To give us more time to sink pints of McEwan's 80 schilling in Dundee's finest boozers before the match

[Green-Hibee-7]

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Would normally be looking forward to a good day out in Dundee,but after recent events,at the club,nah...just nah..

[Del Boy]

Apart from the injury time Tannadice was a great day out last month, cracking pubs in Dundee, opposition fans good craic in the main and old school stadium atmosphere. Don’t enjoy Dens as much but should be a good day out and late kick off time means a good session in the pub on the cheap Dundee pints

Would not be surprised if Dundee's ***** pitch can't handle it again.

[Pretty Boy]

My group had booked trains well in advance before the KO was changed so will be in Dundee at 11.45. I think the general feeling is let's enjoy a day in Dundee's many fine hostelries and the football is secondary.

I like Dundee as a city so I'm looking forward to it. The Phoenix and Trades will both be getting a visit then take it from there. If the weather puts paid to the football then all the better:greengrin

I've just recently discovered another couple of cracking pubs further along Perth Road from The Phoenix. The Tay Bridge Bar and The Speedwell Bar, highly recommend all 3.

An old favourite of mine is Tickety Boo's along towards the bus station.

For people that like a flutter on the horses The Caws Bar is a good racing pub, cheap as chips too.

Fans seem to be voting with their feet - plus game is on TV for some - weather / cost of tickets.

Be interesting to see the crowd against Aberdeen also.

I think there's little going on at Hibs just now that inspires any confidence resulting drop off in attendance.

Definitely one for the best of our supporters on Saturday.

Hopefully the team appreciate their efforts and send them home happy for a wee change.

According to the club on X, 1500 heading up to Dens tomorrow night.

I’m not sure that’s accurate to be honest based on the seating map on Dundees website. Although I’m just looking at, I’ve not done a dot count.

If it’s around that figure, all things considered, TV, form, weather and general negativity around the place, it’s a good effort all things considered.

Heard on the radio that the Queensferry crossing has been closed.

Queensferry crossing closed both directions, don't know why and don't know for how long.

[Broken Gnome]

I typically want these games to be off as I never trust Hibs to suck it up and grind out a win.

If police are recommending no one travels north of the central belt, as Forth just seemed to suggest, it seems to go at odds with playing most football in the country.

Agree. Queensferry crossing closed, ScotRail abandoning services, Lothian Buses have patched every bus until further notice. Get it cancelled and avoid anything silly.

[Del Boy]

I think if it was a 3pm KO it would be getting postponed but with the weather set to calm down early afternoon I think it will go ahead. Meant to be getting train in an hour or so…

So they say, but the issue is if it gets to 3/4pm and it's still like this and they call it off with folk in the middle of trying to make the trip you're just going to piss people off.

Another potential call off reason will be the state of their crappy pitch

If the closure remains in place into the afternoon the game will presumably be called off.

I'm on a Lothian bus headed to Waverly for the 11:30 train which is running.

Lothian Buses put out a statement saying services are being withdrawn, must be a case of them stopping future buses going back out until further notice.

I'm in Highland Perthshire. M90 closed in both directions Friarton bridge so no one getting to Dundee via M90

Good luck with that. When I purchased my ticket through the week they were wanting an (optional) extra £3 to guarantee a refund just in case the game got cancelled and you couldn’t get to the rearranged fixture.

Probably took that stance because of their spate of cancellations last season. Only in Scottish football would a club be allowed to make money out of fans through their incompetence and sub-standard facilities.

Maybe they could get winter tyres for the buses?

Maybe the council could get out and grit the roads? Utter chaos in the south of Edinburgh this morning. Def right call from Lothian buses to suspend.

Maybe the council could get out and grit the roads? Utter chaos in the south of Edinburgh this morning. Def right call from Lothian buses to suspend.

I’ve been in Stockbridge and leith this morning and it doesn’t seem anywhere near bad enough to suspend the whole service.

It may well be bad in certain areas, but there’s no need for it to be off in the centre/north of the city from what I’ve seen.

I have deleted Twitter and will not look at it again.

Oh, and apology accepted.

[NC1875]

Was heading to Loch Lomond earlier, got as far as Newbridge and turned back. Roads were terrible, numerous crashes, cars stuck etc.

A wee bit snow in this country and it comes to a standstill.

[SteveHFC]

Tbh if the game is called off now then it's nothing short of farcical with 3 hours before KO and most away fans will already have started travelling.

Rangers v utd delayed until 3 45
St mirren v dons pitch inspection 3pm with 4 pm ko of it passes
Tom English spot on when he says it a total shambles

This is on the DFC website - "Due to the weather conditions only one food kiosk will be open in the South Enclosure"

I've read that to mean one kiosk in the ground, but anyway, just incase you fancy something hot.

I've driven from south Edinburgh to Loanhead and back and the main roads and bypass are fine. It's the potholes that are the problem, not snow!

Edinburgh City off after a 2.30 inspection. Sure, hardly going to be a big crowd, but that's very late.

Think that's a dozen games off now.

I was due to cover Hamilton v Raith Rovers. Went really early and still got caught on M8. Cars facing wrong way, lorries jack-knifed and sitting for an hour hardly moving. The inside lane was fine but ouitside was a bit icy. The reason for all teh delays was bad driving in cars likely on summer tyres. Hamilton called off as I approached Livi so desk sent me to Edinburgh City. Got back there to hear there was a Pitch Inspection and then as I was going into ground they all started coming out with shovels saying game off. Not an issue for me as I am home 3 hours earlier than anticipated and still get my shift but what a shambles for fans. If there are going to be yellow travel warning when teh bulk of fans are travelling let the clubs re-arrange in plenty of time

[Blaster]

I think there will be a change at centre back

[SHODAN]

Clearing up nicely now, think game should be ok.

Dundee out a pic up of the pitch and it looks fine so I doubt the game will be off

Same here -thaw underway. but i find it amazing how people assume that what they have in their area is same x miles away. even on this thread people saying no problems roads fine etc (paraphrase)... while broxden roundabout full of stuck vehicles M8 at a standstill.

One of our neighbours call to ask 'hows weather for getting in' told that nothing getting in till thaw... and hour later his 4x4 is stuck at bottom of track with him saying ... 'but it was fine 6 miles away :rolleyes:

Agreed. Aberdeen at paisley, for example, is a hell of a trek in this weather. The police advised not to travel unnecessarily so the games should have been called off first thing. Yeah the teams probably travelled on Friday.

I just have absolutely no idea how he can so regularly chuck boys in from the cold and then we don’t see them for weeks

Campbell hasn’t played since his sub appearance at Dundee United

[bingo70]

I’m sure Flash will point out how petty this is and in the greater scheme of things, it’s probably not a sackable offence however even the way we announce our team annoys me.

Why does it have to be an annoying wee video of the team sheet on Twitter, I’m far too simple a man to make sense of the team with a moving background, is it designed to confuse simpletons like me?

It’s working if so.

There's no one to replace him. Smith is rank and boruc is as well.

No Ekpiteta will be a miss at the back.

Surprised at Campbell starting, Myko back leading the line.

Starting line up don't give us much confidence but still Mon the Hibs.

[Murphys Touch]

Listen guys - we can moan (and I’m one of them) that he has given a lot of the same guys a chance and then equally when go mad when the starting line up is announce and there are a few head scratching changes

It’s a sorry sign of where we are that he is literally at “throwing **** at the wall” stage but he is hoping to stumble on something.

Fair play for being brave but highlights the absolute lack of planning

[The Harp]

Well done to all the Hibs fans travelling to Dundee for the game. Hope you're rewarded with 3 points.

'mon the Hibs.

[hibee-boys]

Campbell must be playing no.10. How many years down the line have we tried a midfield containing Newell and Campbell…..how many managers have got the sack trying it out. Aw well, every chance they’ll see another one off soon.

[cabbageandribs1875]

play JC in the no 10 roll :)

[Exuberance1875]

That’s a relegation 11 if I’ve ever seen one. Newell undroppable. Levitt looked good against St Mirren then Campbell comes in.

Chris Cadden playing right back is the fear.

2/3 of the most rotten midfield in SPFL history continues to start

I think for me his changes just don’t make sense a lot of the times

I have no issue with Campbell starting normally. But this season it seemed like he would play a huge part in his plans, then he dropped to the bench and then he was dropped completely for what 4 games and then starts today?

Same with his treatment of Doyle Hayes and McKirdy

Levitt was really good when he came on in the last game but doesn’t start, Iredale has also looked good but doesn’t start

Moriah well is randomly used aswell

[Hiber-nation]

That's just brutal. Why has Iredale actually been signed? And how the hell does Campbell just walk back into the team after not even making the bench? Glad I didn't bother going up now.

[Heisenberg]

There's no one to replace him. Smith is rank and boruc is as well.

Smith has played one game and didn’t do anything wrong from what I can remember? He’s got to be worth giving a shot to at this stage.

SDG rigidly sticking to a plan and formation too which is something he told us he wouldn’t do. Change it up ffs

[Chorley Hibee]

I completely agree - he is stumbling about week to week and his management of the squad is dire. We can say what we want about upstairs being a circus, but I can’t believe week on week DG’s style and decision making is winning the confidence of the team

Clubs become a complete sellout to what it once was when you consider how much they charge for everything these days and the new hospitality suites and behind the goals etc, which have helped us financially to secure the signings of league one throw aways in England. Fantastic stuff

How did you get the team news before social media ? You are combining different things, you moaned about the way the team was announced on social media because it was not to your liking and too “Grand Theft Auto” this has nothing to do with hospitality or teams being above us in the league.

We had a ****ty scoreboard in the 80s the first or one of the first in Scotland, did it make us a better team and did it help propel us up the league ?

There are plenty things to boot the club about but to moan about the format used on social media to announce the team is a bit much and just a moan for moanings sake.

It took a matter of seconds to play the clip and likewise to read the team line up, I can liive with that.
