Game off - first ever Gayfield postponement due to waterlogging?

climate change or wimpishness strikes again So, i've seen postponments due to high winds, snow, frost, fog but now, appearing for the first time at a stadium near you - a postponement due to a waterlogged pitch - incredible on such a free draining sandy undersoil. What's to blame - the timidity and overcaution of match officials who donlt fancy a bit of discomfort.   As global climate change inexorably brings more extreme weather events to these shores this combination raises the issue - can we play football in Scotland in winter in future?    I'd be loth to see it disappear but see no alternative BBC :  The Division Three match between Arbroath and Clyde has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Arbroath had arranged for an inspection at Gayfield Park after heavy rain fell on Friday night, flooding the surface.
