The carnival down on riverside where the pitches are usually playable , was closed yesterday due to flooding and Cakes of mud everywhere , hope this helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 19 minutes ago, Shadow Play said: You’ve already stated the that if Dundee don’t “shell out a fortune” on their pitch for next season the SPFL will rule it unplayable. I think neither thing will happen. Dundee will not spend big money and the pitch will not be ruled unplayable. We will certainly find out soon enough. I guess we will both just have to be a little patient to see who has assessed the situation correctly. They'll have to prove to the SPFL that it won't have the same issues again next season, which will cost a fortune based on Dundees fans claims about why the pitch floods. I've shown you Motherwell had that exact situation when they had multiple postponements in the same season before. Dundee fans just seem to be assuming it won't happen to them because they don't want it to. There is a precedent and that was with less postponements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s clearly an issue with the drainage but I don’t see what more the club could have done for this game. I’m optimistic it’ll go ahead. Think it will go ahead as they the refs will be instructed that they need this game to go ahead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.T Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Dunno why we’re being told to rip the pitch up if the problem is actually the drainage on Dens Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been suggested many times, but has it been confirmed this is the problem? If so, surely Scottish Water and/or the cooncil should be on the hook as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 2 hours ago, AJF said: Additionally, the SPFL have the weekend of the 20/21 April they could use should the game today be postponed with neither team still in the Scottish Cup. They've got the midweek of 16th/17th April before that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're trying to ensure all games before the split are completed at the same time if they could impact on top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 7 minutes ago, hk blues said: I think they're trying to ensure all games before the split are completed at the same time if they could impact on top 6. That’s not a consideration. There’s been many examples over the years of a team in contention for the top 6 playing at a different time to the rest. The issue will be that the SPFL will want to release the fixtures as soon as possible after next week’s games are done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t, that is nothing to do with how the SPFL have scheduled the fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
