Original fixture postponed due to weather, rescheduled.

With the weather forecast I can’t see this going ahead. The Fife v Edinburgh match cancelled and they are only 30 miles apart.

I was just thinking the same, looks bad enough up there at the minute and apparently it's going to get worse over the next couple of days, re arrange for Saturday or Sunday?

I doubt a day or two would make a huge difference, and the arena's busy on Saturday night anyway:
Motorpoint Arena - What's On

Well if it would normally take Dundee about nine or ten hours to get to Nottingham,in this weather I should think they can add at least a couple of hours on that,if they can get here at all.

Best thing they can do with this game is cancel it now.
Not going to be much of a game is it anyway after Dundee have spent half a day on a bus !

Fair play. I'm umming and erring about driving 15 minutes into town

Hopefully (for your sake) they make a decision very early on Friday.

We're making a late decision on weather (no pun intended) to take the risk from Chesterfield. I remember a few years ago it started to snow during the game, and was pretty bad by the third period. It took us ages to get back, and even thought about trying to find a room for the night.

It’s a lot worse up in Scotland apparently so it’s highly unlikely they will get down if it doesn’t improve. There’s nothing this Sunday, surely it would be smarter to move it to then? (Plus I’m working Friday and not Sunday so I could actually get to the game😂).

[iginla]

Dundee play Edinburgh on Sunday so that’s a no go.

Latest update says still planning to go ahead but monitoring it. Will pop up on Twitter when they decide something definite.

It's bad luck for you, but I'll be surprised if it's not rescheduled tbh.

[rhino1971]

Trains not meant to be running till 10 am no chance get there on time. So disappointed.

[EMB]

You should be able to claim the train fare back, we do it all the time at work when people can’t attend things last minute. You need to call the rail company, if you haven’t paid for the hotel on flexi you should be able to get that back aswell.

Still worth contacting them to ask for a refund, particularly under the circumstances.

[Yotes]

It'll be interesting to see how much better it is for them by Tuesday.

Might as well move into the NIC next week, amount of time we'll be spending there
