The Toun Clock Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The roofs opposite have had a fair whack of the sun for about an hour now and all melting nicely. Fresh new optimism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 14 minutes ago, Have some faith in Magic said: If it said 'precautionary pitch inspection' I might have had more hope. Yep. I feel like they’d have said something if they thought it might be on. If the USH is broken, they had a couple days notice (previously mentioned it has to be on a couple of days before). So if they haven’t done anything to make it playable, it’s very poor from the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelty_par Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 To run the USH for a few days to make sure the pitch was okay, I doubt the club would’ve even made profit from the game. If it has to be rescheduled, then it’ll still be a huge crowd as it’s 2 teams going for the title 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’ve seen a photo of the pitch, looks better than I thought it might, groundsmen out on it. Looks a hell of a lot better than the one Morton just posted which has a 10:45 inspection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBadgers Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 No games at all on BBC Scottish football site have been called off. Obvs don't no when inspections are planned, but maybe a good sign. Its new year, so most games are local derbies, or at least not too far away today, so maybe inspections being kept back a bit as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I hear gas and electric are cheap as f**k these days so f**k knows why we've made little effort to get the USH up and running 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I thought the pars German owners had loads of Dosh. Surely a few days ush would be peanuts to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more that it failed when turned on, hasn’t been used in some time as opposed to paying for it it to go on. Saying that, I think the club were always against using it unless worthwhile. If we were playing Peterhead today I think we’d all have accepted a call off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an early call, must have been solid with no hope of a thaw, whereas the temperature is to be 4 degrees at kick off here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thaw set in quite well here and 4 hours til ko - really be a bit of a joke if they don’t play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Not an exact comparison but the grass in the park opposite me is now pish green and the temperature is up to 2. Surely it has a decent chance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The worst bit about hospitality is surely the game so we should just let that go as planned today then sell it out again when the game is rescheduled 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That old chestnut. Is there actually any undersoil heating in Scotland that works?Every time we get to this time of year clubs ush seem to be switched off completely or suddenly develop an issue. You'd think these things would get serviced once a year at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
