Glad its off but feel sorry for fans who have travelled, an absolute embarrasment for scottish football, Sky must be livid.

Sure I heard Sky scrapped showing an EFL championship game tonight to show ours instead. They'll be fuming.

[blueballss 2,975]

is that us just being told it will be played next Wednesday?

Paul aye? 

He won't be laughing in the summer  regardless of the amount he will be getting paid for it.

Never got his name mate. Was just a young lad

[Old No7. 833]

I don't think Sky will be keen to show many Dundee games next season after this debacle. Albeit they are only interested when it's us or them playing there.

[BlueAvenger 10,519]

Too risky to drop points and injuries but I’m fuckin sick that we will be fuckin 4 points behind going into Sunday. Useless bastards

I’d rather be cautious about this game than worry about Hearts at Hampden tbh mate, Hearts at Hampden isn’t even an issue in my mind 

We are now going to play 3 games in 7 days. Every other team will be suitably rested. Its not about hearts or worrying but through no fault of our own we are the semi finalists who have the least amount of recovery time and also have the double risk of injury at either county or Dundee

An early rescheduling is absolutely crucial for us to plan our preparation/training etc.

Where though ? 

[beararse 6,489]

I’m pretty sure if FK Viking Stravanger can afford 3 of these, Dundee could probably stretch to owning them if they have a great desire to play in the SPFL.

Aye people will be going mental if we get injuries to key players who miss the cup SF or even the final Old Firm game.

[TartanTeddy 770]

I'm still trying to get my head around an SPFL team not having a rain cover that actually covers the full pitch - I mean seriously, that would surely cost fuck all and should be a mandatory requirment?

[MacBoyd 5,669]

They can't seriously be playing it at dens ffs. Why not play it at fucking Hampden.

Could have dropped points or picked up injuries if we played on that tonight aswell

Rearranged fixture can't be played at their ground. No guarantee it'll be on. 

This. If the split fixtures are delayed until next Thursday there's no wiggle room.

Because there's SC Semi Finals to be played on that pitch 3 days later

It's pishing rain forecast right through to Wednesday. Its utter nonsense to be trying to play this game at Dens Park.

They had two chances to get a game on so fuck any disadvantage they may claim by moving it.

It's the fact that they are deciding to do the same shit next week just hoping the weather will be ok or the pitch will be fine. Fucking shambles.
