Really keeping my fingers crossed that the game is on, hate rescheduling games as they are normally on a Tuesday night when I can’t go

Makes sense, at least they are giving plenty time

Can`t see it going ahead I`m afraid, the main stand side probably frozen.

Club is happy with the pitch at present, and to be no colder overnight tonight than it has been all week. County just have no interest in this game going ahead.

The grass here in the west is rather frozen right now and I doubt that it would take a stud so hopefully the covers do their job.

Will most likely come down to travelling conditions for players and staff who live in Dingwall.
I would say fans but we already know the SPFL don’t give a damn about them.

Weather forecast isn’t for heavy snow tomorrow in Dingwall so here’s hoping.

RC are riddled with a sickness bug, and have recalled a couple youths from loans with local Highland League clubs.
I half expected them to ask for a postponement earlier in the week tbh. The weather may be an easy excuse to have the match called off, and allow the team to recover

It won`t be Ross County`s call though, will it?

No, of course not. What I meant was,I`m not sure what the repercussions of asking for a match to be postponed due to sickness is. Is there a fine, or loss of points? Presumably not, I`d imagine there would be no comeback for County, but perhaps they`ve taken a bit of a gamble on the long-term weather, rather than having to ask for the match to be cancelled anyway.

It might be off but more likely for travel reasons than pitch reasons

Surely the same protocol that let fans into the QOS game then cled it off will prevail.
It`s not the roads that matter its the pitch. Hope it`s on and we pump them.
