Thereisalight.. Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Didnt see a match day thread up yet, so impatiently started one. 3pm at Somerset. We've be toiling in recent weeks but got the win v Hamilton to remain at the upper echelons of the league. Arbroath certainly not the team they were last season but always seem to pose us problems. Another 1-0 imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Arbroath had looked to have took a step forward with the result away to Dundee but then getting pumped the following week to Inverness looked like 2 steps back. See Arbroath have lost a couple of players this week to which will be a further blow to them. Should be a home win but lots thought we'd thrash Hamilton and look what happened so i think it'll be more of the same, especially with a week of rain meaning the pitch won't be any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Ayr United P-P Arbroath. If the game on Saturday was in doubt, 6 days of constant rain will put this off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Aye pitch wasn't in the best nick on Saturday there, so this week's forecast doesn't look promising. I think if we did win it would be another narrow victory. Would be great to get another three points, with the next league game being against Cove, on paper it's a good chance to pick another 6. With the performance from Saturday in mind however, I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Is there a genuine chance this could be off? Might be a godsend for us. Being an away game we shouldn’t get totally pumped 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very surprised if this went ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i fear the worst, absolute pissing down the day and most of yesterday, imagine if you were to rock up at Somerset this afternoon the pitch will be waterlogged. Unless the get someone in to verti drain it but difficult to do that when the pitch is already flooded and you need to put any form of machinery on the pitch, will just ruin the grass...

Thereisalight.. Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Can only hope the high winds will help "dry" out the pitch. I think theres no rain forecast for Fri. Just hope it's not another late decision by the ref. Would be a shitter for the Arbroath fans to travel so far and the game to be called off late 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry on Fri from 1pm to 8pm but not looking good. Can only hope it goes ahead.

Shibuya Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Didn't we have a really late call off against Arbroath a few years ago? Possibly due to high winds... What a shit journey home that would be! AccuWeather forecast has some ridiculous wind gusts forecast as well, I doubt this will be on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole day was absolutely carnage and just right good fun. Trains in the way up were fucked and we got stuck outside Edinburgh so had to run about getting replacement carry out when we changed. Lots of chaos and good fun that day. Match never got rearranged due to Covid. Spoiler And St Pauli win the Derby on the way up too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got fucked about by trains on the way up. Think we ended up having got 2 trains and 3 replacement buses by the time we got to Arbroath. Only for it to be called off at HT. I seem to remember it shouldn't really have started, but at half time Arbroath hadn't really taken advantage of the wind with the score at 1-1. It was a bit of a farce but I was of the opinion that if we played the first half we might as well play the 2nd (we also would have had the wind). Dick Campbell was having none of it and was in the refs ear about calling it off as soon as the half time whistle went. Was postponed and we jumped on a train to Dundee for what turned out to be a great night out. We were lucky that a mate stays up there. Last big away day before COVID. A solid 9.5/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 A game game for JML as he only ever seems to play well against Arbroath. Dreadful game, Ayr will concede the midfield and resort to chipping high balls to Akinyemi due to the waterlogged pitch, playing straight in to Arbroath’s hands. 0-0 Dundee and Queens Park both lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The rain has been torrential in Ayr today and the weather forecast for the remainder of the week is no better. If the game does go ahead it will be a festival of hoofball on a sodden pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
