ian1964 10,780 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 DUNDEE UNITED'S clash with Rangers is in jeopardy again after Tannadice was battered by fresh blizzards. United staff are working around the clock to get tomorrow night's SPL game on. And they may even ask fans to help clear snow from the stadium as they bid to avoid becoming the 68th game to be called off in Scotland so far this season. Celtic are also pulling out all the stops as they try to clear Parkhead for action against Kilmarnock tomorrow night after snowfalls in Glasgow . United have not played since November 20 and Rangers have played only one domestic match in the last month and fear an SPL fixture pile-up on top of their Europa League commitments. The game had already been postponed from November 28 as a result of the Arctic blasts that have hit Scotland recently - and could be called off again today. United chairman Stephen Thompson said: "We certainly want the game on because we haven't played for a month but we've just had four inches of snow. "We would appreciate help from the local council and may even ask for assistance from fans. "We'll know better in the morning. We'd like to think a decision on the game will be taken by Monday. "However, the forecast is for the very cold weather to continue." Celtic have also played just once in the last month, a 2-2 draw with Inverness Caley Thistle at home. A spokesman said: "At the moment, we stress the game goes ahead. But we will continue to monitor the situation very closely with the relevant authorities." Hamilton will know today if their game against at New Douglas Park on Wednesday has any chance of going ahead. Staff are working around the clock to repair a mains water pipe that burst on Saturday morning next to the club's electricity system. It forced the postponement of Hamilton's televised clash against the Hoops . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 And they want to bring in a winter break from January, madness ........... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 We can't predict the weather and January is usually the worst for postponements, however it makes total sense to have a break then. The no-brainer point is that the conditions will almost always be better in June than January, no matter the weather. It's better to have the break later like January than earlier like December as again we can't predict the weather. If we have a mild December and a terrible January, a winter break before Christmas would be futile. However, reverse this and it means an fixture free, playable January allows us to play all postponed games from December in the following month. The madness is in not having a winter break. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
