Guest Flash Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Could be. Its snowing quite heavily now and I guess they probably didnt use the salt fora Heston game as its ours & quite expensive. Pretty comfortable that a Queens game would have been on though. Annan is still onYeah, makes sense to only use it for Queens first team games.Been out, but I see games at Alloa and Stenny have been abandoned.

Skyline Drifter Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Yeah, makes sense to only use it for Queens first team games. Been out, but I see games at Alloa and Stenny have been abandoned. To be fair I doubt any game at Palmerston would have finished today. Even if the pitch itself was ok the amount of snow would probably have seen it impossible to keep the lines clear. I went to Annan where they got through 90 mins but 30 mins into each half you couldnt really see the lines. Pretty sure the ref would have abandoned if East Fife hadnt been winning comfortably. And the snow is much worse in Dumfries than in Annan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren1872 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Alloa winning to only go have it abandoned. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd much rather our game was called off in the morning than have it abandoned during the second half. There's some amount of rage over on the Alloa vs Morton thread about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we weren't still in the cup we could have played it 1st saturday in Feb. I think you lot have a free week then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSTY1111 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 When do we reckon the re arranged game will take place? Knowing the SPFL it will be March or April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we weren't still in the cup we could have played it 1st saturday in Feb. I think you lot have a free week then We play St mirren away that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we weren't still in the cup we could have played it 1st saturday in Feb. I think you lot have a free week then Nah as Broony says, we got ourselves knocked out so we could rearrange a St Mirren postponement in there. To answer the question I doubt it will be anytime soon. The SPFL has no actual rule about the rearrangement of postponed games unlike the old SFL which insisted on them being the next but one midweek except between Xmas and the first Saturday in February. However, they have said in the past that they will abide by that old rule and not insist on earlier rearrangements and they just left clubs to sort out the ones from before Xmas mutually as there is no real fixture pile up. There's no real point in trying to rearrange a midweek game in Dumbarton any time soon as it just risks the same happening again. I'd have thought late Feb or March would be more likely though we do already have a scheduled midweek game in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 We enjoy a fixture pile up in March, I'd be shocked if it wasn't then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Quitely Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Alloa winning to only go have it abandoned. Happy days. Now that is just a bit silly ....we'll stand or fall by our own efforts, as it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Now that is just a bit silly ....we'll stand or fall by our own efforts, as it should be. Ultimately our results are what matters but you still want to see those around you failing to win, that's beauty of a league. The less pressure on us the better. I'm fully in the 'pleased' contingent after yesterday's abandoned match. A certain Mr Ross has been involved in a drastic revival before...

sons'r'us Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 There's been a suggestion that it could be played on sat 26th March. It's an international break that weekend. However with Queens due to take on Rangers and us playing Hibs. Is there a chance both of our opponents ask for postponements. It's a bit of a long shot right enough and would need some planning. I'm not sure what kind of notice is required by clubs when requesting postponements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what kind of notice is required by clubs when requesting postponements. Not the daftest idea if indeed both clubs are without a game that weekend. Didn't realise that was an international weekend. Bit of a pest if we have to go to Ibrox midweek too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Alloa were very pissed off that day, the club were sure the park was ok but the ref disagreed. It went ahead in colder conditions a few days later. That is comfortably the coldest I have ever been at a football match. The car was reading -4c when I got to the ground.

Tam Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 That is comfortably the coldest I have ever been at a football match. The car was reading -4c when I got to the ground. Me too! Despite boots and two pairs of hillwalking socks. Would have been warmer walking up the Ochils. As far as I remember, Alloa called in a UEFA official to inspect their pitch to put pressure on the ref to get the game to go ahead midweek. Don't think the Saturday ref was very experienced. He certainly got on the job training, thanks to Alloa - and it was much colder on the Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
