Thing is it before the wooden benches in the cooshed it was just concrete terracing. Then before that railway ash with wooden sleepers as terracing. Its just the regulations clubs need to do. I wish either side of the cooshed was covered with just high banks of terracing. That would be really good addition. Then the young team might be allowed to sing and create some atmosphere away from the moaning old farts in the plastic seats.

Why not. 9 games left, game in hand, 6 at home. Forfar stinkin the place out as well. Nothing certain in football. I've said before if you play any sport you don't chuck it when you still have a chance. As a stranraer fan of over 40 years I've seen it all. Comebacks to win leagues. Comebacks to avoid relegation. Seems to me a lot of fans of other clubs have some sort of crystal ball allowing them to definitely know what's going to happen. If we were relegated over 36games then that would have been tough but deserved. However over 27 games is different and if other clubs had been in the same situation as stranraer there views would have been the same as ours.

I think we are upto a grand. Not bad. Stranraer folk a bit slow on the up take of online stuff. Remember they just got the Internet there recently. I created the StranraerFCtv YouTube channel years ago and before that various websites. People still amazed some of the archived stuff is online. https://donateaticket.com/donate/stranraer/ St Rochs are well supported and the heart of a big community related to celtic so no surprise there's is bigger.

Lol. 5 points is nothing. You are absolutely right we have been pants but have you been at all the stranraer matches. Obviously no. So you are basically saying just because our results have been poor fir 27 games we couldn't suddenly pic up some good results. Wow. I have been watching football a long time. Things change and Stranraer sides have done this sort of thing before. We actually won a league in 1998 from second bottom we won 12 out of 14 to take the title. Obviously this is a poorer side but to right off a teams chance to survive is bizarre. If you are playing golf and your 6 down with 7 to play. You don't walk in. You fight until its over.

Is it not obvious I'm saying that if we're to go down then it would be strange that other teams were getting off with it. I also think the teams at the top should be given promotion in some sort of reconstruction whatever that might be. Stranraer if they win game in hand would be 5 points behind with 8 games left. That's not much. We have 6 games at home and players were coming back from injury so there is every chance we could have put pressure on Forfar who have been pretty pants as well. Still think its bizarre to want a team relegated by voting. Sorry I wouldn't want raith relegated by voting anyway considering my dad was born in Kirkcaldy. I might want Queen of the South..

Its hard to believe some of the comments on here. Its bizarre some of the fans of other clubs think its fair to relegate teams with games in hand and 9 games left. I wouldn't to do that to another team. Another resolution should be found. Well done East Fife and Falkirk. On top of that brechin survive and nobody up from non league. You couldnae write it. Corruption of the highest order.

We have its on our official website, twitter and Facebook. Linked to whole match YouTube threads recently. http://www.stranraerfc.org/index.php/77-latest-news/1740-relive-donate-a-ticket

Also the town about 10 years ago not sure decided the school academy would get the 3g pitch inside the running track. Thats fine but stranraerfc look after it. Get grief for doing so. I wish we had either a tremendous grass pitch or a new 4g pitch. Then all our reserves youth teams and ladies could play on stair park. Some wee neds fae the toon would probably burn it tho

Town has a strange attitude to its team. You have the diehards. All the people that moved away that still go home and away now and again. However there is too many people with strange chips on their shoulders in the town. Nobody has been able to change the views of the haters as of yet. Myself and others who live away find it very strange as the town is very lucky to have an spfl1 team with a population between 10 and 12k. There is good hospitality at the park. 2 executive boxes and an internal sponsors suite. The bad design of stand means the rooms arent big. That isn't really a problem at the moment though. Old folks chase away the young team who have been singing and trying to create an atmosphere. Apathy is rife it really is bizarre and to think the money a football club has brought to the town. Anyway I've put 25quid in the pot on the online donation fund. I feel my 15quid most weeks was a donation anyway. I wish more felt the same.

Pretty even match. First half the blues got a stonewall penalty denied. 2nd half was disappointing. Never really got a head of steam up. Montrose started to look more threatening and stronger as match wore on. Goal came from a poor kick by our goalie. We never recovered and it was a fine finish. Another bad result. Draw wouldnt have been a bad result in my opinion as Montrose are a decent outfit and we didnt even get that. Next two matches are crucial. Not a pitch for good football we were trying to run with the ball up the wings and doesnt work. The pitch was tackling the players. Very frustrating. Pre match pitch looked fine. It cut up and became bobbly.

Ah well not to be. Fought hard against the well drilled Montrose. Could have quite easily got something positive from this game. An entertaining match. Controversial 3rd goal killed us of but my gopro pic just about proves the goal might have been onside. Hopefully we can start getting some breaks and take the chances as we are running out of time

Custom house for wetherspoons type food. StranraerFC Fitba bar next door for pre match and post match. Their is also the pavilion bar at the ground next to turnstiles you will go in. Craigenelder is also a good pub with food just 5-10minutes walk from the ground and 10minutes walk from station at end of pier.

Sadly town appears in general not to give feck. Too many say they support the old firm yet dont go to see them. You are allowed to support both though. The apathy is rife. Too many with chips on their shoulders and too many with negative attitudes instead of trying to help the club develop. There is no reason why it couldn't prosper really. Just need people to give themselves a shake and go now and again. I don't think people in the town realise the money a fitba club brings into such a remote town. Out of 300 home fans. Probably 100 of them come from other parts of the country to watch them. So only 200odd from a town of 10000-12000 is pretty grim.

Bang on. Very bizarre schedule.

Pitch inspection today at 3PM. Heavy rain all morning. Showers and 50mph winds tomorrow. I'd be surprised if its played.

The first claim for a pen is never a pen. Ball comes over and hits robbos thigh. Flies up onto his hand complete accident. If that had been given as a pen I would have walked out. 2nd one not much better. Ball comes over Thomson misjudged flight of ball due to wind probably dropping it short of where he wanted boom lands on the flaming ball.. pen. Not much luck there. Then straight in fae corner. Never mind we got what we deserved heehaw. Next...

Fate sealed oh well.

04/05 decider v Morton.

No probs. A season in which we should have stayed up. Queens signed 6 players in January. While we sold players and got injuries. Lost out in play off final to thistle. 3-2.

However if you arent at a game you wont know if we have been unlucky in a game will you. As I said we didnt deserve anything due to a bad period in the middle of the match. I have been very frustrated at several matches infact at clyde I left early which is unusual for me. Mind you I was oncall. 3nil down against 12men with 10 on park lol. Until its mathematically impossible then I will give the club full support. No point in changing the manager now. Whose going to come in now. The club have spoken to faz on numerous occasions about their plight. They will do so at the end of the campaign as well.

Were u at the game kv. Yes we are in a terrible position but with 3 points for a win it's never over till it's over. It's easy to be negative. I prefer to give the squad as much support as I can. All the best to young Jinky who got a nasty injury after falling awkwardly on the astro. Might be out for 6weeks. Yet another injury blow. We should have been 1up. Missed a gilt edge chance and were the better side. Then I thought and others thought stevo got pushed on halfway and the move forward might have been offside but hey 1nil. Then a very unfortunate pen. Ball in doesnt carry due to wind and thommo mistimes a header. Apparently accidental handball and the bampot ref gives a pen. Aggie scores. We concede a very easy 3rd for east fife and the confidence is gone. Arguing with teammates is rife. Then Wallace corner gets caught in wind and it flies in 4zip. We come into the game and perhaps could have nicked another after the 2 we got but the middle part of the game cost us when we were ragged. This is not a time to give up. The club needs as much support as they can get whether they go down or not. Town doesnt really deserve a team. It as if some want relegation. Soon get a shock if were a non league team with even worse crowds #monblu

Yip for ball out.
