Dundee United v Aberdeen

[swaddon]

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.

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

[swaddon]

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.

[TheDonbytheDee]

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.
