Saw some video footage of the pitch on Sky sports news a few hours ago & it didn't look good at all. It was still totally/completely covered in snow & ice. As JB says, the roads around here aren't too bad, but to be perfectly honest, it wouldn't surprise me one little bit if this game is called off following the inspection tomorrow. Guess we'll have to wait & see...

I suspected as much Zappa. However, it is in Hamiltons best interest to get that game on with it being a TV game the revenue they make will boost their income. Usually rearranged games are much more poorly attended than what the original intended one was going to be.

 

To be honest, the only thing stopping that game from going ahead is the pitch. So, lets see what kind of efforts are made to clear it.

Looking good Bears.

 

Latest word [not confirmed] is 'polis have no real concerns'.

 

Awaiting final decision.

Sounds promising Elderslie, thanks for the update.

 

Agree with John above about it being better for accies to play it this weekend.

Even if it passes this inspection there will be another referee inspection on Sunday first thing...

Apparently, Hamilton have 'no concerns' on the pitch. Snow being cleared from the pitch right now.

Yeah, as long as the police approve the environs this morning, the pitch inspection should be a formality on Sunday.
