Any word on a pitch inspection?

[New York Bear]

It's the usual panic and overreaction that society is blighted with these days.

Yesterday it was 'the game should be cancelled'. Today it's "my god its biblical floods, game in severe danger'..

I think people panic and get anxious when they see their own shadow

There is plenty of visual evidence, including on this page, that the threat of postponement is a legit concern - even if unlikely. For example, the foot of standing water outside the main stand - albeit on the opposite side of the street. Hardly a panic over nothing.

I know, it was just a heads up, worried about our game getting one.

Yeah, its flooded all over the place.

If people are lucky enough to reach the stadium on time, they're then looking at navigating the floods surrounding each side of the stadium... Its not over nothing. Far from it.

I’m in early. Park looks like a bowling green! Not a single worry about the surface

I hear there are problems on the trains as well e.g. from Edinburgh.

Ah, winter is upon us, we can now look forward to our weekly risk of postponement thread again.

 

[Captain Steve Rogers]

Not even close to being as bad as the night we played Osasuna in the 80's.

Close thread.

I can imagine the ref inspecting the pitch and saying to both managers:

"The pitch was worse that time in 1985. Play the game"

Its more getting there thats the problem mate!

 

[G-Hallbear]

Pitch is pristine, in my seat already and it’s absolutely fine.

Aye it was a bit wild on the roads from Cumbernauld to be fair.

Bit of standing water on the motorway but nothing busses and cars won’t be able to handle.

 

[govanite]

I have bees saying for ages drains are not being maintained .Places would have flooded but it would slowley drain away some places are not draining away in fact quite a lot are not. Get ready for collapsed drains next.

Are there many in yet ?

 

[choppy72]

No

 

[TonySoprano]

Hopefully flooding eases for after the game

 

[Papa_bear]

No

Heartbreaking. They simply must delay kick off no? @Greg Marshall

 

[Bro989]

Pitch looks fantastic

 

[Clicker]

Should be like water aff a dug’s back

Bit of a damp squid.

 

[gordon_blue]

Roundabout at the end of the road was under water and Aldi carpark in Milngavie was flooding too.

 

[Boab4]

I got told once by a barmaid in the old Stadium bar that it’s not rain it’s Govan sunshine

She's not wrong. The pitch looks wonderful.

Never in doubt.

There wasn't a drop of water outside the main stand when you posted this

 

[Ross_]

No issues with the pitch as you can see

Starting to fill up now

 

[MrKatanga]

It has to he delayed ffs

 

[Inspector Blake]

Ah, winter is upon us, we can now look forward to our weekly risk of postponement thread again.

Scotland is the only country which comes to a standstill after 1 inch of rain or 3cm of snow.

Nurse! Get this man sectioned. He reckons he's got talking bees!

 

[Dalgety Bear]

A lot of busses including us are just coming off the Kingston Bridge. Due to all the circumstances with weather / cop I think the game should be delayed for 15 mins.

Announcement saying 7.45 ko prompt

If that’s the case whoever makes these decisions has no regard whatsoever for our supporters. Most of them will now miss the minutes silence. An utter disgrace

How are they going to manage the queues outside re COVID / social distancing?

It’s either a big deal or it’s not.

I think it was to encourage those outside to get to their seats.

But not helpful to those stuck in traffic.

My mate is currently in a massive queue behind the Copland. Said it’s chaos after battling for two hours to get there , police snd stewards are struggling

 

[Gonzo86]

Too late for that pitch inspection?!
