LeedsPhil Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Back on topic : Will this go ahead? - is there snow cover in Edinburgh, and if so who gets to scrape it off Ainslie Park for an Ed.City game? I've heard talk that there are consequences to the rubber pellets if clearing snow off these plastic pitches, so do Spartans let you do so? Am making plans for Saturday long-distance travel to this, so if it has no chance can somebody please say so asap not just at lunchtime on Saturday. Thanks.

shawfield shed boy Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Good post LP. Do spartans clear pitch for their tenants?! Probably not i suspect but who will receive the revenue of at least a couple hundred fans against a 1/10th on a midweek night, Re-arranged fixture...In the hands of the gods i suppose[emoji100] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hands of the gods i suppose Spartans do all the catering for Edinburgh City games so there's a few bob in it for them - they would probably make more with a Saturday Clyde away support than a midweek one. I would imagine it would be Spartans who would clear the pitch which to be fair they do look after not like some 3G pitches i've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteCollarClyde Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Can't imagine anyone will be making a huge effort to get this one the go ahead unfortunately. Absolutely covered and coming down heavy in city centre Glasgow.Hoping this one goes ahead but not looking good if it's anywhere near as bad there.

Possibly. Still not been back. Might relent on the 2nd as it is only game I can get to. Snow easing now not much on the ground so would think tomorrows game would be on.
