A PITCH inspection will be held tomorrow morning to determine whether Dunfermline's home clash with Queen's Park will go ahead.
In the last few minutes, the Pars have announced that a "precautionary" inspection will be held at 11am.
Last night (Thursday) the club said they were "hopeful" that the fixture - rearranged from early December, when it was postponed - would take place.
They said that, whilst they had repaired issues with the undersoil heating system that caused Saturday's game with Airdrieonians to be called off, they had not been able to test it fully.
Athletic haven't switched the system on ahead of tomorrow's game, and had said that the pitch was frozen.
