ST Johnstone groundstaff are pulling out all the stops to ensure it’s game on for Aberdeen’s visit to Perth on Saturday.

 

“It’s disappointing that the Forfar game is off again but we were expecting the news and at least we got an early decision,†said McInnes.

 

“Now all our focus and preparation is geared towards Aberdeen this weekend. Hopefully we’ll get our first game since Boxing Day.

 

“They will have played two games while we have been inactive so we have to make sure our training is geared towards sharpness and having a competitive edge.

 

“Hopefully we will see the players taking out their frustration at being without a game on Aberdeen.

 

“It seems an eternity since we last played so we are looking forward to their visit.

 

“There is a real determination here to get the game on.

 

“Hopefully the weather will be kind to us.

 

Countless tons of snow have to be moved from the McDiarmid surface and surroundings over the next few days.

 

Sustained sub-zero temperatures have taken their toll on the stadium and workmen are tackling burst pipes and frozen areas.

 

Managing director Stewart Duff said: “We are doing our very best to get the Aberdeen game on. We want this match to go ahead.

 

“The forecast suggests daytime temperatures above freezing so hopefully that gives us a helping hand.

 

“There is a lot of work involved in the stands and we are doing everything we can to clear the car park and surrounding areas.

 

“Unfortunately, the Muirton Suite will be out of action if the game does go ahead and we apologise to fans who will be inconvenienced. Pipes burst and flooded the suite.â€

Oh well midweek away fixture in feb it is then, one for the truly hardcore.....

 

Not really, we normally bring pretty big crowds to Dundee for midweek games, and i'm sure everybody will be okay with an extra half hour to get there, I know i'll be there anyway.

Is Perth in Dundee?

 

What is this? A pub quiz or something?
