Neil Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Just came in from work and in the car, the temperature was given as -4, now, the game against Hearts was postponed in not unlike temperatures, I know it was frosty prior to that, but I have to wonder if the club have taken all necessary precautions about the weather this time. Â The grass on the way from the bus stop is all frozen, I can only hope the ground is ok, otherwise we are looking at a MASSIVE fine and possible point deduction. Â I know it's hypothetical at this stage, but part of me is waiting for it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 It was -3.2 in the car on the way to work there, i'm late because it took me so long to get the frost off the window  Please Motherwell have the heating on, or the balloon.

delboy Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 yes I can also confirm it was cold last night (-5.5C in a couple of places along the M74) as for the state of the Fir Park pitch......................................   who knows   but.................   I'm guessing there will be an pitch inspection around now so we may find out soon.

Tweed Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Floodlights were on early doors when I was in the ticket queue but couldn't see anyone working on it when I left. Certainly didn't seem to be massive concern. Entirely speculation though. It is beginning to thaw naturally though so I suspect there might not be too much of a problem.

Bop Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 No pitch inspection - game is on. Â Â Then why are the girls answering the phone saying there is an inspection at 12 oclock? Ive just phoned again after your post and they are still saying the same thing! Â Â After reading my post back, it sounds like i'm having a go at you mate. I'm not, just want to know why your so confident of no inspection when staff at Fir Park are saying there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hope its on obviously and it looked like the groundstaff were in plenty early (before 7 certainly) Â It was -4 when I went to clear the car to head up to the Ark at 06:30 the coldest I've noted for a while certainly colder than the eve of the Hearts game, but it's been only a 9-10 hour freeze at most so far. Â So surely with even the most basic protection in place ( we're told we have basic plus extra measures at considerable cost ) the game should go ahead if not we be as well resigning from the league just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bop Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Someone at the club is informing fans there is an inspection at 12 over the telephone number 01698 333 333.

It must be you that is confused mate...  I've been in early doors and there has never been an inspection planned and no-one has said that over the phone... I've just checked with everyone answering calls!  To re-iterate... THERE IS NO INSPECTION!  'Flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Last night's low got to -5.6, that puts it in the top five lowest temps of the entire year. However, given the ground had thawn out after over two weeks with the temps above freezing (bar two slight frosts early in the period) the ground shouldnt' be solid right through. Â If the game doesn't go ahead, I doubt few will have any sympathy this time. It simply must go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 The game must be borderline. The weather has not been kind to pitch that appears to have no working undersoil heating. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
