others flying up from London. I'll be half way to Edinburgh by then. I suppose I can ring the ground from Edinburgh airport, and until then just keep my fingers crossed.

Made a few phone calls and this is the current siutation from my understanding

The pitch is very wet and soft under foot but the weater forecast is showing a clear night and a dry day for perth tomorrow which means the game would go ahead

IF the weather forecast is incorrect and there is rain tonight that game would be in serious doubt and if the game got the go ahead at 9am there would be hourly inspections just to make sure the pitch condition does not worsen

At the current stage the inpsection is only a precaution as it stands the game WILL go ahead but if there is more rain during the night the game would be in doubt

So everyone starting praying for a dry night and do the sun dance or anything just keep it a dry next 24 hours in perth

No rain just now, hopefully it stays that way all night.

"Rain rain go away

come back another day" :music01:

:music03:

that should sort it................game on.

Pitch inspection at 9.15, but pitch is apparantly playable just now!

GAME ON everything ok

Was just speaking tio someone at the club and the pitch as we all now passed the pitch inspection but this game is still in serious doubt if the rain starts again so we just need to hope for another dry 8 hours

OFFICIAL WAS OUT HAVING A SMOKE WEN I GOT THE CALL SO WAS FIVE MINS LATE IN POSTING

Phew.

Clear blue skies at the moment.

Clear and sunny in Glasgow as well, FWIW.

BBC weather forecast is for sun, followed by cloud at 12 noon and light rain at 3pm - cautiously optimistic!

As long as it stays clear until 3 it should be fine

A dry morning, but the leading edge of a frontal system will bring the first hint of rain by early afternoon, with heavier and more persistent rain looking likely to set in during the game. With a bit of luck the weather system might get held up on the M8!

well i hope it goes well for everyone going down, and have a safe trip!!

Captain Eric Paton has won the competition before with Queen of the South and spoke to the press ahead of this weekends final. He told them, ?It has been building up steadily all week and feels like a cup final.''

Does that mean some Dundee players did not initially think it was a cup final?

Lets hope its a dry night

Hope you didn't drink to much last night then and had a dry night?

Hi all

I'm a Dundee fan, been living in West Lothian for seven years after moving here from Ullapool. Been visiting your site occasionally this season since you've joined us here in div 1, and have to say I think it's pretty good. There appears to be a healthy mix of weird and wonderful individuals who use the forum, making it an entertaining read......

Anyway, looking forward to today's game, should be a close one. Both teams are capable of running up a decent win if they play to their strengths. Could go either way. Best of luck and hope you all enjoy your day out(not too much, ofcourse) :music01:

Hope it stays dry......light rain here at the moment

Hopefully we've learned to contain Gary Harkins this time round. How we deal with Griffiths could be key to our chances today.

Is it totally selfish to hope that it lashes down over Perth and the replay is rearranged for sometime during my leave?

Yes

Yes

Just as well I had that conscience by-pass when I went to sea then ;)
