Maniac Cop Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Getting a bit silly now, they aren't having much luck. Link to comment
Guest SS RED Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 They'll have to move it Pittodrie, this is a bit of a joke now, how many time sis that now? Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's very difficult to know what to do here.... The SFA really will have to sort something out, it's completely unacceptable for a series of cup ties to have been called off so many times. I believe that must be 7 or 8 times in total now over both ties. Common sense has to prevail, the game must be moved elsewhere. Fans and players have to book time off work for these matches - this can't keep happening. A precend must set for next season... two consective call offs and the tie is moved to the closest viable alternative, or something along those lines. Link to comment

SFA need to be changing scottish cup dates so clubs don't play games in December and January, espeically with more small clubs entering now. And game could have been moved to viable alternative nearby which would be Peterhead but the weather there would be just as bad and games off there aswell. Link to comment
Dandyjam Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 They're trying again on Wednesday. Hopefully game gets go ahead this time as getting silly now. Link to comment
gypsymuffin Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I dont think the game should be moved. It it gets called off ten times so be it, they should keep trying until the get the game played at Harlaw Park. Link to comment
fatshaft Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Either install undersoil heating or get the f**k out the cup Hardly within the wallets of most of the Scottish league teams, never mind highland league and Junior teams. Link to comment
Maniac Cop Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Could they not just play it at Pittodrie? Link to comment
bruceg1978 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Why was it called off at 9am this morning? It has turned out to be a decent day and the frost would have shifted by now. Could have asily been played tonight in my opinion. Motherwell would have not left until around midday. Link to comment
bruceg1978 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Na na min Roberto i'll still have my footy days thats for sure. Link to comment

Peterhead therefor would not have been a VIABLE alternative then, if the pitch there was also frozen. Link to comment

K-9 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Covers have been down overnight and sun is out now. Surely should have held off til lunchtime and see if thawing? Link to comment
buzz15afc Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 with all the call offs motherwell had last season because of there pitch being flooded or whatever, there is no way locos should feel bad about this or have to change venue, after all its january in the north east of scotland!!

Dandyjam Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Game is on after pitch inspection this morning but be interesting to see what condition pitch will be in later with snow and low temperatures forecast. Link to comment
