I think the hospitality cabin is for the away teams committee and home sponsors at half time.
Yeah that's the point. The home sponsors. Instead of scrambling around with a week or so of notice the club can market sponsorship weeks in advance. It's a big difference.6 -
I live in Dalkeith and have sadly been solidly part of the ambivalence towards the football team part of the town.
The main reason for this on my part is lack of fixture lists. I'm generally going to commit to something else on a Saturday rather than wait and see if there happens to be a game in town. And if I do find I have a floating Saturday then I have seven teams playing in the county, not to mention Edinburgh on the doorstep, so I'll take my pick.
At the moment there is only one Dalkeith home game scheduled, while the EOSFL has fixtures planned through to end of April. I think having a fixture schedule in place will be really positive locally, and definitely in regard to the bookings for the wee hospitality cabin.
I'm not saying I'll become a super fan overnight, but I do expect I'll make more than my 2-3 games per season if I have something to plan towards.
I wish them a lot of luck. For them to jump up the pyramid like these before the juniors will eventually move en masse is I think a smart move. Time will tell if that advantage lasts!!15 -
Working through Black Isle tap list. Dry January has been flooded out.

This went down well last night. Too well.

Not their best tonight. Poor sound. One or two tickets unsold!
Going to see them in Manchester in a few weeks in a smallish room and I am absolutely certain it will be significantly better than the Hydro. Fosters / Hot Dogs / Selfies....0 -
shinty , lochaber v kyles , is it ?
Spot on!1 -
Guildford Arms tonight. An Edinburgh institution!
The guy behind me is talking about 1314 with much fury. He may have been around then. I'm enjoying it whilst I'm waiting for my pint, his swearing is a thing of wonder.

Some new Douglas Laing stuff to get into. Must say I'm looking forward to the Caol Ila, the best peated whisky I've had is a First Editions Caol Ila of the same age.
Pure filth to look at on a sunny morning on the Clyde Riviera.
That red wine Kilchoman is wonderful. Top choices there!!0 -
Been thinking about doing the same, maybe stopping a night or two. What's the pub like?
Plockton Hotel is excellent for food, good beer selection also (photo attached). I had the Cromarty Happy Chappy.
They do a pint of prawns, fish landed at harbour in village - brilliant food. Service is so/so.
I've stayed there as well on a previous trip, and room was ok. Worth paying extra for a sea view.
Plockton Shores is good for food, only doing dinners now though, lunch done for season I think.
Plockton Inn also, never had food there but found it really friendly for pints last time I stayed in town.
The seal trip boat is finishing up for season at end of week. Back in April.
Finally, the BBC Out of Doors podcast of last Saturday was about the Kyle line and worth a listen if you're doing the trip.
Enjoy it if you go!

£10 return Inverness to Plockton yesterday (no concessions or railcards used), booked not that long back. Took a wee boat trip in Plockton, saw some seals, had a pub lunch, came home. Trains were clean and punctual, staff were friendly. Scotrail at their best.

Congratulations to Kinlochshiel, League Champions!

Anyone else missing the Scotland game in the pub on Sunday to do bedtime? I've not seen R since Wednesday morning - been at a conference for work - and won't see him much tomorrow either for another unavoidable thing.
I imagine me 20 years ago being told you'll willingly miss a Scotland World Cup qualification decider (sort of) for your kid. I'd have been outraged and I'm sort of outraged on behalf of that guy then. Sorry 1990s me!
But I'm really missing him and hopefully next time we get a big game the times will be kinder (or I'll bite the bullet and buy Sky!). All I want to do on Sunday is spend time with him and by time he's down I'll check score and that will be that.
Or I'll break and take him to the pub with me on Sunday! Four years old is ok to go out on lash isn't it?!
I must admit I'd felt a wee bit outgrown from watching Scotland and caring much - that Norway "miss" game broke me it really did - but by Christ it came flooding back last night! At 80 mins i was texting my Dad to berate him for making me Scottiah.
But still, Sunday game is out for me and it's my choice.0 -
I've got Alter Bridge on Thursday, never been to Usher Hall before. Good for gigs?
Standing area has a nice slope to it so you'll get a decent view. Feels quite intimate for the size of room it is.
Bars get quite congested. I usually loiter in the Blue Blazer until close to stage time to avoid the queues inside.
Sound should be good quality, the room is designed to make the big chamber orchestras which normally play there sound good.0 -
This has went from keek to classic. First half was one sided, then Lovat turned good all of a sudden.
Enjoyed the second half thoroughly, think Newtonmore deserved the win.

Bad day at the office for a driver today. Ran a red light near Waverley and buckled a set of points. More or less all trains cancelled from Waverley until 12, some getting in and out through a secret tunnel or a black hole.
My train to Inverness was eventually cancelled. Now waiting on a bloody Mega Bus instead.
Coinciding with engineering works and closures elsewhere I'd hate to be in their customer services team right now.0 -
I was visiting an office recently and they had Forth 2 on. I was stuck in there all day listening to that music Woolworths sold in a 99p bin, adverts for funeral tea venues and bloody multiple choice quizzes.
You can't possibly as a visitor say for the love of Christ will you turn that shite off. So on and on it went. Awful.2 -
Kinlochshiel on verge of league title. Incredible!
Cup Final in Inverness next week and them off to Oban to see league decider week after - two big games to look forward to.
Skye promoted, Caberfeidh sweating on results elsewhere to go up with them.
Quite the season!
A wee Hugh Dan event coming in Edinburgh for anyone with a passing interest and the ability to bunk off of an afternoon: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/broadcasting-mingles-with-the-air-of-the-glens-tickets-376560713230 -

On some occasions I was just too pished to write a decent review.
As some have mentioned, they are far better live than on official releases.
Also, check arcive.org and you can find some brilliant quality bootlegs, semi-endorsed (not prohibited) by the band.
Enjoy!
Amazing that archive.org stuff. I just found a link to my first ever Mogwai show. Jaffa Cake, August 1997.

Bump.
Been listening to Every Country's Sun almost non-stop.
I feel like this is their best in a looong time and some of the tunes are going to be magnificent live. The title track closer is just a thing of absolute beauty.
Totally agree on the last track. Proper goosebumps music.
I'll be at The Hydro. Also got Ride at the QH before it. The Hydro will be the gig of the year for me.
I really hope they're selling the poster image of the Hydro as a tshirt.

Paul Draper at King Tuts. Yes!! If all I'm judging it on was Wide Open Space and a chance to time travel back to 1997 then that will do me. Sheer escapism.
"Disgusting" acoustic - also v.good...
His new stuff so so. Couple of them hit the mark.
A good night!0 -
The youngest being 5 and just sat his green belt test.
Karate he seems to be enjoying :-)
What age did he start? My wee boy just turned four, I'm thinking he's ready for something like karate.0 -
On Islay. Bowmore tasting later.

I met a guy on a bus one time who had come to Scotland from Malawi specifically to see Blantyre. would he not have liked it?
What brought him there? Dr Livingstone, I presume?0

Game one was frozen off! Went to see the Churchill film instead and now repeating the mistakes of last night in the pubs of Inverness.
