Tonight’s match against Peterborough, the return of Craig Cook, has had to be postponed due to yet another day of very bad weather in central Scotland.

We called it off in early afternoon, by which time Edinburgh probably hadn’t had much unfavourable weather, but it had already been drizzling most of the morning at Armadale followed by much heavier rain, with more forecast for later in the day.

It’s our seventh postponement of the season, easily a record by this stage, and John Campbell said “The only two tracks in the UK which would have been rained off today would have been Glasgow and Edinburgh.”

Talks will be ongoing regarding rescheduling the remainder of the fixtures, but we certainly have Somerset next Friday and Glasgow in the Cup second leg on the 26th.

Those supporters who purchased online advance tickets for the match can use them for next week's meeting or any equivalent meeting to the end of the season.
