Match cancelled SPFL announced the postponed of Motherwell clash with Aberdeen for 2 interesting reason……

Tonight’s cinch Premiership match against Motherwell at Pittodrie has been postponed.

Storm Gerrit has left significant flooding and damage to most of the major routes in and out of Aberdeen, with rail services all cancelled.

And although the weather is forecast to improve into the evening, the potentially hazardous travelling conditions for fans wishing to attend, the decision was taken to postpone the fixture to a future date.

Whilst much of Pittodrie has been battered by significant rain and gale force winds, the stadium itself and the pitch have coped admirably well,” Chief Executive Alan Burrows

“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.
