SaintJet Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Been a wee while since I started a thread so with new hope I thought I'd get discussion about our game with 'Well underway. Another decent performance in Aberdeen has given some hope that we might have made a significant turn and if we can get that first win we really would have something positive to hang on to. Desperatley need that win and it's going to be a tricky match against Motherwell who have been in good form since Kettlewell has been in charge. Keep an eye on the weather for this one - updates from local patrons appreciated over the next couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I'd love to see May and Clark reunite their successful partnership if both are looking fit and sharp. Not convinced Clark is going to start just yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced Clark is going to start just yet though. They did look good last season where we had a spell of actually looking dangerous up front. We just need to ensure we give them some decent service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 I'd be shocked if this went ahead. Not only because of the weather affecting the pitch, but also the fact that it'd be dangerous to travel from other parts of the country. We have supporters that travel in from all over the place, Motherwell will as well. It might be a bit early to say this on Thursday evening, but looking outside as it is now, and checking the forecasts, including the red warning which basically says, don't travel unless absolutely necessary, I feel the only responsible thing to do would be to postpone it. And do it early so people don't make unnecessary plans. However, if it does go ahead, the weather might have a say in it somehow. Hoping for improvement with players like Clark coming back. And yes, I wouldn't be shocked if Theo finally got a goal in Perth. We need to start winning and get some momentum going. A narrow victory will do fine, 2-1 or something similar.

Cagey Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 There was plenty warning that Babet was coming . I would have thought they would have put covers down but doubt it. I think the yellow and Amber warning are only hitting the edge of Perth and the rain today was not torrential. With it also being windy it might help to dry out the pitch. The weather south of Perth hasn't been too bad so I don't think it will effect the crowd and trains etc will be running again by Saturday.

SaintJet Posted October 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Weather and conditions throughout St.Andrews and Dundee area pretty atrocious. If Dundee were home tomorrow I doubt they would be playing tomorrow. What's the latest through in Perth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courier has reported this morning that the pitch is holding up well, though as @Gekko says above it's maybe more likely the travel situation that could kill the game. If it was being played today I'd say no chance, but as it's tomorrow I'd think there's still a reasonable possibility of it being on?   SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a met office yellow warning til mid day tomorrow. Not so confident now as it is still gusty and persistent rain. Wild at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Now an Amber warning of rain from midnight to 23.59 on Saturday. It changes every hour. They must have got their computers from an American company, like NHS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekko Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) Now off! Motherwell Game Postponed | St Johnstone Football Club (perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk) Storm Babet: SPFL postpones games in Tayside and Angus (thecourier.co.uk) Correct decision IMO. Aberdeen v Dundee off as well. Edited October 20, 2023 by Gekko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenrothes saintee Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Couldn’t have been long after their initial update saying game was still on. It is, however, the correct decision to postpone, not worth folk risking their lives trying to get to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who made the decision. Does it have to be SPFL , referees inspection or do Saints just consult with opponents. Right decision but we might think differently tomorrow at 3pm.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
