7-2 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 For some absurd reason the game went ahead, Sky wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Capsule Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's slightly blowy in Glasgow. Not a hurricane at all. Hope everyone mans up ans plays tomorrow. You bunch of c***s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pack Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 To be fair, we played a game at home to Aberdeen a couple of years back on a night when police had issued a warning telling people not to travel unless it was absolutely necessary. For some absurd reason the game went ahead, with a crowd of 1600 (about 1/4 of what it would have been) in horrendous conditions and was decided by a wind assisted goal from the centre circle. In those circumstances id be all for the game being called off on those grounds. What a shit night that was to play a football match, absolute nightmare.

underboyleheating Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Strong winds and up to 5 inches of rain forecast, this game must be in serious doubt. Playing football in that kind of weather can be a lottery, however, you never know maybe the wind and rain will bypass Fir Park. Fingers crossed, Frank goes nowhere near Motherwell.

Enigma Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Most Motherwell native should probably take up this opportunity to talk to Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Whena the latest an inspection would take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Aye I can't see this being on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I'm confident the game will be on. The rain is to be off for the next few hours, so hopefully it gives the groundstaff time to work on it, and for the wind to dry the pitch out a bit. If there was to be an inspeciton, however, I would imagine it would be no later than 4:30pm. Any later than that would be taking the piss a bit, with regards to travelling away fans.

SCDave Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah exactly what Desp said, I'm at Fir Park just now, the rain is completely off, the wind has died right down but there's still a wee breeze and it's quite mild out. I'm pretty sure the game will be on. Not had a chance to have a look at the pitch but the groundstaff here seem pretty competent these days so I'm sure they'll see that the game goes ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Do you think id be alright to park in the Taggarts car park next to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCDave Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Do you think id be alright to park in the Taggarts car park next to the ground? Never parked in there, I'll leave that to someone else to answer! Motherwell FC @MotherwellFC 2m 2 minutes agoMotherwell, Scotland This is the pitch at 10.30am. It's wet after 19mm of rain last night but drying after a break in the weather. Motherwell FC @MotherwellFC 2m2 minutes agoMotherwell, Scotland If the game was kicking off now, it would be game on. Need the weather to be kind in the pm. We'll keep everyone updated through the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly78 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Do you think id be alright to park in the Taggarts car park next to the ground? I've usually parked in either Camp Street/Glencairn Street (near the Civic Centre) if we're in the Main Stand, or sometimes Dalzell Avenue if we're in the stand behind the goal. Never had any problems in either location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Superwell Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Pitch looks perfectly playable to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Current view from the South Stand. Looks good. Another update from MFC due at 12:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This better be on now, just made plans to head through. Will finally see me hit 12/12 top flight stadiums too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Unless the weather takes a sudden unexpected turn it will be a playable pitch so long as the police don't step in for dangerous travel reasons but by all accounts weather to be settled for the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This better be on now, just made plans to head through. Will finally see me hit 12/12 top flight stadiums too. I managed that feat last month when I made it to Ross County. I celebrated the achievement with not one, but two, of the greatest Haggis pies ever seen in Scottish Football circles. Unfortunately, you won't have the same experience. My recommendation would be to have a bite to eat before you arrive, and bypass the Fir Park pie stalls!
