The forecast looks like the mini ice age we appear to have entered not really improving. I'm caught here between not booking or booking train tickets up from Edinburgh for this one. I've got to admit that the 'well are looking like a decent outfit this season and the game will be a good test for us. Anyone have any idea about when a decision will be made on this fixture?

OK, surely game on this time.

Craig Brown got a boost yesterday with Well thumping Tangoman's Killie 0-3. This will be a difficult task for us, but with football starvation at a peak hopefully we can get stuck in like true underdogs and make a game of it.

Count me in.

'Well' fan here any official word on this mornings inspection?

Ooooerrrrr

Did not realise we were having a pitch inspection this morning.........(sunday)

I would have thought the pitch is fine, it has been clear of snow for a week or two. The earlier problems were the roads in the surrounding areas. There is a call for volunteers to assist to grit the car parks as there will still be plenty of ice there, but the thaw has begun and I would imagine this game will go ahead.

This thread was started with the original game in mind, maybe that was the inspection you mentioned?

Says on the S.F.A. site that there is an inspection today at 11 am

So it does.................

It's a pity our official site has no mention of it and only requested assistance to grit the car parks for Monday afternoon.

***note, it appears that the South (normally away) car park and the directors car park will be the only ones open. The North Stand car park is probably still badly affected by ice and the aftermath of this will be ankle deep water.

There is another inspection tomorrow at 10am.

According to the Motherwell website thepitch passed an inspection today by a local official.The inspection tomorrow morning will include the surrounding areas but it looks likely to be on. So see you tomorrow guys hopefully!

I am reliably informed that our local official - Feb 8th - declared the pitch playable this morning. Have to fecki win this as the next round will coincide with ma 495th birthday.
