Ayr game on/off thread

[Charles Bannerman]

<Admin Hat>

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

</Admin Hat>

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!

Right. I'm putting my trust in the forum. First flight up in the morning for me. That means getting up in about 4 hours! See you at the game. I hope...

Going by travel reports and what my mother says (who is waiting in Aviemore until the roads clear etc) the game will be on and the roads should be clear etc.

That is unless there is a deluge of snow this very night.

Looking good at the moment.

Looking good at the moment. :022:

You'd better be right or else i'll cry.

does anyone know the situation with the trains and whether it will be open tomoz

Still blocked by snow in places. Should be ok tomorrow as teams work overnight to clear the line.

Check for updates Here.

The line between Perth and Inverness is currently closed.

The loco' that was assisting in snow clearing duties has become derailed at Dalnaspidal. It could be closed for most of the day.

Does not appear to have been frosty overnight, certainly nothing seious if there was any. Don't think there is any snow lying at pitch level. Very overcast at present and as pitch looked good in the passing yesterday things are looking ok, unless the constabulary think otherwise.

tm4tj - Inverness.

From journey check-

Train services between Perth and Inverness are being disrupted due to snow.

Short notice alterations, cancellations and delays can be expected.

Edinburgh/Queen St services to/from Inverness will start and terminate at Perth due to adverse weather conditions. Bus transport will be provided between Perth and Inverness.

So there is travel available.

You could borrow my donkey.... if i had one.

[Charles Bannerman]

Given that the game is definitely ON, is there perhaps a case for closing this thread which may now have become misleading since the original question no longer applies?

Presumably the matchday thread is on its way in any case?

PS - I informed Tommy this morning that he had been referred to on this forum as "the best groundsman in Britain." Those of you who know him will probably understand what I mean by describing his response as one of "indignant hilarity" - an emotion which, within my experience anyway, only Tommy can do!

(Probably the closest I have otherwise seen was Diggar MacGillivray!)

This one is more entertaining Charles. And there's scope to wind you up.

[davie]

Thank goodness the game's on. Has anyone considered the economic impact on the Innes? I'm going to boost their profits right now.

I have arranged for a camel to be shipped across at great personal expense to ensure you get through the "white desolation" - snow to you.
