Scottish Championship: Airdrieonians v Falkirk off because of frozen pitch-ZoomTech News


Friday’s Scottish Championship fixture between Airdrieonians and Falkirk has been postponed due to a frozen pitch in Airdrie.

Particulars of the rearranged fixture have but to be introduced.

Sneddon advised BBC Scotland: “From fairly early on [in my pitch inspection] it was very clear there was a number of packed ice beneath the floor. Participant security was the important thing standards I used to be taking a look at.

“Though the ball can roll, I used to be very frightened about participant security as a result of that floor is absolutely exhausting. It is clear with the temperature and forecast that the ice is not going wherever.”

Livingston and Ayr United now have a chance to maneuver nearer to league-leaders Falkirk on Saturday, once they tackle Queen’s Park and Raith Rovers, respectively.

Second-placed Livingston are six factors behind Falkirk, whereas Ayr are some extent additional again in third.
