Police warning against unnecessary road journeys in the next 24 hours. Surely the game will be postponed?

Maybe not waterlogged but very mucky n slippy. Anyway hopefully it's on .

Jings I really don’t know what Rahman was trying to get Alfred to say? 🤔

I do wish Alfred wouldn’t keep on telling the opposition what he’s had the team working on, kinda tells then I think our tactics before we take the field.

I'm hoping that the energy he speaks of in training remains for the full match, can’t allow Tarts time on the ball over could be exposed, hoping for a few changes but not Cookie to start, might be good off the bench later on, would want Polsen,  JKL and Johnny K starting with Moorman and Longo in defence, Said, Faddy, Levitt, Kanga in midfield and Lowry n Thor in attack, bench Hodge, Sparrow, Seb, SOD n Mas.

a draw would a good point but I’m hopeful a Well victory.

I think our bad run will continue because we are weak all over the park.

The rain is due to ease off from the torrential stuff today  and the wind will help ensure the park is not flooded . I think the game will go ahead but will be ruined by the wind.

Hearts sound to be bare bones for the game. Hope it goes ahead for that reason alone. Would give us a slight chance.

[grizzlyg]

Yup they have a few injury concerns which definitely helps us so fingers..........oh hold on again........'ehhh dos mojitos por favor'....🤣🤣

I'm not convinced we could take a weakened Hearts team. Look what Kilmarnock got today, humped , they are pish one of the worst teams Ive seen and they stuck 3 past us, 

Lost 3 to St Mirren

Lost 4 to Aberdeen 

Lost 3 to Kilmarnock 

 

Thats 3 rank teams and we've conceded 10 goals to them. A weakened Hearts team is still better than those 3. I suspect our utterly inept results will continue tomorrow.

[Big Stall]

The weather & conditions will be shite, we are btutal at the moment. Could be doing with another week to get priestman back & hopefully the coaches showing the gaffer how we played last season.

My 8year old is desparate for the game to be on, im hoping for a duvet day 🙈🙈

No way the game goes ahead. Still warnings against travelling. Wind still gusting up to 45 to 50mph at 8am

The weather today is no different from the conditions that the St Mirren game when ahead in yesterday except there was more torrential rain yesterday. Ill be surprised if the game is called off. I'm hoping it is because theres no enjoyment playing a game in these winds.

[wellfan]

The rain is due to stop later this morning, but the gusty wind is expected to continue. I reckon they’ll give it until 11am before making a decision.

[Kmcalpin]

Wind strength forecast to increase slightly before kick off. Why would the SPFL go against Police advice? They don't normally do that.

They went against it yesterday with the St Mirren game

[mio]

I’ll not be going today if it’s on, I’d happily watch any game in the p1551n rain, snow, freezing cold but playing games in 60mph wind is a joke. Never watched a good game in those conditions. Dreadful for players/fans. Waste of time

[ppower]

Checked Met Office site. Wind gust to be over 50mph at 2pm. Travel warnings in place.

Same as yesterday and the full SPFL card went ahead as did the Championship. It would be strange to cancel todays card for same wind but less rain. 

[MJC]

Club have just posted the promotion for the game today on the socials. 
 

it includes “take care when travelling. Allow extra time for travel disruption.”

By the sounds of it they are expecting the game to go ahead.

Certainly less rain that yesterday but wind is far stronger.

Was it at Aberdeen a couple of seasons ago that both Aberdeen and Motherwell requested a cancellation on safety grounds because police advised against all travel? Permission refused by football authorities. Also Dundee where our game was only called off after pictures posted online of roads closed due to floods and fans stranded as a result. Again police advice  hours before was not to travel. May have the venues  mixed up but there are numerous examples of police advice being ignored. There was also a game at Ibrox only cancelled when a team (St Johnstone?)refused to travel for safety reasons. Again following earlier police warnings. 

Simply put, the fans and their safety are not a consideration where the Scottish football authorities are concerned.

Just been out walking my 2 dogs in Biggar .. they nearly got blown away with the gusts .

There is no way I am travelling to watch the game today if it’s on ..

Game will be a shambles.. will watch on from my armchair and have a good laugh

Correct and with the game being Live on TV neither the Hibs v Celtic games or the Motherwell v Hearts games will be postponed because of wind. Conditions are better rain wise and no worse than yesterday wind wise when a full card went ahead.. The SPFL couldn't give two fucks if fans are inconvenienced or the game ruined by the wind. We've all been going long enough to know that corporate money is the deciding factor 9 times out of 10.
