Seems a sensible decision...might not hurt us in the long run either.

Yes not too unhappy at this either. With our current striker crisis it was always going to be a struggle today and those conditions would have ensured a farce of a game with the risk of more injuries picked up. We can now focus on what is a bigger and more important game on Tuesday evening now.

Well pleased it's off - means we won't be beaten by the same team in the space of 3 days!!

I'm sure it was, but, having driven / splashed 61.2 miles towards Fir Park before Tam Cowan broadcast the news, you'll forgive me if I wonder if an inspection couldn't have taken place sooner? The weather warnings were there. But hey - ho, I'll be back on Tuesday.

Very unfortunate and given the warnings yeah, I think they could have sorted it sooner.

Think if we didn’t have cup tie on Tuesday night the game would have been played. Probably easier to arrange postponed league game than arrange a cup tie before the next round. Wouldn’t like to have played a cuptie on a pitch that would have been severely cut up and heavy underfoot no matter how excellent our groundstaff are
