The original game on 4th December was called off because, allegedly, the roads were too icy. On that occasion the pitch was probably playable.

Anyone else see the irony?

[SMEE]

Am i right in saying ICT has only ever had one game cancelled due to pitch problems?

I was under the impression that there was quite an expensive drainage system put into the pitch?

Rain has now stopped, been off for 20 mins or so, here's hoping the game will go ahead. according to met office it will be clearer this evening with light showers.

[MissICT]

No rain now! Looking like the game will go ahead :)

[Row S]

What heavy rain? It's been relatively light here most of the day and as said above has stopped. Is the forecaster based down in soggy Fort William?

[MissICT]

There has been a lot of surface water on the roads and been heavy at times.

That was this afternoon is dried up a lot though. I think the same will be on. Just wish they'd announce the outcome soon as the Utd fans will be leaving soon and caley fans from outwith the area.

Just phoned the club and they said they won't know for another 15 - 20 minutes. How long does an inspection take?!

i would be pushing it to leave now, it is a good 21/4 hrs plus all the rush hour traffic further south.

[MissICT]

I heard it was delayed and it's on now!

surely cant take 45 mins to see if a pitch has water on it or not :/

I think the same will be on.

Unless you are the match referee, I wouldnt be so quick to make statements like that ..... People outside of Inverness may have a long journey and misinformation may cost money !!!!

As soon as we hear anything OFFICIAL we will post it here and update the alert bar at the top of every page.

perhaps the match referee didnt arrive on time ?

perhaps it was touch and go in places and he wanted to see if the drainage system is making it better now that rain has stopped ?

yea i suppose you need to check everything before the game goes ahead so that nothing bad happens, serious injuries/slips/falls e.c.t.
