St Johnstone chief executive Stan Harris has expressed his displeasure with the postponement of the Perth club’s Dens Park match against Dundee.
Nearly 2,000 Saints fans were expected to travel across Tayside for the final Premiership match before the mid-season break.
However, Dens has failed yet another pre-match pitch inspection, with Harris pointing out that over £100,000 had been spent in recent months on strengthening McDiarmid Park’s drainage.
“I’m very frustrated for our supporters who had bought tickets in large numbers who were looking forward to backing the team at Dens Park and I thank them for that,” Harris went on to say.
“We were told at 9.30am of a precautionary pitch inspection but were advised that things looked to be promising in terms of the game going ahead and so to find out at 11.30am that the match was off was very disappointing.
“We do understand the problems that waterlogged pitches can cause and that is why we invested over £100,000 last summer to improve the drainage on our own playing surface.
“I’d like to thank our ticket office staff who, with it being paper tickets, manually administered the sale of just short of 2,000 tickets.”
