Lack of care
Agree lack of care and extenuating circumstances. All of Scotland have had above average rainfall since October (and before) but the West Coast and Isles only a very little above average, the Central Belt more but still not enormously above average. The East Coast, however, have had markedly more rain than normal a very significant increase more than other areas of Scotland due to the rain coming from the East which is not unheard of but unusual compared to the prevailing direction of our weather in these parts usually from the West. AND Dundee and Angus have received significantly more rain in proportion and against historical records than even the much harder hit than normal East Coast. Now some will say Arbroath will manage to have its game on today but comparisons between their sand based pitch and our, albeit under performing pitch, doesnt hold water (unlike Dens). To repeat lack of care definitely but other circumstances have contributed.
