It's shite, it shouldn't be a thing.

You accept a kick off time can move to lunchtime etc but 8pm is pish, a lot of shift workers now maybe can't make it.

Crap for us who don't live in Dundee.   I usually drive to the games but sometimes its nice to take the train up and maybe get a drink and something to eat before in the town.  Too late to get a train home with the 8PM KO.

 

i can’t make this game.

Looking at photos of the pitch available online I would suggest we might have a serious problem on our hands that might attract attention in Glasgow.
Especially if the Hearts game gets called off too.

I'd think our CEO maybe needs to get some specialist help in.

Goodwin not sounding too optimistic on Saturday’s game being on.

Sounds resigned to losing Ferry this window too

 
Will Ferry has been fantastic for us but when I've seen him throwing his arms up at team mates I'm thinking it's time up Will. Not entirely your fault but when that's your reaction it's time to move on.
Thanks and best wishes.

Hearts game will be off.

The pitch is awful and the club has scrimped on pitch protection.

Four of our next five are supposed to be at Tannadice. I have a feeling the club is about to be made looking very foolish.

I would expect the St Mirren game to be rescheduled for February also.

I wonder why our old groundsmen left…

The ones who had our pitch in superb condition. The ones who are now at dens…

Guys doing it now, I assume, are cheaper.

Ogrens sole aim is recouping losses. The losses he allowed a conman to run up. The club will stagnate / suffer until the losses are at a reasonable enough level for him to write off and sell his shares.

 
He's not gonna get his millions back by hiring a cheaper groundsman, there has to be more to it than just skimping on cost surely?

The sun'll come out tomorrow.
Actually it's come out today.
Bit of a watery sun right enough but at least it's stopped raining after a week's deluge.
The 8 o'clock kick off is in our favour, it gives us another 5 hours of drying time.
Game on for me, be prepared.

Btw did you see Spartans' result last night?

That's a statement win from Spartans.  Thumping their closest rivals for the Lg 2 title is impressive, but EK have been on the slide for a few weeks.  Spartans have put together a strong team at that level, but they shouldn't really give us a challenge.

Put it this way, if we are not in the next round of the cup then Jim won't be at Tannadice either.  I don't think there is a realistic chance of that.

I wonder if we're going to ask for an inspection tomorrow or maybe early Saturday morning.
My Jambo pal messaged me this morning asking what's going on.
