Exactly when is this decision expected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 2 minutes ago, Thereisalight.. said: Wouldn't even need a ref! Anyone with a brain cell I mean the met office and ScotRail issued warnings on Sunday/yesterday about tonight being stinking weather It might of Arbroath haven’t arrived. It certainly used to be the case that if there was a concern raised, a local ref would go early and make the call on behalf of the match official. I guess if Ayr had an injury crisis, they could phone up Arbroath and say, weather is stinking, can we just postpone if it wasn’t down to a referee. Maybe there is one scheduled at 12 or 1 to do an inspection before Arbroath are due to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus selfishly I'd rather stay cosy in the house watching a TV game than be at Somerset tonight freezing my baws off through "loyalty" (stupidity) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not suggesting any sculduggery at play here but I imagine Ayr will be desperate for this game to be on so it may be them hoping the weather changes a bit or that the ref deems it playable. A win for Ayr tonight would be massive and you would think they’ll try all they can to get it played - playing the bottom club who have an unspecified number of first choice players out injured and most of their “fit” and available players have been working today. I would be thinking the same if the roles were reversed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Arbroath having injuries and players that are working today makes not one bit of difference when the weather is like this. Makes the game a lottery. Pretty sure in that game last season one of the Arbroath goals seemed to get sucked in from a corner or a throw in Edited January 23 by Thereisalight.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a lot of rain, but the pitch drainage has improved drastically since a new one was laid at the start of the season. The wind will be the issue, and it will be a big issue. Can't see the game making it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset doesn't really get churned up that badly. It's a really well-looked-after pitch. f**k all to be done about the wind though. At least it's a few hundred yards from the sea unlike Gayfield, but that doesn't help all that much. Should just put a giant net over it like a fives pitch. Would also reduce the mortal danger from divebombing seagulls. Edited January 23 by Thumper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
