Following a pitch inspection this afternoon, tonight’s match against Dunfermline Athletic in the SPFL Trust Trophy has been postponed.
The match has been postponed due to constant freezing temperatures over the past two days leaving the pitch in an unplayable condition.
Tonight’s match is the third match to be called off in a short period of time at the Kilmac Stadium and all within the club feel the same frustrations as supporters that these matches have been unable to go ahead. A significant amount of work has been put in place for each fixture from all departments.
The first two matches were called off due to heavy rain and after Saturday’s match against Partick Thistle failed an inspection the club looked ahead to the forecast for the coming week.
While we were aware freezing temperatures were coming in this financial climate it would have been fiscally irresponsible for the club to put the undersoil heating on. We informed the SPFL of this well in advance of today.
On Monday, we contacted the league to request an inspection as early as possible to try and limit the disruption for both clubs and both sets of supporters that was felt last Tuesday with such a late call-off.
The referee inspected the pitch today and has deemed it unplayable.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this postponement and will update on a rescheduled date as soon as we receive that information.
