  1. After finishing 4th in the 1st season then 7th and a disappointing 8th last season I kinda thought we found our level for the pyramid but a change of manager and a strong finish to last season I'm a bit more optimistic for the new season. I'm certainly not gonnae shout from any rooftops to say we'll win it,a decent Scottish Cup run would be a good start though. I think you guys will be the team everyone will try to raise their game to, whether that helps you go straight back up I don't know but think yourselves along wi EK and dare I say it Spartans will be up there. Cumbernauld had a good 1st season they could be dark horses. Gretna like us can only improve, the Uni of Stirling usually have a decent side as well. There could be other teams surprising as well. All looks well for an interesting season given the success and exposure Edinburgh City have brought to the LL.
  2. Welcome to the LL I've a feeling this will be the biggest thread of the season and I'm sure teams will appreciate your travelling support. Galashiels is easily done by train, many good bars in Galashiels high Street 5/10 min taxi to ground though they have a club underneath the main stand or maybes worth checking out if the rugby club bar is open next door. (Selkirk a further 6 mile taxi run but reasonably cheap).selkirk also sell alcohol in there wee clubhouse but maybe bottles only, there's a cricket club right next to their park. Prestonpans easy on train again. They have Prestonpans legion next to the park but sell alcohol in the club inside ground (last I was there again it was bottle beers but very cheap) No need to introduce Cumbernauld or Stirling destinations nor Edinburgh teams(spartans serve you alcohol behind the goals at their club but Edinburgh Uni maybe more difficult for a pint, not sure if they have a public bar as yet.Gretna (social club in car park showing sky matches not associated with club but they have the excellent wee bar inside ground) change Carlisle or direct from Glasgow central but takes forever. Dalbeattie is aboot half hour on bus from Dumfries station,they have a social club in their stand but one or two bars in the town . Innerleithen has a nice social club on the main street where they do the after match players hospitality, also a pub with a beer garden gate straight into the ground, I'm sure it'll be stewarded when you guys are in town though lol. Not sure where the bsc are going to play and EK is a wee trek to get to in the middle of country park. ww nearest station would now be eskbank and either cross bridge and get 49 (20 mins from tesco) or taxi. Don't get a 49 from Waverley north bridge it takes forever. Best jumping on a 31 to Bonnyrigg and meeting a 49 connection their. It's £1.60 set bus fare in Edinburgh and surrounding areas whether one stop or hundred stops. We've got a wee social club inside the ground as well.Roll on the new season
  3. Morpeth have sold 4000 tickets. 8 buses will leave the town at 4:30 in the morning for the stupid kick off time. Best of luck to ye have a good day.
  4. Rang that one yesterday but didn't get back to me. Have left a further message as might be another bus. Thanks again
  5. Aye I'm the same bud not on hibs. net either. I've left it too late for a seat but couldn't make plans until got ticket.
  6. Yes bud had accrued a few loyalty points got ticket Saturday
  7. Any spare seat lads I'm travelling up Fri night from Newcastle.
  8. Exactly Darlington 1883 being latest club to go through the lower leagues. They are now just 2 divisions off the football league after 3 promotions in 4 seasons.
  9. What is it wi the Dingle family home being sold ? Surely with the amount of Dingles that there are it wouldn't have went up for sale without at least a special Dingle family meeting and some kind of protest to keep it in the family ???
  10. Morpeth have 45 year old ex Hamilton Chris Swailes playing centre half.whats yer front line like ? The game only came to life yesterday after 82 minutes when Bowers got a man sent off. Maybes a relief for Bowers manager as he was due to get married on cup final day Best of luck for the final in what should be a good day out with the FA trophy being played after the Vase final.
  11. Aye but eastenders is fictional wi professional actors....wait a minute the same paper later on reported Beesley s back
  12. Anyone from Spartans care to comment on today's front page of the Edinburgh Evening News. I thought you were all one big family
  13. Blackpool double chance Barnsley double chance 15/8
  14. Bolton ict celtic Liverpool just under 9/4 ??
  15. I backed don cossack (I'm having bad day lol) . Great run from vautour anybody think it just didn't get the distance ?
  16. There was bit money for Kings chorister 3:00 Sedgefield last time out. Trainer liked it each way chances then. At around 9/2 could be worth taking a chance on a place or better today ? Storm Forecast 3:30 2/1 fav was Malcolm Jefferson s tip from the racing post interviews last week ?
  17. Michael o Neill just said lives Edinburgh
  18. Considering ww last senior competitive game was 24 th October I'm not surprised one or two over age players have been drafted in especially wi a lack of match practice. Fairly certain it's allowed in the rules so is open to ALL teams not just ww or Preston.
  19. But they'll be team of year surely..........
  20. Good to hear soor plooms it can only be of benefit to the senior team. ww have had some good additions to their squad from the 20s. Excellent idea would save the embarrassment I suppose.
