Dundee Hibernian Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'd suggested this Saturday as an alternative, but the weather looks dreadful for then as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 It seems there going to be a PPV option if the game is on https://ppv.livingstonfc.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I'd pre warn you guys just in case.. Looking at the weekend forecast I'd be amazed if this (or many games) go ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Game’s clearly going to be off. Hopefully they make the call by lunchtime, won’t hold my breath though… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I thought Livi's pitch was all weather If this is off Livi should just be relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been said to death on here but the elevation and location of the stadium causes a lot of issues for the pitch. The southside of the pitch gets zero sunlight for about 6 months each year. We don't own the stadium or the pitch either, that's down to West Lothian Council as well. If it was a grass pitch, it would easily be 10x worse than what we have right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spot in central Scotland which gets zero sunlight for six months of the year. Quite a feat, tbf. Presumably couldn't get planning permission for the dark side of the moon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably couldn't get planning permission for the dark side of the moon. Obviously been a lot of discussion over it the last 5 months or so but the main issue is the southside goalmouth, and the corner flag. No undersoil heating as well means it's a pain in the arse to thaw it out. No clue why it wasn't raised when the stadium was being built, it's not like it's that long ago compared to other stadiums. That said, it's also placed at the bottom of a valley next to a river. It's a terrible location for a stadium in practical ways, the saving grace is how central to the town it is. It's very easy to get to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I remember our grass pitch used to be ruled unplayable far more regularly than the artificial one has been.

Was always flooded too, and looked like a tattie field the last couple of seasons before we got the artificial pitch done. Covers down in the problem area so hopefully that protects it from the overnight frost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durnford Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Seems warmer this morning. Don't get me wrong; a layer of frost all over the cars but the roads and pavement doesn't seem as bad as it was yesterday. Depends on whether we get snow but hopefully its missing us. Covers have to be left on until 7pm at least; minus 2 forecast for kick-off so who knows. Expect multiple pitch inspections: Livingston F.C. v Dundee United F.C. cinch Premiership 08/03/2023 7:45pm Tony Macaroni Arena Referee: Matthew MacDermid AR1 David Doig AR2 Colin Drummond Fourth Official Scott Lambie VAR Steven McLean AVAR Sean Carr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothiangamer Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 According to the met office no snow for Livingston until late tomorrow night. Temp is meant to get up to a massive 2 degress but feel like -2 during the day but tonight is -2 and feel like -4. if it does go ahead hope there's a lot of out of your seat moments to keep us warm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I see Matthew MacDermid refereed the 1 - 0 Kilmarnock v Dundee United game on 1st Feb. He dished out four yellows and awarded a penalty for United (which Fletcher missed). It would be interesting to hear what United supporters thought of his performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
