Apology
[Sunday, 16 December 2018 11:12]
Forfar Athletic would obviously like to apologise to any fans who had to wait outside the turnstiles at yesterday’s game before they opened at 2.40p.m.
It was only after a third assessment of the worsening overhead conditions that referee John McKendrick gave the game the go ahead at that time.
The decision was taken at 2.30p.m. to delay the opening of the turnstiles until John’s decision to avoid the possibility of having to organises immediate refunds etc.
Trust all will understand the difficult position club officials and safety staff were put under in what were fairly extreme weather conditions.
Thankfully once the game did start just a few minutes after the scheduled kick-off time, the full ninety minutes plus were completed.
