The Dundee United vs Everton game scheduled for tonight has been postponed until tomorrow night because of a water logged pitch.
In the middle of July. Unbelievable.
To be fair though, it has been pashing down all day (and for the last 2 months as well!).
I do still like the idea of summer football but it just shows in Scotland games can be called off at any time of year.
Summer football? FFS

'as part of the SPL credentials for stadiums re seating numbers there should also be variables included for drainage and U/S heating.'
There is already. That's why I've been working at County's ground for the part few weeks installing these systems.
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do when the weather had been this relentless for this long. If you can't remove the water quicker than it is accumulating then there is nothing you can do

Ghod, stop spamming my article
TRFC - you didn't get shafted. United fans had to pay too. Plus all the profits went to charity.

well as it was Dundee Utd's drainage issue why didn't the club cover the costs themselves??

Drainage & undersoil heating can only do so much though.

If its any credit to you trfc, at least you'll have the second best drainage system in the third division after Queen's Park
If you can afford to run it that is

TRFC - unfortunately when Rangers come to town the cost of putting a game on goes through the roof, what with having to have so many stewards/police present.
Anyway, Rangers fans didn't have to pay it if they didn't want to.

They paid for a game and a half and thats what they got to see!!!!! The same as united fans did FFS do you really want to go down the road of people getting shafted by chairmen/football teams??
