    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.

    The game against them at Somerset last season was a joke. Was it 4 attempts for the ball to sit on the spot for Dempsey? I’m sure he said that if it moved one more time the ref was going to abandon the game. I think we’d have won that if it was played in normal circumstances. It completely ruins a game. I reckon the Tweet was probably scheduled for today before we knew what the weather was going to be like.
     

    I reckon the board will make a decision today and announce tomorrow afternoon after the new manager has met the players at training and had pictures taken. Going by the betting, looking likely to be Brown. The other person I thought it might be is O’Dea, but zero movement on him in the market. Personally I think Brown would be a great appointment, as long as he gets the men he wants in to assist. We can’t not hire someone so that Tait etc remain at the club. It’s the nature of working in football, your job as a coach will never be 100% secure. 

    Farcical how that was even allowed to kick off. I remember whatever GK was at the SRE trying to kick the ball and it basically failing to go anywhere near the half way line. The pen attempts were funny at first then it just made a mockery of the refs decision to play the game. You'd hope the latest they'd cancel it would be about 3 to stop Arbroath having to leave on a wasted journey but after that ICT fri night farce I wouldn't hold my breath

    Feelings of orgasmic energy.

    I've only seen one Ayr Goal against them the whole time I've supported the super. Yes, Ayr were trounced 6-1 but the feeling I had when that goal went in....oaft. Magical.

    That was some day. I remember walking to the ground with my Dad up Hawkhill AVE and we near shit ourselves as somebody's tyre had a blow out right beside us 😂

    Never been as cold at a game but we had that one moment of joy. I really miss sharing these occasions with my old man
