If it's on, the Dons will travel to the home of the mouse-sized lice to give the PJMs a good spanking. It takes place on Wednesday 11th February, kicking off at 1945 hours.

I fancy us to benefit from our recent break and win 2-0.

If Those Who Want To BE Us defend like they did in the final throes of their hilarious Easter Road debacle in midweek, we could be in luck. It’s their cup final, after all.

If Those Who Want To BE Us defend LIKE Us, we'll still be fkn 2-0 doon afore the Bovril is set on a low simmer.

From what the United fan in work is saying they are expecting they will get today’s game played but with weather forecast not much chance of our game on Wednesday being on.

Their game today just called off.

If forecast to be believed, the Wednesday night game must be a doubt.

 

What's our record for most postponed games in a row?

 

Must have been worse, back when our winters were really cold.

It’s time football became a summer sport in Scotland.

Don't know the number but we didn't play for 6 weeks in the winter of '63.

Winter of 2010 or '11 must have been up there,described at the time as worst winter for a century

In the 1981-82 season, there was no proper fitba between the middle of December and the end of January.

AFC Heritage says we played Hearts in a friendly during that time, as well as Norwich away and Benidorm away in friendlies.

Fergie must have fancied a break in the sun that week.

I've just looked at that season on AFC Heritage.

In April 1964, we played seven games, all but one of which were away from home. And we lost the home game (0-2 to Clyde).

Also, the following season, we played Dundee on New Year's Day, then faced St Johnstone the following day. And today's footballers complain they have no rest between games.

I can't remember much games being off around then and not much disruption overall due to the snow and there was plenty of it and it hung around a long time.

December 2010, only three games played, all away.

January 2011 looked normal and then we had 6 home games during February, with no away days.

 That era though was the bleakest I remember being as a Dons fan for 50ish years.The Raith Rovers cup game being the pinnacle.We spent Xmas in a chalet up in Aviemore. - 20oC outside,heating on full blast but couldnt get the place warmer than 17oC

Any word on whether this is going to be on or not?

Met office have issued a yellow warning for heavy and persistent rain for Tayside for next 39 hours so going to take a wild guess game might be in doubt. 

Three P's on the bounce will without a doubt be our best run of results this season, oh happy days 😆

Mibbes aye, mibbes naw.

My money is on a 7:30 pm call off tomorrow.

Leven says he's had the squad play a match against each other.

I bet they both lost.

"This remains a fluid situation"

^^ If that was deliberate then maybe they're smarter than we think 🙂

Surley after the overnight rain they’ll be able to make a decision. Of course they’ll have an official ready and in the City and definitely won’t have to get someone to drive from Dumfries to make the call.

They are calling it off 5 minutes after your train leaves Haymarket. Just accept it. 

Still haven’t bought that Grandad ticket offer. I’ll be waiting until 2pm when I meet birthday boy in Platform 5 🤣

Yeah I will get my ticket for train until last minute. Will be stunned if the game is on.

It's dry in Aberdeen this this morning. First trip to work in weeks with no rain coming down.

Hopefully the same in Dundee and we get this game out of the way tonight.

If it does get the green light to go ahead, then surely after our pathetic showing at Killie then Leven has them well up for this, as a win tonight will put a much needed bit of daylight between ourselves and the Jutes.

Still canna see us ever keeping a clean sheet so If it does go ahead I am going with my heart and saying 1-2 the Dons (Nisbet brace)
