One cow field to another.

 

[Bigbluebear]

Good to see supporters will be allowed in.

 

[AzorIbrox]

What a carry on.

We should've had enough to take care of County yesterday but this circus has done us no favours at all.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

Trigger Doncaster's notice period immediately

 

[steve1873]

Why was that quite sensible decision not made last week?

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

Good to see supporters will be allowed in.

Poor us

 

[Rich Tea Biscuit]

Wonder if they'll sell additional away tickets? Or just those that have already been allocated?

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Good that those with tickets will still get in if its moved.

 

[PaulieGualtieri]

Wonder if they'll sell additional away tickets? Or just those that have already been allocated?

No chance.

 

[Kuznetsov's Curly Hair]

Defo getting moved - game needs to go ahead and they can't take the chance of it being borderline then pisses down Tues pm and in to Weds

 

[Chimo]

It'll pass tomorrow, then no doubt be unplayable again on Wednesday.

 

[Blue As]

They won’t.

 

[Gameboy]

That should have been the situation last week, given Dundee have secured top 6 status, they should have just left it until Dundee could host. No doubt the rest of the league will complain about sporting integrity again.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

A peat bog moved to a ploughed farmer's field.

 

[G74Bear]

Joke of a league. What an absolute Riddy.

 

[RangerInCanada]

A peat bog moved to a ploughed farmer's field.

I am not an agronomy expert (learned that word after last weeks call off!!) but those bare sandy areas - can they not cut them out, buy some turf, and replace them. ?

There clearly are sporting integrity issues of course G.

Why are we the only semi finalist with a midweek match before showcase semi finals ?

And would Hibs & particularly Motherwell have been able to afford larger player squads if they had chosen to ignore their responsibilities with respect to the drainage of their pitches ?

 

[arnietac1]

Be interesting how they work the ticket situation out. We have my main stand tickets for Dens Park.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Doesn’t say what time the pitch inspection is only ‘morning’ .

Why move to a less than reasonable alternate when the likes of Tynecastle could be used .

It’s a drainage problem in particular areas is my understanding

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Do that and the first time someone runs on it the new turf will simply slide away.

 

[paphosranger]

Told you so.

 

[JC85]

Still going to be on Sky regardless of venue?

yes

I am and we sell direct to football and rugby clubs. The problem isn’t the turf it’s shite drainage and a lack of intelligence at Dundee football club that’s the issue.

The turf needs to root and bed in.
If you did as you suggest the turf would just move when played on.

You have a ticket for a seat.
You will get a seat at Perth.
You will get a better view at Perth,the main stand at Dens is crap.

 

[Semper_Paratus]

I'd imagine you will have to speak to a representative at be the ground who will check your dens ticket (maybe at turnstiles) and then issue you with a brand new ticket for the ground to avoid seating issues

Stuart Kettlewell has been quoted somewhere stating that both Dundee and Motherwell were in for the same player in one of the two last windows. Dundee outbid Motherwell and signed him.

 

[Avalonpark]

Last time we played st j it was a disgrace. Who decides what length the grass in cut to, who decides if it gets watered? Who decides if it gets rolled? These things affect a game.

Probably allocated 2 of the stands

Show your ticket and either receive a printed out ticket for seat inside McDiarmid or they might say unallocated seating based on the stand the ticket is to be used for

Same helicopter as before to transport everyone.

We do like helicopters. I think i may hire one.

What about fans who want a Dundee ‘Peh can they still get those

So how will they get the tickets out in time , or will st Johnstone accept Dundee tickets ? What a shambles

Empire biscuits are the order of the day at McDiarmid Park.

The original match tickets will be valid and what will be used.
They will put out exact arrangements in due course.

Your ticket for Dens will be valid for McDiarmid

I think it's the groundsmen. As they do.

I dont think they do specifications for visiting teams.

You get them telt.

I know what your post is. Quite funny.

 

[wsb&warmy]

Utter, utter shambles.

 

[das]

They can't issue the fixtures until it's played as Dundee could go 5th if they beat us by 5 goals. Very unlikely but then again so was the result on Sunday

 

[Thommo2006]

Make it 6 points to the winner save this farce from happening again after the split

 

[Tin man]

Do you sit where you like , ( I know we will do. ) but officially ?

 

[rangeral]

We don't know that yet have posted above what they may do

 

[TheScotty]

Would it count as another postponement if it has to move?

 

[rangeral]

Would it count as another postponement if it has to move?

no as the game is played

Of the weather could postponed again

 

[Bluethruandthru]

Why was that quite sensible decision not made last week?

The sensible decision was to move the game across the road. Anything else is just plain stupid including the lame VAR argument.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Same or increased allocation?

Haha yum yum wish I was going
