PITCH INSPECTION GAME OFF

[caleydawson]

ICT have asked for a pitch inspection to be held due to the heavy rain over night.

[caley100]

If this shitey rain keeps up, game will be off...

[ICTRoughi]

Pitch inspection at 9am

[caley100]

Only saving grace is that the forecast seems to indicate the bad weather will ease off later..  hoping

[ICTRoughi]

Raith Rovers saying that the match will highly doubtful take place.

[DundeeICT]

Going by the MET office rainfall radar the rain is meant to continue most of day around Inverness. Not the best for a football game when the pitch is already soaked!!

[PerfICT]

kind of hoping it's off - cr@p pitch and a gale will make for a terrible game.

Benefits of a postponement:

 

1. Tie will take place when Ofere and Kink are fitter and know the team better

2. Warren won't be suspended

3. Brill might be back.

4. Pitch should be in better nick, to suit our passing game

5. We will definitely be in the draw for the sem-finals!

With having no game next weekend and this rescheduled fixture likely to take place midweek before the next game, Warren will still likely miss out. Edited March 7, 2015 by RossP

So will Mr Colum give the pitch a red card?

The groundsman will be first to get a red i would say

Covers at one end of ground being lifted. Otherwise one area of concern to ref. Inspection still in progress

[The Mantis]

Train is full of Rovers fans, just winding up into party mode. Couple of cops on it too, nobody's allowed to drink till 10 am :-)

[Sneckboy]

Refresh. Refresh.

C'mon!

Cheers caleydawson for the updates.

[RiG]

#ICTFC v @RaithRovers_FC postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Rearranged fixture to take place on Tuesday at 7.45pm.

[PandB]

From ICTFC Twitter.... Match Postponed due to waterlogged pitch. Rescheduled for Tue 10th March at 7:45pm

[lizi]

Bother!  I cannot go on Tuesday night.    Botheration and other stronger words!

[Sneckboy]

Why didn't someone start a thread yesterday about the possibility of a deluge threatening this game!

It would likely have just got 'poo-pooed'!

[forresjags]

FFS what happened to the expensive covers we purchased. Lose money playing on a TUesday night

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Excellent news. That means the rest of today will be very sunny and dry.

 

Seriously it does make sense. Hope not too many Raith or ICT supporters in transit.

 

We will now get to see who either Raith or ourselves will get in the Semi. Raith have a long trip to Queen of the South next weekend so with our game against Dundee United off then, it might be more likely on Tuesday rather than Saturday.TV money maybe?

Bah humbug !.....I was looking forward to this one of the few I can get to........... Never mind conditions, hopefully, better by the tenth and we can put on the style..................Thanks for the updates.
