Forfar Athletic v East Fife Postponed

Following a late morning inspection, tomorrow’s fixture against East Fife has been called off with over half of the Station Park surface still icebound, this despite a rise in temperature.  It is likely however that it would take around three days of similar temperatures to melt the ice and the frost which is several inches deep.

Amazingly the Loons could be in for a further blank Saturday through no fault of their own.   If Stenhousemuir triumph over Stranraer in the their fourth round Scottish tie, they will then play Motherwell on February 5th in round five, the day that Dick Campbell’s men are currently scheduled to travel to Ochilview on league business.
