glenrothes saintee Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Is anyone planning on getting the train from the north? The Montrose faithful are taking the train for a change. Don't think you can get a train direct to Cowdenbeath as its only on the Fife Circle line. You will have to get a bus from Kirkcaldy or a Fife Circle line train. If its the latter, make sure you get one going in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the scotrail website, which is a nightmare to navigate, we can get a train to Inverkeithing and then change for Cowdenbeath. Or at least that's what we're hoping...

Saint GB Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 May have to arrange other plans for Saturday! Can't see the game going ahead!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenrothes saintee Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 They have blankets i'm sure or could borrow ours surely? I sent an email to Saints on Tuesday suggesting that, hopefully they will have contacted Cowdenbeath and offered them the use of the blankets. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryangordon86 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Think it could be off, it's freezing already and that doesn't look like improving until Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 3 nights of sub zero temperatures & not rising much above during the day so doubt if game will be on. If the pitch is covered then may be a chance of it going on. Hopefully if it is in doubt they will give us plenty warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 From the Cowdenbeath website: MATCH PREVIEW – ST JOHNSTONE This Saturday see’s us take a break from the Irn Bru First Division as we welcome Steve Lomas and his St Johnstone side to Central Park for our William Hill Scottish Cup Fourth Round tie. To reach this stage we beat Vale of Leithen 8-1 at Central Park but the Perth Saints currently sixth in the Clydesdale Bank SPL will be a much sterner challenge for Colin Cameron’s side. In the event of the game being postponed on Saturday due to the weather the match will take place on Tuesday 4th December with a 7.45 p.m. kick off and if a replay is required it will take place at McDiarmid Park on Tuesday 11th December also with a 7.45 p.m. kick off.

Drew Blue Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 According to the scotrail website, which is a nightmare to navigate, we can get a train to Inverkeithing and then change for Cowdenbeath. Or at least that's what we're hoping... I am going, possibly by train from Montrose. 10:32 train, (East Coast London bound), change at Inverkeithing, in Cowdenbeath around 12:30 so plenty time for a pint or two.

Strawman Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I m still hopeful this will be on, was in Kelty at half nine this morn working, temp on car was showing plus 2 and sun coming out. The pitch would be hard I would think but hopefully playable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Madrid Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Looking at the 5 day forecast I cannot see this game being played tomorrow or Tuesday. The locals on the facebook game event page do not sound too hopefull at present. Edited November 30, 2012 by Real Madrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchy Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Saints haven given Cowdenbeath a loan of our frost covers. Cowdenbeath are apparently optimistic that it will go ahead. ryangordon86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 From the Daily Record - "Captain Dave Mackay is suspended following his straight red card against Hibs, while manager Steve Lomas will watch from the stands after being handed an eight-match touchline ban." and also - "WITH the winter weather beginning to bite, the Perthshire Saints' clash with the Blue Brazil will be subject to an 11am pitch inspection tomorrow. The groundsmen at Cowdenbeath will be taking their own measures to make sure the match goes ahead and their counterparts at McDiarmid Park have also given them additional pitch covers. However, a late call will be made - in time for Saints fans to avoid a wasted journey. Dumbarton's home game against Hamilton has already been called off today - with further ties expected to fall foul of the weather." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Colin Cameron might have been thinking we were playing in green the other night.... "Cowdenbeath player-manager Colin Cameron: "I watched St Johnstone winning against Hibs in midweek and I know that they can actually play better than they did in that game...." Either that or the BBC's website is its usual high quality reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
