ABERDEEN FC’s SPL clash with Hearts on Saturday is in doubt due to weather damage at Tynecastle.

 

Pipes and guttering have been dislodged from the stadium due to snow and ice.

 

The Edinburgh stadium will require repair work before the game against Aberdeen FC can go ahead.

 

Hearts are confident the stadium damage will be fixed in time for the weekend clash.

 

The heavy snow that has gripped the Central Belt could also put the game in doubt.

 

Meanwhile, Aberdeen FC youth coaches Neil Simpson and Neil Cooper are taking the squad until a replacement for recently-axed manager Mark McGhee is found.

Hearts against Aberdeen kicks off at 1500, with the match being a delayed broadcast on BBC ALBA>:D  :hammer:

 

Hearts are confident their clean-up of snow-related damage at Tynecastle will be complete in time for Aberdeen's visit.

 

Snow and ice pulled off gutters from the main stand at Tynecastle and dugouts were damaged.

 

Hearts called in contractors to clear the snow from the roof of the stands in order to permit a further safety check.

 

Club officials met with the local council and the police on Thursday morning and will do so again on Friday to make a final decision.

 

If the game does go ahead, supporters will be asked to travel to the game using public transport as parking in the area will be prohibited.

 

The turnstiles at the Wheatfield Stand will also be closed - supporters should enter by Gorgie Road.

Postmatcher: Work

Prediction: that I wont see any daylight on Saturday.

 

Council and Police doing an inspection this morning - lets keep our fingers crossed as its like a skating rink out there with 2-3 inches of ice on pavements just to the south of Gorgie where I get the bus.
