Game in doubt?

[AugustaHibs]

What are the chances the game on Sunday is Called off? High winds and torrential rain incoming

[Since452]

I'd be surprised if it was on tbh

[LaMotta]

I'll be absolutely amazed if its called off.

[Golden Bear]

Unless the old Health & Safety concerns come into play then the game will be on.

[hughio]

There may be shelter just now but with 80mph winds forecast there’s no guarantee it'll still be there come Sunday afternoon.

I think since452 will end up in a state of surprise on Sunday

[Oscar T Grouch]

The Indodrill has a problem with drainage does it not? If there is torrential rain there could be an issue. I hope they get the pitch inspection done early doors.

Kinda happy i never changed my ticket to the uncovered terracing now :)

Do they do pitch inspections on artificial turf?

I'll be thunderstruck either way.

Looks like the wind is now certain to be absolutely horrendous on Sunday. I'd imagine a risk from flying debris (roof tiles etc) could see it postponed.

Indeed. Not uncommon to be dodging the old flying roof tiles when a stiff breeze gets up in Central Scotland.

Can't post a photo from my phone but the sun is splitting the trees like a summers day in Alloa at the moment. Literally not even a breeze.😎

The wind is forecast at 50mph gusts so even if its on It'll be a game spoiler

[StevesFamau5]

Saying gusts of 65 possibly up to 80. I have my reservations it may be called off.

Hopefully they make a decision as early as possible before people have started travelling.

If there is a doubt any qualified referee can deem the conditions unplayable. So in theory they could have a local ref there first thing rather than waiting on the match officials to arrive.

[number9dream]

Could be a test for the temporary scaffolding they use for TV guys.

Don’t think they will be using a piper on the Murrayfield roof on Saturday...

[Waxy]

Cant play football its too windy and showery lol.

[Seveno]

There is likely to be official advice not to travel unless it is an emergency. That would be a significant factor is deciding to postpone the match.

Its only a yellow warning

[Hermit Crab]

Game should be on, A bit of wind and rain, the magic of the cup. BSC will absolutely want that game played as a midweek match means their players will beed time off work etc. Not to mention the BBC might not be able to show a rescheduled match.

Its only a yellow warning

, lowest warning there is

Yellow Warning: Yellow warnings can be issued for a range of weather situations. Many are issued when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places. Many people may be able to continue with their daily routine, but there will be some that will be directly impacted and so it is important to assess if you could be affected. Other yellow warnings are issued when the weather could bring much more severe impacts to the majority of people but the certainty of those impacts occurring is much lower. It is important to read the content of yellow warnings to determine which weather situation is being covered by the yellow warning.

Thats improved from a few days ago, seems like its only gong to be windy with a 50% chance of rain.

[Since452]

Bit of a nightmare if it is postponed. Especially for BSC as these lads will have regular jobs. Imagine having to put a holiday form in because you're playing Hibs on a Tuesday night
