DA Baracus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The whole nation will surely tune in to this one on Friday night. Will be our first game since December 29th, so at least the players will be well rested. We have an absolute miserable record at Cappielow. Not confident about this one! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I assume we need to get testing regimes in place ahead of the game on Friday? Given we have several players coming to the end of quarantine spells, some of which actually testing positive, that I would not be surprised to see more of the squad testing positive this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Our record at Cappielow since we dropped out of top-flight football in 2007:W: 6D: 4L: 10I could have sworn it was far worse than that. Only 1 win there since our promotion from the seaside league in 2016. Horrendous. Morton win. Most likely a goal in the last few minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolph Hucker Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Heavy frost all day Tuesday. Heavy rain much of yesterday, light snow overnight and looks like more rain or snow to come today. They're predicting dry and overcast tomorrow and temperatures getting all the way up to 4 or 5 degrees, but I think that might be too little too late for the pitch and the game. Given how heavy the pitch has been this season, if it does go ahead it'll be more like mud-wrestling than fitba'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The snow in Glasgow just now is already being partially melted by the rain, if it's the same in Greenock then the issue might be the pitch waterlogging as opposed to freezing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Very little snow in Greenock down at the river level anyway. I would expect the game to go ahead but the pitch isn't going to be great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day it was the best pitch in Scotland IMO, very rarely had games off either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Given we probably haven't had many opportunities to actually train over the past fortnight with the weather conditions, I'd be quite happy to chuck a hose over the stand touchline and rearrange it for April. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now used by the club for training purposes, much to the annoyance of the groundsman who thought that he was creating a show lawn inside. The drawback is that it will be an absolute mess and susceptible to postponements through the winter, but our home record in the past 18 months has been decent enough to justify the change. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 That's a bit of an unfair advantage getting to train on the playing surface, we only get that benefit playing Alloa away.

Stellaboz Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 They could be training on a waterlogged public park littered with dug shite and broken glass and still find a way to cuff us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
