Queens v Dunfermline

[Spikefaethesouth]

There is a terrible forecast for tomorrow, so the game may be a major doubt.

The bigger issue may be the Dunfermline team and supporters getting here and back. Then there are our own players, the majority of which will be travelling from in and around the Central Belt. Watch this space!!!

Met office has increased the warning to amber for almost the whole of south Scotland, with freezing rain, - which will obviously cause utter chaos. Freezing rain is more common in Canada and America where the rain freezes on contact with all surfaces

In my humble opinion the SFA should cancel all matches today on the basis of an amber warning to prevent people from travelling at all.

I wouldn't normally cut and paste weather warnings, - but we have already taken the decision to close Roucan Loch to the public on health and safety grounds.

Here is the weather warning:

Amber warning for Dumfries, Galloway, Lothian & Borders
Ice
Between 10:00 Sat 15 Dec and 06:00 Sun 16 Dec
Headline
Freezing rain is expected to result in the rapid development of widespread ice, with very dangerous travelling conditions likely.
What to expect
• Injuries from slips and falls and danger to life on icy surfaces are likely
• Black ice may form quickly affecting bus, train and air travel
• Dangerous driving conditions are likely leading to road traffic collisions, road closures and longer journey times
• Pavements and cycle paths likely to become instantly impassable because of the sudden formation of black ice
• Power and other services, such as telephone and mobile phone coverage, likely to be interrupted or cut
What should I do?

Further details
Heavy freezing rain is expected to develop during Saturday. This will result in the rapid formation of widespread ice on roads, pavements, trees and other structures. Freezing rain is rare in the United Kingdom but when it does occur the impacts can be very severe. This is due to the fact that it can form very quickly, it can be difficult to see and is incredibly slippery. Some sleet and snow is possible over the very highest ground and the freezing rain may also be followed by a spell of sleet and snow as the precipitation clears from the west. The freezing rain and sleet and snow will be accompanied by strong southeasterly winds which will pose an additional hazard to travel, in particular over high ground.

sounds like a living hell the way you put it jardi .

It would have to be on match day.. it's going to be ok next week, typical.

[Only Team in The Bible]

Totally agree with Jardi, this game should have been called off yesterday. I'm only in Georgetown and am having doubts about going if it is still on!
