The ghost of Jim Morton Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 MFR the highland local radio have announced that an inspection took place this evening at 8-30pm and the game goes ahead as planned......although overnight conditions may change this. Were you listening to Moray Firth Radio just in case or did someone let you know?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

templeofsaints Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Just started blootering down in Edinburgh. Had a look at the traffic cams and sorry, but it's not worth it for me. So if we lose you can just blame my absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJE Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Anyone any idea what the story is with the trains? I see a county fan has posted on P&B saying that the line is closed between Aviemore and Inverness. The London-Inverness Sleeper is currently stopped at Aviemore as the line is blocked.. Also just to advise you all that the A9 is tricky between Aviemore and Inverness, with them saying it's taking about twice as long to drive that section with hard compacted snow on the road. The Drumochter pass is also a bit dodgy.. So maybe best heading off a bit earlier and taking your time.... Hope you all have a safe journey, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDuncM Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 It is amazing that this game, previously postponed because of inclement weather, has survived the Arctic (!) conditions experienced in the rest of the UK. It must be an omen of some sort. C'Mon the Blues and I mean Saints as well as The Owls in the Steel City Derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfulsaint Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Aberdeen match declared off at 09.15 due to road conditions and not the state of pitch. Ross County v Saints still on. Drive safely and C'mon Da Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
