If not then they are absolutley nuts and the " for the fans saftey" literally means nothing. Should still have called it earlier as the A90 was blocked at 2pm. Feel sorry for supporters clubs buses that have left along with fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I find frustrating - I was out in it most of the morning and it was horrendous...a quick look at the forecast would have suggested that there would be major flooding (there certainly is ootside my hoose) and roads closed (some due to snow from further inland) and that it was only sensible to call it off early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Only called off to allow Motherwell more time for their game against Livingston, IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Not shocked this is off - driving in the city isn't too tricky (just done city centre to Pittodrie-ish) but getting into it in the first place looks horrible. East End's ground probably looks like something out of a Tough Mudder event just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably make f**k all difference but the establishment clubs need to be looked after. Only fair after all. Edit to add. Ross County games all being postponed to allow Uncle Roy to spend his millions in the transfer window in time for the rescheduled games Edited December 27, 2023 by welldaft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Perfect winter's night for football in Aberdeen. I ran 4.5 miles in the morning, and I'll run 4.5 miles home and I've experienced far far worse than today. We might as well get the drama queens on Fubar News to decide whether the game is playable from now on. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise that most roads between Aberdeen and Motherwell are literally closed so nobody can get through dont you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you realise that the game is being played in Aberdeen not on the roads between Aberdeen and Motherwell? If both teams are in the city, and I believe they are, then the game should go ahead. It's not up to the 'authorities' to decide whether it's safe for the individual to travel. They have to be responsible enough to make that decision for themselves. Just because old Jock can't shift his tractor through his farm road in New Pistligo because it looks like the Somme doesn't mean the game should be off. The conditions in Aberdeen are perfect for a game of football. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you just wait a few weeks and have neither of those issues. Why not just wait? Whats the rush? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 It’s absolutely up to the footballing authorities to decide to call a game off if travelling is dangerous. I’m not sure who else would do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An empty stadium!? There would've been plenty of fans in tonight. The likelihood is that the rearranged game will be played in worse conditions than tonight. It benefits Aberdeen, because we are beginning to get a fixture backlog before the split with the winter break and Scottish Cup, it benefits Aberdeen because we get to play against a team with a condemned manager, it benefits Aberdeen because we still have Miovski and we're practically at full strength squad wise which might not be the case at the end of January, it benefits Aberdeen because we're on a good run at the moment. It probably doesn't benefit Motherwell but I'm an Aberdeen fan and don't care too much about them. Who is to say winter won't really kick in during February and more games postponed? So that's the rush... Edited December 27, 2023 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
