The Moonster Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 That's a fairly late call even though it's Stirling we are playing. I wouldn't say the rain has been awfully bad this morning either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to imagine the Stirling squad and some supporters will be on their way by that point. The rain was heavy during the night but it hasn’t been bad today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah 1pm seems late to be doing the inspection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match ref will make the call. Our local cat 1 ref Euan Anderson who does most of the inspections, has Aberdeen at Pittodrie today so would've been away on his travels by the time someone got to the ground and realised an inspection was needed. Unfortunately SPFL rules have restrictions on who can inspect and call the games off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like we are out in the sticks, we are 30 minutes from the biggest city in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullyBascombe Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Am about 10 miles west of the Rock and my rain gauge has recorded nearly 4cm of rainfall in the last 48 hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanted an inspection last night/this morning but couldn't get one until 1pm then why wouldn't we announce early this morning that was the plan? Announcing at 12 that we are doing an inspection in an hours time suggests either the pitch has deteriorated in the last couple of hours or someone has made a balls up of it. I'll trust it's the former for now. 3 minutes ago, cameron2000 said: Cheers, have you got a link? I can’t find it anywhere. I went to look for it on our site but it's that shite it's not even there.

It will be because that's when someone's turned up to the ground and realised the pitch might struggle. Should someone have been there earlier? Yes probably, but unless there was any doubt yesterday I assume everyone turned up at their usual time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I reckon they have turned up this morning and haven't actually looked at the pitch until 12 or so. At that time the pitch had areas that would put the match in doubt. I'd imagine the groundsman is working to get it on. I'm not sure what time the ref usually arrives at or whether they would have a say in the inspection taking place at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual streaming website appears to be deid for some bizarre reason. https://dumbartonfc.univtec.com I’m pretty sure we were offering season passes and the likes for streaming this season so surely there is an alternative but it certainly hasn’t been announced that’s the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbarton Rock Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 From my experience it will probably be the match ref that does the inspection. This could be the reason it's that late as he might be coming from Aberdeeen or the likes, too late for local refs as most will be on their way to games. The club always want as late an inspection as possible, simply to get the hospitality punters fed for obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
