buddies1877 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's not just the pitch that is taken into consideration. Roads and walk ways also. Of course but that doesn’t take away that zero effort was made to keep the pitch clear of snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Pretty frustrating. Decent chance of 3 points today which would’ve given us a massive psychological boost being 2 points clear of Dundee before we play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rare for a Premiership game to get postponed for anything other than dangerous conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddies in Perth report all roads and walkways are clear. As is the track round the pitch in this photo. Obviously the fake feckers didnt turn on the USH or have any intention of clearing the snow. By 3.00pm this could all be melted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Apparently Andrew Dallas awarded St.Johnstone two penalties whilst inspecting the pitch. One for the snow falling "in a dangerous manner" and one for a seagull that slipped in a patch of snow. He did ask the seagull if it had dived. He took it's non reply to mean that it didn't. Penalties to be taken at the start of the rescheduled fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no Groundsman, but I don’t think it’s recommended to put USH on when it’s snowing. Warm snow, well, produces a shit load of water and floods the pitch! However, they should have had covers down. Unless it’s because it’s properly waterlogged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you only if you switch it on! we committed the same balls up a couple of years ago against Raith when "USH-gate" hit the fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a shitty tuesday night probably, but they could agree to next saturday. McAllister might be away with the u21's for us, not sure if any of our Eastern European loanees are called up. No idea who the fakes might have called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it’s because it’s properly waterlogged. you give it a good sweep first, or better still put the covers on in anticipation. Had this been a sell-out OF or near sell-out from east coast visitors then you could bet they would have spent the money. SMFC would have brought the same-ish amount of visitors on a weeknight or even many more if there is a slot on cup semi-final weekend. That would have been the deciding factor in electing not to clear the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrabuddie Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Really disappoined. But fortunately not a totally wasted trip as we'd picked up our eldest in St Andrews first. Lunch and then back to Aberdeenshire in time to watch the rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not next Saturday as I have something arranged because St. Mirren weren't playing. St. Mirren website still not saying game off. We are so amateur and lower league.

I’m pretty sure he isn’t. Not the original one anyway. Next Saturday would be ideal otherwise. Don’t know if the Fakes have any Internationslists?
