Aberdeen Match Moved To Meadowbank - HibeesBounce.com

HibeeJibee · 10-01-07, 14:48

The reserve match on Tuesday has been moved to Meadowbank Stadium, with a 2pm KO (which I hate... why do they put these games on during the day?). This is a pretty unusual measure, presumably the club does not want to damage the ER pitch any more (although this seems odd with only 1 home game between now and March) nor postpone the game and end up having a backlog in the spring.

The pitch was looking absolutely knackered last week. Not much that could have been done about it with the amount of rain we've had and three games on it in 10 days imo. There's also the potential for a replay in the cup and we'll be at home if we get through.

Give the pitch as much of a rest as you can at the moment.

They would be lost even in Meadowbank!! I don't really mind the match being moved to Meadowbank - the fact it's close to ER means little inconvenience to fans, and it will only cost £25 to hire the stadium for the afternoon, plus any stewarding required (although there could well be athlete's using the track for training at the same time!!). What I do mind is putting the match on at 2pm - restricting it to OAPs, football staff, the unemployed and kids skipping school. I can't make it because I've got lectures. I prefer the 7pm KOs much more.
