As per last week we require the following help to make Saturday?s game happen:

Thursday 31st December - 10am ? Volunteers required to remove snow from the stands and the pathways

Saturday 2nd January - 8am ? Volunteers required to remove snow from the pitch

Without help the game is in danger of not going ahead so we need as many people as possible. If you can help, please contact Tabitha Walker and give your name either by email [email protected] or phone 01463 227453

We have a supply of plastic shovels and wheel barrows but if you have your own, please bring them down.

Thanks very much in advance for your support

p.s. Hot pies, tea, coffee & juice will be provided

The Hogmanay Party in the Northern Meeting Park has been cancelled on the advice of the Police:

Due to the conditions underfoot and on the roads. If this weather keeps up, the police could take a similar view for the game, let's hope not

:(

I doubt very much that the game will get the go ahead .

Lots of people were certain last weeks game would be cancelled....and it wasn't.

Volunteers needed on Saturday? Have they re-covered the pitch?

The forecast is for the thermometer not to rise above freezing for the next few days and with the gritters being off the roads I just cant see the game getting the go ahead from the police .

What time on Saturday is there likely to be a pitch inspection which I assume there will be

I reckon the pitch will be playable , the problem could well be the state of the roads .

How many tractors are expected to cross the Bridge on Saturday?

If they have snow ploughs in front of them... the more the merrier! :(

Seriously... the thought of Ross County fans helping to clear the snow at TCS, as realistically requested by Darren in his press release, really caught the imagination of the BBC "dahn sarfh" who couldn't help but see the contrast between this and the unthinkable prospect of one half of the Old Firm helping out the other. It sort of injected an element of civilisation into Local Rivalry.

On the strength of this, ICT's snow clearing activities found their way on to BBC Scotland Radio and TV and also Radio 5Live.

Indeed it did Charles.

Undersoil heating is on and the pitch is in good order under the snow I'm told. Main threat to the game not going ahead on Saturday is a lack of volunteers.

I will go and do my bit.

And then they probably have to deal with compulsive whingers like Mr 23... such as folk with season tickets complaining that they couldn't benefit from the free tickets.

As far as I am concerned, this thread boils down to:-

* Darren's original request for help.

* Tabitha's follow up to that.

* And Alex's very timely and well worded reminder that the thread was conceived as a plea for help and not a discussion on the merits of volunteering.

As for MOST of the rest... well nothing surprises me on here these days.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Charles, that's the benefits of a traditional education...even when you're p1ssed on Hogmanay/New Year's Day you can still spell and grammaticise perfectly!

Very generous of you to say so but, to be honest, when I posted that I hadn't by that stage touched a drop! (That came later and is now wearing off!)

But hang on... anyone who can use "grammaticise" accurately at 2:53 on New Year's morning needs major respect! :music03:

See you down at the ground at 8am on match day. The pie and free coffee secured the deal but the camaraderie should be worth it alone.

If the snow stays like this I don't think clearing will be much of a help. Is anyone else fed up of the snow?

Me.

just heard the game is offffffffffffffffffffffffff

:002: , I was going to go down and help clear the stands too.
