St Mirren chairman Stewart Gilmour has told BBC Scotland his club are extremely disappointed with the state of the pitch at Pittodrie on Saturday.
on the surface, which three days earlier.
Gilmour feels the surface made it difficult for both teams to perform.
Aberdeen say they are doing everything they can to maintain the pitch and have had the elements against them.
And the Dons intend to have work done on the surface during the close season.
Since the pitch was re-laid in 2004, Aberdeen have not had a game postponed as a result of having an unplayable surface.
The Scottish Premier League were unwilling to comment on the matter until the match delegate's report is out, which is expected on Tuesday.

You can't play good passing football on the rutted fields we often see in Scotland. People blame the weather, but why is anyone surprised when Aberdeen experiences sub-zero temperatures during the winter? It's the same every year.
Artificial pitches are the way forward if we want to see passing football in the SPL.
Joey you're correct that the new stadium does not have the same character as Love Street but all we could get was an SPL compliant stadium for £x.
Just going on the word of some St Mirren fans I know. They said there was no consultation with fans on stadium design. Needs must and it is better to have a debt free football team in these times. I did enjoy going to Love Street, it had character. Being stuck behind the goal in the new ground is no fun, it does have a bit of a tin pot feeling about it.
...funniest thing I've read all year. Please tell me your having a laugh?
If you actually think we'll be watching Aberdeen play in a new stadium soon then think again...You've just been Topper Greenjizzed...how did it feel?
He is entitled to give his view on the condition of a pitch in a match involving his own team = minding his own business. St Mirren have won awards for their pitch = maybe Aberdeen should seek his advice?
