    It might of Arbroath haven’t arrived. It certainly used to be the case that if there was a concern raised, a local ref would go early and make the call on behalf of the match official.
    I guess if Ayr had an injury crisis, they could phone up Arbroath and say, weather is stinking, can we just postpone if it wasn’t down to a referee. 
    Maybe there is one scheduled at 12 or 1 to do an inspection before Arbroath are due to leave. 

    You'd hope so. I don't like to see any team/fans make a wasted journey. Plus selfishly I'd rather stay cosy in the house watching a TV game than be at Somerset tonight freezing my baws off through "loyalty" (stupidity)

    Think you're maybe reading a bit too much into advertising for the club bar....

    Think the national travel warnings and weather forecast maybe more relevant !!

    We played Arbroath last season in farcical conditions. Cancelled a Fri night game v ICT literally as the turnstiles were opening. Seems storm and travel warnings are just blocked out when it comes to getting games on 😂

    Yeah, it’s crazy that it’s not been called off yet. The forecast has been awful for a couple of days and shows no sign of changing.

    Im all for giving games a chance if the forecast is rapidly changing or if the wind/rain etc is borderline but if it’s anything like the forecast then it can’t be played.

    It doesn’t need a ref to make the decision, just someone with access to a tv, computer or smart phone….. oh, and a brain.

    I know. Storm warnings and trains being off after 7, and this game still being on 🥴 we've just posted about the Hub being open and what food is on offer. Looks like a late call off if it's called off at all. Sorry to your team and fans for a potentially wasted journey

    Yeah. Also, don’t want to get into the rights and wrongs of us choosing to not be full-time but Arbroath are a part-time team which means most of the players will have to take time off work for this. And any fans that are planning to travel down.

    It will be a shambles if it goes ahead, and a shambles if it's a late call off.
