Aye correct decision Robert, just 24 hours too late with the timing. If games like this are in any doubt they have to be called off with enough notice, its...
Michael - I'll have a go at addressing your concerns. When the pitch was checked at 7.30am this morning it was perfectly playable - bowling green surface in...
Aye Mike. It was a real bummer. I checked the club website and with friends on the phone. All the information was contrary to my gut feelings. The game was...
My website report from this morning did not say the game was not in any doubt. And as soon as it was announced that it was postponed I had it on the website at...
Thanks Alan,  All good and well, but the fact that very heavy rain was (both) forecast and occured! I would have thought the weather forecast would also...

Michael I'd trust Proph to get it right. Calling a ref in when it it obvious that the pitch is playable at a given time would not be acceptable. As it stood it...
I agree with you Michael - I really do. The pitch coped well yesterday with arguably worse conditions over a longer period of time and rest assured the Club...
Has there been a game called off at SHS because of rain making the pitch unplayable before? ... From: Alan Findlay To: sonsteam@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
Michael, while agreeing about the distance folk travelled (hell, Edinburgh ain't next door so tell me about it) just occasionally in life, shit happens. If a...
Rab I dont think we had a game called of for waterlogged pitch until they built the houses and we have had a few since. Maybe a builder or somebody can explain...
Here's the whole list of postponed games at SHS. Afraid I can't help with the reasons. 29/12/2001 Saturday Brechin City Division 3 22/02/2003 Saturday Brechin...
I agree that if we were away to peterhead and the game was postponed at this late time there would be uproar from sons fans. Last night with common sense with...
Agree in principle, but wait til the box tickers get there hands on the suggestion. 1) Did they travel for the postponed game? 2) What about Dumbarton fans who...
Here are the games which went ahead in the west/central Scotland area Falkirk Motherwell Rangers St Mirren Airdrie Clyde Stenny Stirling Albion Rovers Queens...
I'd actually suggest the complete opposite of the 'cancel it on Wednesday in case a rain drop falls' point of view. If the ref had waited an hour (what...

I'm not taking sides in this debate and there have been good points made in support of both points of view, but one factor that perhaps may be worth...
strathclyde stadium is not in an ideal set up weather wise it has no protection from the elements with only one stand. the wind and rain comes off the clyde...
Does your list include abandoned games Graeme? I remember a game about 2-3 years ago that was abandoned in atrocious aquaplaning conditions that aroused some...
Blimey Two exiled Helensburghians posting on sonsteam within a week! I don't feel quite so alone somehow. ... From: Heron Header To: sonsteam@yahoogroups.com ...
Good luck finding a legal definition of the word 'sense'. I think it's sensible to support Dumbarton. Most of my friends think it's a daft idea, and makes no...
