speckyboy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The ref can't call a game off because bad weather is forecast. As much as it would be shite to start and not finish, he can't go with the assumption that conditions will become unplayable. It might turn out to be ok.

Cowden316 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Correct Shame a common sense approach can't be made though the rest of the country is being battered by severe gales and it is highly likely the Arbroath weather forecast will be correct at around 2pm onwards. I want this game to go ahead as best as it can with the financial prospect that awaits but I won't be a happy bunny travelling all the way up there to be then turned back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloobrazil Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ref might not call it off, but, the safety officer has a duty of care for all concerned. As long as it's not much worse than last week, will go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I remember many years ago the whole Saturday card in Scotland was wiped out due to the weather apart from Arbroath vs Cowdenbeath and possibly one other game. One advantage of a pitch by the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 It's going to be a lottery today with the wind. Good luck to both sides and hope the best team wins (hopefully us). We are not the best at using the wind to our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
