Ross' Resplendency .vs. Csaba's Shenanigans - 29/12 - 19:45

[Buddist Monk]

Yeah, this game isn't going ahead. The snow is possibly 4 inches deep just now, it's still falling, and while that will clear it'll turn into slush then ice. As the game is a night time kick off, the surrounding area will be considered "unsafe" by the police. If it was 3'o clock kick off, we might have managed it.

[Mark Connolly]

It's important that a decision is made quickly.

Kilmarnock fans would have set off for a game in Hamilton by now.

[Young gun]

A bit of common sense please from the club, If in any doubt postpone.

Too many times in the past have I personally suffered late call offs.

This time have a bit of thought for the fans

[Silvio]

Club have tweeted the pitch is fine but there is a concern about the surrounding areas.

Further update at 12pm.

[djchapsticks]

Snow is now off which is at least a positive.

Serious question.  Is it only football matches that are called off due to the condition of the ‘surrounding area’?

I’m struggling to remember a gig or any other major event being called off for that reason.

I think we all thought that this would be the biggest issue. I remember once, our pitch was flooded (about 5 years ago?) but every other time a game has been cancelled hasn't it been purely on the ground outside and not the actual pitch?

It's a fair point, I'm not sure when this first started happening. I mean if the area is so unsafe* then evacuate the residents!

 

 

_{* - I realise the ground is in Feegie so "unsafe" is entirely contextual.}

Glasgow Airport is now closed.

F*ck.  Ernesto Valverde was due in to watch Scott Fraser.

 

[paisleysaints]

The pitch won't be the problem it'll be called off due to the streets around it. Fucking snow ruining my day already [emoji23]

[Alert Mongoose]

This better not be off. Our teams finally back in the big time watched by millions worldwide on BT Sport.

Back on again with a vengeance. It's a cert to be called off at the 12 noon inspection.

[sergie's no1 fan]

Tony Fitz contacted the fan group and asked if they can get as many bodies and shovels dow n to the stadium this morning.

It would appear they are hoping to get the surrounding streets cleared.

Fair play to the guys that are heading down.

[Poet of the Macabre]

Phil Taylor is getting his tatties and sent into retirement with his tail between his legs this evening so no one would have been watching anyway.

They don't want the game on, they're collectively shitting it. This snowfall is the best result they've had all season.

You seem very angry for a Buddhist.

You also seem very angry even by the standards of St Mirren fans.

I always find that the people who make spurious claims about anger, are in fact the angry ones themselves.

Fyvie injured and the transfer window not open yet to dump the shit McKinnon brought in? Ol' shabba will be dancing in the streets of United tonight if the game is called off.
