bdu98196 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Being postponed for weather will hurt both sets of fans as it'll end up scheduled to a shitty mid-week timeslot. Worst case maybe the QP board could just pay for us to fire up the undersoil heating we have from previous big time status. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USH was removed when we improved the drainage, best they can do is get covers down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 We should just postpone it now to give our brave boys a rest and to ensure QP have to come up on a cold, rainy midweek evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game must be at risk shirley? Morton game v us at Cappielow was postponed at the last freeze even though it was thawing on Saturday but like this week minus 6 every night. Stenny’s okay though if you want to pop down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathcartSkins Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The game will be on. Same line up as last week unless a change is forced because of injury, or some tactical masterstroke is being deployed. 3-2 for QP in 90 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we moved away from the sea? We rarely needed USH if ever and I'm struggling to remember a postponement for a frozen pitch before that was installed. Postponements tended to come from travelling conditions. Wasn't there one for flooding from underneath the pitch? We also had one of the best pitches if not the best in the Scottish Leagues before that was installed. It will be game on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years back as a requirement for SPL entry we had to have a 6000 seat stadium and Under Soil Heating, the USH regulation was relaxed about 10 years ago and pitch covers were found to be sufficient. I'm not sure if we got a grant for the installation of USH, as for the 6000 seats that of course was down to David Sutherland whose company erected the North and South stands in record time so that we didn't play at Pitoddrie for too long, Stewart Milne btw charged us £30,000 per game for use of the Dandies stadium, fuckin greedy thief.

We did have drainage problems which led to game postponements, I refer you to the Pcare site and the Article "Inverness Caledonian Thistle football club in deep water" which explains in depth the drainage problems and more especially how the pitch was wrongly constructed initially, interesting reading.

Highland Capital Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) £20 for a game against someone we already played last week and will be guaranteed to be playing at least four times a season anyway? Bit steep IMO.

sophia Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I thoroughly enjoyed the game last weekend and my purchase for a repeat of the same (+ goals) is a great investment. Really looking forward to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were the days when sheep shagging was an acceptable form of social life and men ran amock at the sight of a womans ankle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
