SeparateEntityMyArse 53,731 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Early pitch inspection? Though I'd imagine icy underfoot conditions in the stands and surrounding streets are as much a risk to the game going ahead as the pitch is .

Don't know about likely, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise. A shite astro pitch in freezing conditions, a mix of snow / ice in Glasgow and I'd assume in Kilmarnock too. Hopefully there's been enough time, planning and resources put into sorting these potential problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be shocked if it’s off because of the pitch. My Sunday team trained and played on Glasgow Uni science parks 4G for years, and it was never called off even when it was well into the minus figures. They run what looks like a giant brush over it and it breaks up any of the black stuff that’s frozen together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Plastic pitches can freeze over too - not all plastic pitches are all weather pitches, depends on the tech used and we all know Killie's is fucking horrific. Problem is the black shit on it freezes and makes it slippy AF They need to treat it with salt all day, continually cover the pitch with it then clean then cover This will be 50/50 IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,296 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Just have to wait and see. If the pitch is unplayable hopefully it's an early call off before fans start travelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
