I hate missing games but the weather is even worse out there compared to the the last two weeks. It's just farcical all round for this to go ahead.

However, I will grim & bare like the rest of us.

Not great but not dangerous by the same token. No way it should be off unless the pitch is unplayable

I’ll grin if we win but I’m not up to bare anything in this weather :wink:

I'm surprised there hasn't at least been a pitch inspection after all the constant heavy rain that has fallen?

What is everyone moaning about? The sun is shining. It has stopped raining. Still a bit of wind but hey, if you call it off today, it will be worse in some dark mid-week for the revised date.

I’m on Easter road and it’s fine although the weather in the boozer is always pretty nice.

Maybe we can have a Weather thread at the top of the forum for the people that piss their pants over a bit of rain and wind each week.

A weather warning and 50 mile per hour winds doesn't happen each week though does it?

As I said i'm more than happy to take my seat but the game will be played in farcical conditions - Fact!

I've been out three times tackling a poor seal on a windscreen cowl. Lovely weather for ten minutes, mild and quite pleasant. Then followed by sleet and blowing a hoolie. As long as it's dry on the way it want be too bad

My point isny about standing in the rain or getting wet etc, I've stood behind the goals at Cowdenbeath & Alloa in recent years and got absolutely soaked on both occasions and was fine with that.

However, this is a massive game and would have preferred to see the game played in normal conditions and not 50 mph winds.

It’s absolutely crap weather and while I wouldn’t be disappointed if it was off i also don’t think it should be. It’s just a bit miserable really.

It's sunny and raining at the minute which pretty much sums today's weather up nicely.

A 3rd game in a row in which conditions are not going to be conductive to good football. Game shouldn't be off but it's just a bit crap watching a game in which simple passes become a lottery.

Hands up guys. Now that I'm standing outside the ground, it's no where near as bad from looking at the tree that looked like getting blown over from my house window or what the met office is reporting.. 😁

I’ve seen much worse. Other than us being pretty pish so far, I don’t think the lack of quality is down to the weather at all.

Arbroath game called off at half time for that reason.

I couldn't get there today as we were running a 10k in the Glasgow this morning but for those who travel a distance to a game, it's understandable not to go. Loads of rivers and streams burst their banks so lots of standing water on the roads, lots of cars aquaplaning and if the weather continues some may struggle to get home safely.

Those having a go at other fans because they're concerned about the weather and have decided not to take the risk are the ones who need a word with themselves.

The ball is sticking badly id have said. I can’t see much being created in these conditions.
