Topic: Pitch Inspection. Saturday 9:30am
41. Author: halbe Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 08:41 The supporters bus being cancelled is on their Facebook page as well now along with all the details of the amber weather warning and advice to avoid unnecessary travel. Pitch inspection might not matter... Reply
42. Author: buffy Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 08:46 It’s the Black Isle Supporters Club bus that’s been cancelled. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply

45. Author: Lesliepartoo Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:04 Or is that a safety measure as they dont have to get down where as the players bus will need to get down if its on Cmon ye pars Reply
46. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:04 If the pitch is playable, game should be on. Not our fault a full time club couldn’t arrange to get down the day before to ensure its on. Reply

48. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:30 Reading the comments on Windy Wilson weather the roads sound drivable with care. Quite a few comments from folk travelling to the Glasgow derby. Ground is solid in my garden so might depend on how effective the covers are? Reply

53. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:43 Westies squint kicks, Sat 3 Jan 09:36 Covers as much use as an inflatable dartboard. I have to agree. What’s the point? It’s not dipped much below freezing. It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply
54. Author: Angus_W Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:54 Club can’t win either way spend a fortune on under soil heating & the game still isn’t guaranteed. For the sake of a couple of games it’s not worth the expense. A winter shutdown + more games at the start/end of summer would be my choice. Watching football in shirts sleeves or freezing conditions - no brainer. ‘Hello my name is Jefferson - I’m happy to be here let’s go!’ Reply

What’s the point? It’s not dipped much below freezing. Seems to be a bit of confusion here. Is the pitch frozen and was it even checked? Going by Ross County’s page it was more to do with safety issues travelling. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply
56. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:54 Don`t we have any undersoil heating at all now? Reply

Watching football in shirts sleeves or freezing conditions - no brainer. Yeah but as we know, cold winter weather can go well into March. Then we have tournaments like the World Cup or the Euros every two years so players that are involved get no rest or pre season training. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply

Going by Ross County’s page it was more to do with safety issues travelling. Picture of ref on pitch on our post, not sure if today mind you. County trying to claim it was “adverse weather conditions” probably because they didn’t travel last night and if game had gone ahead to try use that as next reason. Reply

60. Author: dd23 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 09:59 It was the under soil heating that killed our pitch last year (or the season before). No wonder it’s not getting used if that’s the risk and it doesn’t guarantee to get games on. Reply
