As well as our game, Motherwell vs ICT is also off today. Adds yet another tie to the fixture backlog at Fir Park.

OK, its bad luck that the 2 teams sharing Fir Park have ended up with some of the worst fixture backlogs, and the tragic circumstances behind some of Motherwell's postponed games are mercifully rare, but we are now seeing the logistical problems which could arise from ground sharing.

Rescheduling all these ties must be turning into a complete nightmare, and the Fir Park pitch must be a complete mess.

If Hamilton get promoted this year Im pretty sure NDP doesn't meet SPL standards. Is more ground sharing (no doubt at Fir Park again) the answer or is it time either to relax the rules on ground capacity etc, or tighten them back up and demand the club has a ground which meets SPL standards as a pre-requisite for promotion?
