Well feck me, with the snow arriving i thought we better have a thread on whether the Ayr game will be on/off.

Looking out of my window, its now stopped snowing but we may get a wee bit more according to the met office, the temperatures will rise slightly late thursday and friday should be 3c, with saturday the same, will the heating be turned on? will we require snow clearers at the staduim saturday? will we get a game.. i need a football match!!!!!

I always assumed that the BBC use the Met Office forecasts.

If we make adiquate provisions to ensure the game is on and Ayr don't make kickoff, think we should be automaticly awarded three points.

Bus leaving shortly.

Advised to use the A82.

A9 Dalwinnie expected to open for Three pm.

No, under FIFA rules if one team doesn't show up, the game gets rescheduled to take place in Monaco and ends up 0-0.

well if the referee gets both managers to agree(over the phone i guess) then it would be postponed. otherwise if teh ref gives the game the go-ahead and Ayr dont make in time then ICT would be awarded a 3-0 win and Ayr would be hammered by the SFL for not making the k/o.

That would be a great situation of picking up 3 points and a 3-0 win without playing but it won't happen. Common sense will dictate it. Happened earlier this season when the Kilmarnock team bus got stuck on the M8 due to an oil spill. The players even warmed up on the motorway but couldn't make it to tynecastle on time so the game was rescheduled.

What guff, if they are stuck in snow, cant get up the road then it would be replayed. Teams have been stuck in traffic quite a few times before leading to games kicking off late or being postponed and replayed. Do some people just make things up here as they go along?

3 games in our league have a scheduled pitch inspection.

The IRN-BRU SFL First Division

Airdrie United v. Queen of the South - Saturay 10.30 am

Morton v. Dunfermline Athletic - Saturday 9.30 am

Raith Rovers v. Dundee - Saturday 10.00 am

I very much doubt it will be our pitch that causes any problems so wouldn't expect us to announce any inspection.

Pulling a stunt like that would be lower than a snake's belly IMHO and I would hope (and am pretty sure) we wouldnt even consider it let alone get the SFA/SFL to rule on it.

If the roads are bad and a team is late then the kickoff should be delayed to accomodate them or the match postponed, its not like they wouldnt be making the attempt to get here !

I am a great believer in Karma and in 'what goes around comes around' ... just think how often we travel to away games over a fair distance and how we would squeal and howl if anyone tried that on us !

I left Glasgow at 1415 and arrived safe and sound in Inverness at 1715. Only delay was roadworks at Carrbridge. Was one of the easiest journeys on the A9 for a long time. I am sure the Ayr bus will be fine. Dont know who advised the A82 as it was shut at 1400 and still at 1500 at Tyndrum!

Call the Ayr game off today.

Give County a call, it's not as if they are going to make it to Kirkcaldy is it?

Play the derby tomorrow.

Simples?

Good plan but County are playing Partick :026:

Doh! Must read fixtures properly!

Can I just pass on a general reminder that if there is a pitch inspection or game in doubt a lot of people will be using this site to find out the latest news.

If you do have firm and reliable information about a pitch inspection or similar then please go ahead and post. If you are only going on second or third hand information that you can't be 100% sure about then please consider carefully before posting - it's frustrating for somebody to read a post saying "the pitch passed the inspection" when the inspection hasn't even taken place yet!!!

We appreciate everyone's eager to know what's going on, but knowing the wrong info is worse than nothing at all

Completely agree. A repeat of last weekend when Miss ICT or whoever it was kept posting saying she knew the game was on when it clearly wasn't will have posters getting very muddled up.

Snow what snow? I drove from Dundee up to Aberdeen, Oldmeldrum, Turriff, Banff then on to Inverness, not a bit of snow on the road. I was expecting to see Inverness covered in snow when I got back, where is it.

Ps, Alex thanks for the loan of your sat nav.

Spoke to a mate in the railway station at 5.30 he told me he passed the Ayr team coach heading north, so looks like game on.

The pitch will be fine.

Very sensible observation. My understanding is that an inspection would be very unlikely and that Ayr United are currently tucked up in bed in the Thistle Hotel. Hopefully Miss ICT's "mate" is of a similar view. Otherwise we are yet again in danger of unnecessary and extremely unhelpful confusion.

So let's look forward to the recently unusual luxury of a home game in Inverness!
