Melanius Mullarkey Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I’ve been sent a video of Lochee Utd’s pitch. It’s either that or Lochee baths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggie1984 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 At least the farmers know how to get a pitch playable. Embarrassing that a local junior teams pitch is playable ahead of a premiership teams pitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are showing a distinct lack of understanding with regards to why one pitch can be playable while another pitch in the same city can be unplayable due to rain. Google really is your friend in situations like this. Edited October 7, 2023 by Shadow Play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then let six fingered, banjo strumming yokels like yourself spend their time and benefit money travelling down before saying 30 minutes before kick off time that the game was off. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the early call off. Too many times our fans will be in Perth before a game is called off. Still does not answer why the pitch was not playable, when your lower neighbours was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it could be that at 9.30 AM the ground was playable but given the volume of rain expected it was decided that by 3 PM it'd be unplayable and therefore they wanted to prevent unnecessary travel for both your team and fans. Or it may be that the Lochee pitch is on sand. Where were Lochee's opponents coming from? Perhaps it wasn't as distant as Dingwall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that it was just waterlogged it’s a mud bath already so early in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was called off to protect the Dundee players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its happened once and the game was called off over an hour before kick off, after an inspection had been held 4 hours before kick off with the club making it clear there would be a 2nd inspection closer to kick off as the rain was expected to continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
