Hibs contacted ICT in plenty of time for our match to be rearranged and we agreed. Aberdeen did not contact Motherwell but instead hoped the SPL would have organized any fixture changes. By the time Motherwell were asked they had already shelled out the monies required for programmes, police, stewards etc. so they said no. Aberdeens problem for being a bit naive in assuming the SPL would sort it all out.
The reason the replay is on thursday is for SKY transmission. Aberdeen are happy enough to take their paycheck.
We're not going to refuse a reasonable request simply because it could one day be us who are asking.
