The club wishes to provide fans with an update regarding the postponement of today’s Irn Bru Cup Quarter Final match v Bohemian FC.
The match referee inspected the pitch at 1.30 pm and was not satisfied that it was in a safe condition at that time but was willing to give the game a chance by delaying a decision to nearer kick off. After discussions between officials and management from both sides, along with input from the SPFL and FAI, the decision was taken to call the game off.
During these discussions, the possibility of playing the match later this evening or tomorrow morning on an artificial surface was explored but no suitable alternative could be found. The SPFL will now meet on Monday to decide the next steps, after which we will provide an update.
The club can only apologies to the hundred of fans who travelled over to Dublin to support the team and fully appreciate the expense incurred.
Thanks again for your continued support it was fantastic to see so many photos of black & gold scarfs all over the city!
