Sawkye Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 With the rain today and forecast for next two days we could have an pitch inspection on Friday. God l hate the weather. Anyone know yet how tickets for Scottish Cup will be allocated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Low tide being at 15:36 on Saturday might help us a bit. But I'd already imagine this will be in doubt. Mind you. With the amount of sand on the pitch maybe it'll all be soaked up into a nice, spongey porridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had dire failures to do that last season and then had the cheek to hide behind match refs having no option but to postpone games close to kick-off. It's not rocket science. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Groundsman has an assistant now, this enables The Groundsman to just wander up & down the Main Stand side track for 90 mins pointing at things, whilst holding a coffee/pie on match days while his assistant works on the pitch & everything else. I noticed this during the past couple of home games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MacLean Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 With Thistle playing tonight this tasty looking match would ordinarily be my game of choice tomorrow. The weather forecast coupled with previous issues with late postponments means I'll likely look elsewhere for a football fix tomorrow. Don't fancy getting off the train at Dumbarton East to see the game postponed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Castlegreen St was already starting to flood in places at 6pm last night and was much the same early this morning. There are teams of guys currently trying to pump the water away from underneath the railway bridge and what looks like a crew of grafters along at Gruggies Burn, which was a bawhair away from bursting its banks when I passed it at 8am. Lets hope we’ve got the groundsman’s assistant on standby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The weather has been much more cooperative today (compared to yesterday). Really hope this goes ahead as we are taking in the matchday hospitality for an early birthday day out for @son hawk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Duncan Williams the referee tomorrow. Wonder if he'll be in the mood he was in at Ochilview and booking players every time they touch the ball after his whistle. Or the mood he was in a fortnight later when he let Stefan McCluskey boot the ball out the ground three times before he earned a booking. Either way, I hope Faz has drilled it into our players to avoid any daft bookings for anything like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's dreich and raining but it's far from torrential. I drove earlier this morning and there was no surface water at the usual problem areas. Apparently the pitch was vert-drained recently but I suppose we don't know how hard the turf is following the recent frosts. The recent weather has been typical for this time of year, and whilst there has been a fair bit of rain, if the grass pitch can't cope then we're surely approaching the game being a bogey for much winter football down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one I can mark off my pitch management bingo card then, I'll be honest it's something thats been mentioned on here loads before and I have no idea what idea what it actually means outside of draining the pitch, presumably vertically 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
