Motherwell game OFF 12thJan

[caleyrule]

Tomorrow's cup tie v Motherwell has been called off again

[Johnboy]

Why?

[caleyrule]

Why?

Pitch failed a pitch inspection due to it being frozen in parts nothing the club could do about it the undersoil heating only works to -6 and it has been much lower than that

[Caley Mad In Berks]

No surprise there then. I imagine most of the fixtures rearranged for tomorrow night will be off again. I just can't believe that they would try for the rearranged games so quickly following the original date in conditions like these, which are pretty widespread.

[Hearach]

I am relieved as was not looking forward to driving in treacherous icy conditions tomorrow night. Snow melting fast now but come 8 o'clock tonight it will be horrendous with black ice everywhere.

No real surprise that the games off again.

It's been rescheduled for Monday 18th

[caleyrule]

The only game left on tomorrow Albion Rovers v Stirling Albion and thats subject to a pitch inspection at 1.15pm today

Tomorrow's 2 cup games are also subject to pitch inspections later on this afternoon both of which are expected to be called off

Rather annoying as Monday is usually a busy night for me. This dosen't help much unless it turns out to be worth going too.

[The Long Man]

A Monday night, after an away Sat fixture? Where is the sense in that, and what is wrong with tuesday or wed?

[DornochJAGGIE]

My prediction was right.. I heard on MFR that they are wanting it to go ahead on Monday.

I suppose it's understandable from the club point of view in terms of revenue - game on equals money in the coffers. Pity I won't be able to make it up to it. Wonder how they'll work the catering if the staff are coming up from Edinburgh? Also what about TV coverage? Anyone have any idea if sky or the BBC might cover it?

Police will probably call it off again for safety reasons. The snow will have melted, the roads will be ice free so people will be driving faster and that could be dangerous.

Official Statement from the club....apologies for delay in posting, I've been out at meetings all day.

Following a pitch inspection at 10am this morning, it has been agreed to postpone the match due to the pitch being frozen.

The game will now be re-scheduled for Monday 18th January with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.eticketing.co.uk/ictfc, calling the Ticket Office on 01463 222880 option 1, 2 or visiting the stadium Ticket Office.

Tickets are priced at:

Adults ?15

Concessions ?10

16?s and under FREE*

*when accompanied by a paying adult

As I understand it, beyond that we kick in to a situation whereby if the game does not go ahead Monday it will be rescheduled for Tuesday, then Wednesday etc. until such time as it is played....obviously making allowance for league fixtures.

Be lucky if theres 2000 at the game now .

[Alex MacLeod]

The SFA allocate the dates.The clubs come to agreement on which day to play. They dont have a great deal of choice really.

I would expect a Scottish Cup Highlights Programme and possibly Morton v Celtic being live on Sky.

Sky get one game each round I think, so I doubt any of the re-arranged games will be shown on tv unless it goes to a replay.
