Aberdeen v Motherwell postponed
- Published
Following consultation with Police Scotland given the poor weather conditions caused by Storm Gerrit in and around the North East, Aberdeen's home match against Motherwell has been postponed.
Aberdeen Chief Executive Alan Burrows said: “Whilst much of Pittodrie has been battered by significant rain and gale force winds, the stadium itself and the pitch have coped admirably well,”
“However, as roads became flooded and unpassable, or damaged due to fallen trees, and with rail services being cancelled north of Dundee, it was clear it was going to be a very difficult ask for many supporters of both clubs to safely get to Pittodrie.
“We remained in dialogue with all stakeholders and after putting our case across to the league, it was agreed between the two clubs, the league and the Police that it was safest to rearrange the game.”
