berwick-the-unbeatable Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Seems fine at the minute. Prob more an issue of whether there's any frost overnight between Fri & Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toto1504 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Absolutely Billy Baltic mate.Could fall victim to a frozen pitch judging by the forecast for the next couple of days . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'm more optimistic about this than the Peterhead game. Today's sleet should take the frost out of the ground, and the forecast for tonight doesn't get below +2°C. Any early inspection guarantees a call-off as local ref's are cautious beyond reason.

marty_j Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I live two minutes from ground very icy and ground still rock hard ironically would have been okay north end of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Pitch has been covered. No snow. Temp hasn't been below freezing for 36 hours. Temp set to be 7°C by 2pm This morning, Berwick club staff thought the game would definitely be on. Local ref took 40 minutes to decide that one of the penalty spots was a bit hard. An absolute joke, and no doubt at all that the pitch would be just fine long before 3pm. These pitch inspections are a farce - they almost always result in a call-off because it is piss easy to be over cautious rather than risk the outside chance of conditions getting worse. Fecking fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_j Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 So I hear Stuart. Inexperienced ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_j Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 The other option is to not call inspection I guess. Difficult for club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yep. Difficult for the club, and dead easy for some local jobsworth to get it wrong. Plenty of examples of matches being called off that would have been playable, very few where match is called on but subsequently had to be cancelled. He got £100 for making a truly shite decision, knows that nobody at the club will post evidence that he was wrong, and won't give the remotest toss. Still fecking fuming.
