SCOTTISH CUP QOS v St.Johnstone

Palmerston Pitch is still covered in snow which is a concern

No one available at Palmy for comment at the moment but information I have is that snow will be cleared for the match - I would imagine the snow will act as a natural blanket against the frost which is the main danger to artificial pitches - will try and get some up to date information later.

[quote="JRSLEFTPEG"]Anyone else recall 24 Jan 1976 ?

Home to St. Johnstone in 3rd Round on a crisp, cold sunny day.

They were struggling big-time at the foot of the Premier League and we were hitting form after a disastrous start to our First Division campaign. The signing of Peter Dickson in November 1975 provided the catalyst for what was a decent squad to start performing to their potential.

We took a 2 goal lead within about 15/20 mins - both scored by Jocky Dempster - and looked comfortable.

I can't quite remember if we went 3 up or if they pegged us back 2nd half to 2-2 but it turned out to be a close, nervy finish.

We played in all white that day and I imagine the team would have been Ball, Miller, McChesney, McLaren, Clark and Boyd; Dempster, Dickson P., Reid, O'Hara and Dickson G. Subs possibly Donald and Thorburn.

The crowd was between 3,000 an

Admin, happy to help tonight to move snow from the pitch if there are insufficient numbers of people at Palmy. The same goes for the terracing.

Can't do tomorrow night though.

Have been assured by Palmy that the snow has been cleared from the pitch

Was James Fowler not just on the radio saying there was a good 2 feet lying and that the game was in serious doubt and that we might as well concede the tie anyway ? !

Enough of the negativity guys, I am driving up from Englandshire for my first visit in 8 yrs!
Really looking forward to it and don't want to hear any more talk of snow!

Tractor clearing snow off the pitch today. Let's hope that's enough to get it on.

fear not Coastie Murray - bordering on tropical here. It's not called the Costa del Sol(way) for nothing. Anyway it's always bizarrely warm in the pub!!

No problem !

Are they certain that it is ok to clear the snow like that without damaging the pitch?
