Derby pitch inspection - GAME OFF

[Kingsmills]

As usual, IHE is talking a load of cr#p.

[Donview]

What time's the inspection, logged on for MFR news at 11.00 and not a mention??

[+bughtmaster]

They are all hungover and still in their pits at Dingwall!!!!!!!!!

[Kingsmills]

Sensible thing might be to have the inspection circa 3pm. The same time as the proposed kick off time tomorrow.

they are doing it themselves

I have just been to Tinkerville to see my auntie and it was fair chucking it down. However I managed to persuade the family to go to the toilet in Sneck and they were ordered to hold their bladders and their bowels when we got to the caravan. I also used my nursing skills to catheterise my auntie so I have done my bit to keep the game on.

Heard games off

[Govan Jaggie]

The SPL need to take action. County can not get away with being a joke to the league. Can we get refunds on our tickets?

[caleydawson]

GAME OFF!!!!!

[jaggy]

What state must that pitch be in, if the game is called of 24 hrs in advance?

Hardly surprising

 

I suspect they will be forced to move at some point in the future If county are here for another hundred years they will still have this problem

Been playing football since 1929 in the highlands. Surely there pitch would be able to cope with a few rain showers. Theres be alot worse wet days over the past few years.

JOKE OF THE HIGHLANDS!!!

[Kingsmills]

Damn. I have no excuse now for avoiding a round of family visits tomorrow. Doubt I  will manage any rescheduled midweek game.

Aye travelling's what they do best!

[TheCaleyjags123]

County will be happy not having to start the year off with a loss

[+DoofersDad]

Seems like a no brainer to me.  The ground is saturated and heavy rain is forecast for tomorrow morning.  It would be far worse to delay a decision and then end up calling it off late as they did against Hearts.

 

It is, of course, the only way County would be able to stop us remaining in second place at the end of tomorrow but it is without doubt the correct decision.

[Kingsmills]

I genuinely don't want to be critical of County but what is the point of having undersoil heting to combat the effects of frost if even a modest rainfall causes one of their biggest games of the season to be called off over 24 hours in advance ?

 

It provides fuel for those based in the central belt who believe the Highlands to be unworthy of hosting SPL  football and in this particular instance they may just have a point.

[Crusher]

Not hugely surprised about this - can't expect the surface to soak up that much moisture with all the greetin' from Derek Adams of late. Actually, I'm surprised the whole feckin' North Sea hasn't risen a few inches.

Don't know why we are berating C*unty about a postponment. If you ask the fans of Celtic, St Johnston or Q o t S they would brand us as "the joke of the Highlands". Postponments happen.

It is called baiting Mun. But I wonder what the compensation package will be as they gave to the Jam Tarts ??

We might get free buses from Uncle Roy!

[TopSix]

What a farce.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Apologies my aunt has just informed me that she pulled the catheter off after I left and did a big wee.
