Scooby_Doo Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I walked past the pitch about half an hour ago and it was covered with so much snow I wet my knickers. It was snowing at the time to be fair. I'm sure it will be #sweptawaybygroundstaff in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our support isn't exactly young and I know several fans who have walking sticks that sit in the FB stand. If the parks clear it would make sense for the club to get staff to salt the ground tonight. I'm not sure if that's a council issue but I would hope as a matter of urgency the council are looking at areas around Rugby Park to grit with a match this weekend. If it's off I'll be livid right enough!! Is St Mirren game off? Is that why that buddy was at Rugby Park? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieReject Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I just walked through the grounds, pitch has a light covering of snow but car park isn’t the greatest and neither is the surrounding area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean07 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 As you know, I'm not one for offering up excuses for people not attending, but the scheduling of games is atrocious these days. Remember when we used to know it was home and away on alternate weeks. It bred the habit of going and allowed for budgeting. In the space of a fortnight we have four home games, two on a Wednesday night. Basic cost for an adult £86. Add kids and extras and its outside the budget of a normal family. I expect we will see any upturn damaged by those midweek games. The Dundee game would have been attractive at new year when people were on holiday. Is it so difficult to have a regular pattern. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Going back in time, Wednesday was the usual day for midweek matches, I think. Maybe derives from pre-floodlight days when shops and businesses had an “early closing” day midweek? Tuesday makes more sense - playing on Wednesday doesn’t allow much recovery/ preparation time before Saturdays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
