alfraser1963 0 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 not looking good for Sunday.Roads still got loads of snow and all the pavements are covered in snow as well.Seems to be no effort being made to clear them,so unless there is a rapid thaw,game has to be in doubt.Looks like Edin Council roads dept workers are sleeping as usual Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,448 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Pitch looked fine on ssn, some snow but easily cleared, the surrounding areas of the stadium should be mostly cleared up by sunday to make it safe enough for fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper1989 0 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Probably waiting for the last of the snow to fall -- if any -- before clearing. Last I checked it's going to be approx 4-5 Celsius on Sunday... game will be on. But.. who can blame hibs for not wanting to face the Mighty Glasgow Rangers?

BBC Weather currently has it no higher than 1 C in Edinburgh between now and Sunday so it doesn't look like there'll be a thaw before the game. That said, as long as there is no further snow they should still be able to get the game on. The TV company (is it Sky or ESPN for this one?) will put a lot of pressure on, so hopefully it will go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main roads will be okay for sunday and as long as hibs get their pitch in order i cant see any problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gartcosh Bear 124 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 It said on Sky Sports News earlier today that the undersoil heating at Easter Road wil be left on over Christmas, so the pitch should be playable. It's just up to Edinburgh Council to pull the finger out and make sure the surrounding areas are okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Unless there is a snow blizzard or a major freeze over, then this game will go ahead! Hibs will want this game to go ahead, just as much as we do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 631 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 pitch looks fine on ssn. the main roads are not too bad in the area (in that where i live i can see the excuse of a stadium from my flat window). the game will go ahead, te sfa are under so much pressure to get top flight games played this season after the mess of the last couple of seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
