Pitch was waterlogged and the weather this week will not dry it out. See the Pienbovril messages about the Stirling games that have been postponed. Rangers B team playing there on Thursday night so if it goes ahead it will be a quagmire. Suggest it will be postponed.

The bar inside the ground is massive and it's always good to support the coffers of the teams in our division.
As per last match probably only home gate will be open.
Although I'm expecting over 100 Rovers fans.

The Rangers B game at Dumbarton tonight is off due to a waterlogged pitch!

The dreadful pitches we are forced to play on. Dumbarton and Stirling are like cow-fields, or the Somme on a bad day in November 1916. How ironic...

Looking at the forecast in Dumbarton I can't see how this is going to go ahead on Saturday.
If the parks not been safe enough on Tuesday night or tonight, and given it looks like a tattie field, it would be worrying if it magically was alright on Saturday.

As Bette Davis said in the film 'Beyond the Forest'[1949], "What a dump".

That’s the train tickets bought. I hope the rain belting down in Hamilton avoids Dumbarton and there is no last minute postponement!
