| 62. Author: DNCH Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:08 I`m sure it`s a combination of travel safety, pitch being in a challenging condition and the general weather. Under soil heating works to a point but it`s a piping system competing with the elements. Also the main stand shades the entire touchline so I doubt it gets any sunlight at this time of year to help defrost the pitch. Given the TV exposure for the Hibs game, I reckon the referee will be kindly invited to declare an ice rink playable. Reply |

| 65. Author: DBP Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:30 I’m glad tbh… normally go home after games this time of year in a bit of pain due to hands and feet being completely numb (and that’s using charged up hand warmers etc) Doesn’t make sense really to sit in near freezing temperatures for a couple of hours outside when you think about it Reply |

| 67. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:42 You`d have thought that when we had the old pitch ripped up, we would have swapped the old undersoil system for a newer one before we put the new pitch down. I`m not sure if the covers or undersoil system help, as it seems to be the same bit of the pitch that always seems to be the problem. Probably a question for the next supporters meeting. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 68. Author: adj27 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:43 I’m with DBP - wasn’t looking forward to sitting in the Norrie with a bitingly cold wind blowing into us. Took the dog for a walk earlier and it was absolutely baltic. Andy Reply |
| 69. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:46 adj27, Sat 3 Jan 10:43 I said the same to the wife. We went for a walk, and it was freezing. I`m happy I`m not sitting on a freezing plastic seat. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 70. Author: Angus_W Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 10:52 “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.” Shirt sleeves = Big crowd Baltic conditions = Hardcore Low crowd. Bigger clubs go on Asian/Middle east tours post/pre season. I think it’s worth a try shutting down Jan/Feb & see how that helps teams financially. ‘Hello my name is Jefferson - I’m happy to be here let’s go!’ Reply |

| 76. Author: d3monstrate Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 11:56 Just walked along to get tickets for the cup game, NW stand would be pretty cosy, but the bitter wind would be cutting through everyone in the Main and Norrie... Reply |

Nope. Pitch deemed unplayable in “Small Areas” ….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
