From Shotts Twitter a couple of mins ago: Work being done on the pitch right now to try and clear water from a heavy volume of recent rain. Hopefully the effort will be worthwhile

As the game is now off, will it be rescheduled for Saturday 26th October? As we don't gave a game that day as it's the 2nd round of the Scottish Cup..

As Shotts have a game that day I'd guess not. They do have floodlights so maybe a week on Tuesday (22nd) perhaps or maybe Tuesday 29th which is when EK play their game in this cup which they couldn't today as they were beating Airdrie in the SPFL Challenge Cup instead.

Should have paid more attention!  Hail stones at one point.

Disappointing that Rovers game at Shotts was rained off - the weather in Shotts is notorious though. Went to Cumbernauld Utd v Maryhill instead and the weather there was horrendous for spells too but the pitch held up well and Utd had no difficulty in winning 8-0.

Saw pictures of the pitch and it looked like the correct decision. Hope not too many had made there way to the game by car.

Mmm, is the weather in Shotts more notorious? At least something to debate 'till Wed night |

Worked in the Shotts branch of Airdrie Savings Bank. The advice was to carry a shovel in the boot even in July to dig the car out!
So, yes, could be grim, and I say that living in Shetland which can also be rough.
Down for a wee while, but Shotts was the one game I could get to. Life's a bitch.....

The game has been rescheduled for Saturday 16th November which is the date scheduled for the next (4th) round with a 2pm k-o. Saw this on Shotts Twitter.

I worked in Shotts for a year and echo Nanook's comments about the weather, always worse than just a few miles away.

If so it bodes well as they won the cup last season.
