Gaz92 966 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 In all honesty we should be lucky we've not had a game called off up til now.Bound to happen at least a couple of times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyren 601 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I hope its still on, this is the second time ive got myself mentally prepared for this trip, i start cracking sitting on a bus more than a couple of hoursnothing but admiration for those bears that do the euro jaunts on a bus, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrawfordRfc 143 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I've no even sorted out a bus for this yet. Honestly I fully expect it to be called off by mid-day tomorrow. Inverness has to get the worst of any "floods" and it's a bawhair away from there is it no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougied123 222 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 there has been very little rain today, where other places in the country are on flood alert. Lossiemouth on flood alert tonight due to sea defences being damaged last weekend.I will be the first on here to let you know if there is any problems, so far there is no reason why this game shouldnt go ahead. Although we have still to have tomorrows security meeting where it all went tits up last time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougied123 222 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Is it a grass pitch mate ?Yes it is, the training pitches are at the rear of the stadium which flood with a bit of regularity however the stadium doesnt flood very often at all.

mclovin9091 1,408 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Is it a grass pitch mate ?Aye its grass, but more of a park surrounded by 3 1/2 ft high railing and a bus stop Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBunny 441 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm getting a bit confused. Is the game that was called off rescheduled? Did we have a free weekend?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougied123 222 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 honestly, the met office have issued weather warnings for the amount of rain to fall over the next few days. None of which cover Elgin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonderry_Bear 111 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 honestly, the met office have issued weather warnings for the amount of rain to fall over the next few days. None of which cover Elgin.Yea this is the rescheduled game, the SFL done a bit of fiddling with the fixture list and moved the Annan game, if I remember correctly, to midweek to accommodate this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
