Tam M Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 To be fair the pitch was looking pretty clear with 20 mins to go but another heavy snow shower at the wrong time is what screwed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Dickson Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I agree with Shull. Apparently the club and fans were trying to clear the pitch. They should have let it be and had the game called off far earlier. As a result of their actions several hundred football fans, many of them season ticket holders, have made an unnecessary, foolhardy and possibly even dangerous journey to get to the match.

I, for one, am stunned your view is one that paints the club in a negative light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Dickson Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I, for one, am stunned your view is one that paints the club in a negative light. I've got two sons who made their way to Paisley despite my advice, and who now are struggling with the hazardous journey home. They are rightly angry at the club and the people who tried to get this game on. The pitch has undersoil heating - if that wasn't clearing the pitch the game should have been off.

proudtobeabuddy Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not good! whoever called it off this late made an arse of it! It was forecast to snow all day yet they call it off 5 mins before the kick off! I feel sorry for those coming down from Kirkaldy. No problems with it being off, just when they called it off!!!

FTOF Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I, for one, am stunned your view is one that paints the club in a negative light. I see the fat fool is gibbering on about dangerous journeys. Quite amusing given his dismissal of warnings not to make dangerous journeys when storm force wind warnings are issued by the met office.

Stuart Dickson Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Apparently the club believe they were issuing refunds to those who had paid for the car parking today but that's news to my boys. Sounds like either the club was utterly disorganised and amateurish, or there are some car park attendants pocketing some money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Should have checked the weather forecast and called it off last night. Raith fans have a very hazardous journey home as have faraway Saints fans. Nothing to do with the Referee. Sensible administration from St Mirren would have seen the Match bite the dust long before 2.50pm. ST FARCE FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 What happens to people in hospitality. They have had their meal, got half pished but haven't had their half time and post match stuff. Do they get a freebie next time or half money back?

I would have saved a couple of thousand making a meaningless journey to St Mirren Park. The Club are halfwits, not me or the referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabuddies Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 The decision by the referee at 12.20pm was the killer. "Ref happy with the pitch if snow keeps getting cleared and snowfall isn't significantly worse." Why the rules don't take account of the weather forecast only the SFA can say. The club have no say in the decision and they must make efforts to get the pitch clear and the game on. From what has been said on the BBC the pitch was unplayable because the officials couldn't see the lines and the ground staff couldn't keep them clear. Some games have started and been abandoned "because the officials couldn't see the lines". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
