Hibs v Aberdeen

[dave_min]

Whats the chances of this game going ahead? It's meant to be snowing in beautiful Aberdeen until the 26th and i'm only gonna go to the game if it's on Boxing Day.

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

I expect it to go ahead.

[glasgow sheep]

The forecast on the app on my phone suggests temps of 7-8C on Xmas day so going by that should be on 

[TENEMENTFUNSTER]

BBC has it a bit colder mate!

Yeah just checked.

 

Not going anyway so not too bothered.

Doesn't matter if its perfect sunshine and 30 Deg C just in Easter Road, because if the surrounding roads and pavements are all ice, then Lothian's Cunstabulary will call it off

[Jute]

At the moment the roads are clear round Easter Road but all the pavements are covered in snow.  According to Met office site no more snow due before Sunday but not to be above freezing before Sunday so not likely to thaw. As said above suspect Lothian polis will take one look at freezing temperatures and decide to call it off due to public safety and not due to fact they do not fancy working in the cold.

The thing is because it is so cold, the snow is not melting and turning to ice so its not slippery (unless its a bit warmer near the docks?).

Is it pay at the gate?

I think its all ticket

[boboisared]

Snap!

A cold one?

[King Street Loon]

I hope it's a bit warmer on the day of the game than it is today.

Just nipped doon to Tesco's and it's -9 out here in Westhill.

Be a fucking nighmare sitting watching us play shite in the cold.

Any word on tickets being sent back? Can't see us selling out.

[tsr]

Phoned the club, they don't expect it to be off, there is an Operations meeting on Thursday on ticket sales but are accepting payments over phone and you can collect tickets at ticket office.

After the chaos last season I can't see them having cash gates for us for quite some time

They didn't for game at Tinkcastle 10 days ago when pavements were all packed down snow and icy.

 

Abit OT - Roseburn Stand that day was a disgrace too. Ladies toilets were 2-3" deep with water to wade through, and none of the taps had water. Unsurprisingly I've had no acknowledgement of my email sent to AFC, and the SPL on this subject sent on Monday 13th.

AFC never reply to negative emails. I've only ever had two replies and they've been in response to positive emails.

Why are you e-mailing AFC, when the game was played at the pink bus shelter?

Not doubting you but have e-mailed them negative stuff, about club shop, and received a very detailed response by the club! Found the only e-mails ignored tended to ignore abusive stuff

What you wanting them to do about it though? I mind it being icy as fk in the concourse but glad the game went ahead, well, not sure glad is the right word.

At least some tickets have been sold this time, the problem last year was that all tickets were PATG.

I try to be as coherent and diplomatic at all times, sometimes I fail
