Sons Fan Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I assume it’s going to get called off tomorrow afternoon. If but if by some miracle it doesn’t then it likely won’t be a free flowing game of football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 9am pitch inspection. Granted I'm 40 miles up the road and there's about foot of snow on my street, but I can't see there being a chance of this being on. If the snow and ice melts it'll make the pitch a muddy, soggy mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, if it's hard enough to risk anyone's safety then I'm sure the ref will cancel it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Rained much of yesterday. Raining again right now. Snow won't be an issue, but I wouldn't have thought that it would have thawed enough yesterday and overnight. We were still getting -9 on Wednesday and -6 on Thursday. If it does go ahead then fair enough, but next Saturday is a far more important game for us. Wouldn't be that bothered if this one fails the inspection. Need a lot of work on the pitch if today does go ahead to make sure that next week its in as good condition as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a game is going to be postponed it's better that it's only stenhousemuir. East Fife is the much bigger fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezebox-son Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Aye, can't we play this a few weeks back when Stenny were hopeless and we could at least grind out results... really need to not lose here and a win would be huge in stopping the rot! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 While Dumbarton have been playing poorly at the moment, so too have Stenhousemuir - the only difference is we've somehow won our last two matches. We were miles off it against Albion Rovers last weekend until some inventive half-time substitutes, and truly appalling against Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic on Saturday, so I'm approaching tomorrow's encounter with a degree of trepidation. Given the state of Dumbarton's pitch, I'm expecting another 90 minutes of brutal football, but I do think we have a chance. I think we'll make a couple of tweaks to Saturday's XI: - Gavin Reilly - - Euan O'Reilly - Matty Yates - Adam Brown - - Nat Wedderburn - Mikey Miller - - Callum Yeats - Sean Crighton - Nicky Jamieson - Adam Corbett - - Curtis Lyle - Let's go for it! A win for the Warriors would be enormous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I think this will be my first time at a home midweek match with the lights on at the start for three years. There's something about a midweek game in the dark that I love. They're also starting a floodlight trial on the Rock tomorrow so that might be good too. God only knows how the football will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I see in addition to Gavin Reilly, Stenny have now added a young centre-back on loan from Hibs. Gary Naysmith is certainly trying to get them moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
