Personally I’m ok with it being postponed , more chance for new additions to get acquainted with team , and the chance of further additions to make the team stronger 

as a few had said with hedges away and no further replacements we would have been short on creativity hopeful of this being addressed

I wouldn’t have thought so. It gives Cormack/Gunn a bit time to readjust the squad for the next game. That definitely would have been in their top thoughts whilst calling off the match.

I would have said yes - as  I said earlier in the post it was pretty much a bomb site round the beach area as the wind was basically off the sea.

We don’t play on the beach…hell, we don’t even train on it anymore.

Hope someone let out a big warning shout of FORE as it flew across the sky heading into an unwanted area.

Thankfully won't be an issue with our new stadium plans.

That's exactly what I thought when he tweeted that.. get there were safety considerations around the local area, but to post some pics of some blown over signs and to say there's was not enough time to make things safe ?

Aye, and by the time we play, JET will have lost three stone and be chasing all over the pitch.

Don't indulge him.

Lose cladding at height as well. Would have needed to mobilise a rope access team or erect scaffolding to reach it and make safe and assess for further damage. That wouldn't have been done in time for kick off as too windy to do anything to make safe.

Fire brigade blocking Pittodrie Street because the flat roof of the golf club had own off. The police will have had the final say and called it early.

What's the big deal, why are folk getting their knickers in a bunch? The game would have been murder being played in that wind.

A couple of signs was the least of the worries.

Mind you…they posted a picture of Glass and told us he was the best candidate for the job. 
They obviously believe what they say.

I would have sent Deano up a set of ladders to just pull the cladding down. Jenks could have held the ladders steady for him. Job done and very safely at that. 
Absolutely no need to call a match off because of the cladding and a few blown over signs. The hierarchy bottled it yesterday as we are short of quality.

Fuck me peely waaly toonser fuckers, 

I went by a  tattie shed gable end blown off tattie boxes strewn across road, and cars just weaving thier way through, 

Fucking trampolines, and Wheely bins blowing away and the toonser are agog!

 

[RED_JOHN]

I often wonder if something like the bit of breeze we had yesterday was to blame for Stewart Milne losing his beloved and just having to go commando from the neck up as a result?

[Millertime]

Any word as to rescheduled date?

[Ten Caat]

Will surely be the same week that sevco are playing in Europe?

The wind direction on Saturday morning was westerly veering into the north west. So coming off the land, not the sea! If coming off the sea ( predominately easterly directions) we would’ve had a hell of a lot more damage around Pittodrie and the beach area.
