Gianfranco Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I don’t know how drains and plastic pitches work? Anyway I’m looking forward to the game if it’s on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The Astro at fir park is playing perfectly. Presumably it’s a lesser grade than Livi but who knows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Canny be any worse than that Scotland game at Hampden, squeegees at the ready. Fecking ref better no come out and give it a bounce test 2 mins before KO and declare it unplayable, like he did when we played Aberdeen, the p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming a kinda later arrival There's the parking at the shopping centre but will cost you so alternatively you can park at St Margarets Academy or Quarrywood Ct, Livingston EH54 6AX. Both are a 5-10 min walk at most from the stadium and are free with plenty space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few years ago it rained like this before a game with Aberdeen and the game was postponed just before kick off due to the amount of water on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a one-off or do you have a history of call-offs with drainage problems? Expecting lots of games to be off to be honest.

Expecting lots of games to be off to be honest. That particular game had a couple of call offs, think one was for snow and the other rain. Hasn't been too bad really, our old grass pitch was murder, about the only time it wasn't in danger of being postponed was when it was sunny. Drainage was murder, slightest bit of rain and you feared the worst. It's mostly been when we're in the snowy season we're at risk now, from frost, then you get the all weather pitch comments.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Does the pitch get rented out on a Saturday morning or kept free for the Livi match. Has there been any football on it this morning? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume any problems with drainage will be down to the layers below the pitch and the drainage infrastructure, all of which should be designed for significantly greater rainfall than this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory i think the drains around the pitch were blocked with slush from melting snow, and it had nowhere to go, which wont be the case today. Anyway, if there was a chance it would be off you'd think it would've had a pitch inspection announced by now, so fingers crossed continual rain up to 3PM wont change that any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Just been on the A71 and flooded all over the place. Passable but down to one lane (middle of the road) so need to be patient. Give yourself more time and arrive safe. looking at the Beeb it seems the weather is improving after about 3pm - not that it will do us much good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Dundee's game already called off (waterlogged pitch) Still I cant help remembering the game at St Johnstone last season where the team needed life preservers but it still went ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Twitter announcement. Should be plenty seats you can move to further back i'd think, unless you like sitting in the pissing rain.
