TxRover Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Amusingly already noted five years ago: https://www.theguardian.com/football/when-saturday-comes-blog/2018/jan/04/orange-football-snow-chelsea-fifa-subbuteo Related to that, the Puma Orbita is now the “Official SPFL Match Ball”, and comes in white and yellow versions (replaced the Mitre Delta, in while and yellow). https://www.puma-catchup.com/puma-is-the-official-match-ball-provider-for-the-spfl-and-swpl/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it will be early 90s probably, before the snowflake generation..... probably not allowed in the halls of Scottish football as its clearly sectarian TBH I'm surprised some clubs and fans havent objected to green grass yet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single outfield home player wearing long sleeves or gloves either ................... must be during the Butcher years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to look this one up out of curiosity. It was Butcher’s second game the week after we drew 0-0 with Celtic. A lot of ICT fans were sporting Butcher head bandages with blood ketchup and the Celtic fans were chanting “Argentina!” Our fans responded with “Thierry Henry” to the tune of “Tom Hark”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I see the forecast is for -2/3 over night until the weekend and not getting to high above 0 during the day. I assume this means the pitch is a major doubt? Are they likely to make the call Friday night? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sorry ICT fans, but going by your teams performance against us I think Rovers will over run your guys. I almost stood and applauded Rovers at EEP in the cup game, they were mighty impressive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) This is looking doubtful now going by the forecast sub zero through the night and Saturday afternoon. Shame if it does as we’ve planned a trip this weekend to spend it in Aviemore but little chance I’d be able to attend a rearranged midweek game. When will it be called off if it’s going to happen ?

CityDave94 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Historically extremely rare for our games to be called off due to a frozen pitch even without undersoil heating. I have my doubts a little snow will be a problem either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just an assumption or do you know this for certain? Do ICT always use this when the cold bites? (I was under the impression most clubs stopped using their undersoil heating when in the championship due to costs). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I don't believe we have it functioning any more and if we did, certainly wouldn't be firing it up for a 1500 fan home game against Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
