TxRover Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Ro Sham Bo said: Stranraer might have won 9 of their 14 points at home, but 9 points at home this season hardly points to a fortress. 2-3-5 at home this year, which means they have gotten points from half their home games. Certainly not a fortress, but far from a pushover, as we found to our detriment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 BBC weather has weather warnings and 40-50 mph winds from 10am on Saturday right through the weekend. Does that get the game called off do you think? I imagine the game would be a farce in those conditions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the fact they dropped points 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With forecast warnings like that it makes any game a farce......they'd cancel high sided vehicles on the bridges for those conditions !! Absolute madness, playing IN a Mudbath, ON a Tattie field are words that coma to mind. Could not make it up!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Was thinking of heading down but with the weather forecast for the weekend have decided not to bother. Got caught out at the last abandoned game and the drive home after that via Dumfries was horrific. Don’t fancy risking that again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Aye I was last down in the abandoned game and I vowed never again if there is a chance of a late call off. Saturday is screaming that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Would be typical of Rovers to make the journey down again only for the game to get called off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Would be typical of Rovers to make the journey down again only for the game to get called off. To mitigate any potential travel disasters, and give themselves the best chance of winning, the Rovers could always put the team up in a hotel before the game. Just like Falkirk did before their *checks notes* 1-1 draw... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current forecast for kick is about 8-9 degrees, with a 33 mph SSW wind, gusts to 56 (gently called possibly locally damaging) and some rain. The good news is that Stair Park almost East-West, so it should be, at worst, a quartering tailwind/headwind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 What's the consensus then? Wee bit wind, wee bit rain, but nothing to put the game in doubt?Being out the house for ten hours and only seeing 37 minutes of football isn't an experience I'm desperate to repeat. Once bitten, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once bitten, etc. It'll be mair than a wee bit wind! Giving 55mph for afternoon. Maybe a bit of rain. This is all before the actual storm makes landfall later in the evening. The game may start but I'd not be too surprised if it doesn't end. If it goes the full whack it will be a total lottery regarding the outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
