A Son of the Rock

This follows on from Dumbarton P-P Stirling Albion on Tuesday night – a completely farcical call-off made only when the game referee turned up and had a look at the pitch.

Every Dumbarton fan knows that a strip of pitch on the stand side doesn’t get the sun, so how come the groundsman didn’t make efforts to alleviate this or call for an earlier inspection? (There’s history with the present groundsman, too complicated to go into here.)

At least today’s call-off was after a 10 am inspection and no fans, local or travelling, were inconvenienced by it.

However it does mean that the rearranged Stirling game (now due on Tuesday) – if it goes ahead – has become a must-not-lose since they managed to reduce the gap to two points after gaining a win in added time today. And they still have a game in hand.
