Whilst the pitch at Cappielow was deemed to be playable, the decision was made with supporter safety in mind.

We were told to leave early due to the conditions, which we did and was only a couple of minutes away from Cappielow when it was called off. So to say it was made with supporter safety in mind is ridiculous. It should have been called off BEFORE we had to set off.

Maybe they were thinking of post game conditions.

Doesn't help you though as its bloody frustrating.

I would have thought so, think we could be looking at a week on Tuesday/Wednesday at the earliest

They will. Only to be told the game is off when they make it.

Think it may have to be as we also still need to reschedule the Morton home game due on 30th January

[Bishop Hibee]

I'd imagine both clubs will want it played before Christmas.

Absolutely ridiculous, When I got up this morning I was sure the game would be off after much checking of web sites and phoning Morton was told the game was on. Our bus left at 10.45 at which time we knew there was a pitch inspection at 11. Before we left Edinburgh we heard the game was definitely on. Arrived in Port Glasgow where we were booked into a club to be told the game is now off.

Have been told it was a police decision re "fan safety" if that was the case the decision could have been made at 09.00 saving fans the cost and inconvenience of travel, they just have no regard for fans.

FTFY.

Both lanes of the A8 in Greenock flooded at 12.00pm.

The game was postponed at 12.30pm as a result.

[franks]

And no one could have foreseen that?

Good luck getting here Hibees, the M8 is fine between Glasgow and Greenock but as Schosha says the main road at Cappielow is flooded, it's currently still open but you might need to park a fair walk from the ground if that gets any worse and the road closes. The rain's off for now so you might be alright. Trains are still running but some are terminating at Port Glasgow, if they're not going to Cartsdyke at the time of the game you've got a bit of a walk.
