    If there's a danger to travelling COunty fans (which there could well be) they'd be within their rights to request a postponement, no?

    All will be well by Wednesday morning.
    Tuesday's SPFL game could be off though.

    Did something not happen at this time last year with ross county or ict that a supporters bus was in an accident or something and it held up the team bus. The club weren't happy they were expected to travel with fans in the first place

    Ross County- They would expect us to go up there despite our travel problems

    They would expect us to go up there, despite our current travel problems. If their team can turn up so can they!!

    Queensferry Crossing hoping to reopen later today with weather forecast. Hoping and actually reopening are two different things, and I’m glad I’m not travelling to game from that side of country.

    Would they? Would they glibly ignore police advice etc (if it is indeed forthcoming, hopefully it won't be) and "expect" hundreds of Hibs fans to schlep up the A9 in dubious conditions?

    I doubt it somehow. It's somewhat "arrogant Jambo" to think that a game against a team from Dingwall shouldn't be cancelled cos Hibs fans from much, much closer to ER can make it to the game no bother. Whatever advice comes from the relevant authorities should be followed. Fan safety is paramount, whether for 5, 50, 500 or 50,000 fans.

    Midweek games should be postponed. What is the point in supporters traveling to and from games when there is a risk of very poor weather conditions. Absolutely mental to put us through that.

    No one is forced to travel common sense should prevail.

    Yes that's the rules, but what is more of a concern to me, is that the we have had a winter shut down & immediately followed it with weekend & mid week games crammed in as soon as the clubs are back. Explain the logic of that please, nonsense typical Scottish football.

    I agree with you but I reckon if people are being advised not to travel then sport should not be taking place.

    The weather forecast for Wednesday in Dingwall is some sun and a moderate breeze astonishingly the same as for Edinburgh. Of course there may be 30 foot snowdrifts on the A9 to contend with.

    Yes, but my group all have season tickets so we lose financially?.

    Surely that’s not reasonable.

    Football fans don’t have a lot of common sense when making decisions about travelling to games in poor weather, sometimes it needs taken out of our hands. Will be no problems on Wednesday though - can’t see it being that bad.

    Cancelling a game for 50 or so away fans would be a bit much.

    If its not safe its not safe, never mind if its 50 or thousands. Fair play to the 50 or so that do travel down to support their team.

    Nah, cancelling a match because fifty fans aren't able to attend is a step too far.

    Give them a refund on their tickets and £100 compensation and just play the game.

    If travelling/road conditions are deemed too dangerous by people rather more qualified than the amateur Michael Fish appreciation society we seem to have a few members of, then a postponement is the right call.
