It was corrected to 69 in both the SFL Review and the Rothmans.

To be fair, Soccerbase is one of the most unreliable websites going - especially with Scottish stuff as they don't give a crap. The correct figure was 69. iirc it was the same day as the Tall Ships event which shut Greenock hours before kick off.

The official gate wasn't 29. It was below 100 though.

Here's my say: anyone pleading poverty on half a million a year because of mortgages, bills and pension schemes can shove their own 'member' up their own behind.

I loved Whye's line that "every penny going into the club has been accounted for" with regards to the missing millions. Of course, the missing millions didn't go into 'the club' in the first place, hence them being 'missing'!

Jim the optimist:" Where are those missing millions?"

Aye we'll never know what Norwich would have sold at, but considering it was for an under-contract captain heading for double figures halfway through a Premiership season with a typical lower division side, I'd have thought towards the £4-5m mark. It's quite good - he's become the 'loving cup' for me - every time I see him, I think of Rangers!

Don't think loans count.

I haven't seen much in the way of material that is libellous. A wee difference (IMO) in printing empty stories about player transfers and reporting on serious financial malpractice.

I think that's a bit naive. Last week at the QOS v Aberdeen game open all mics, Richard Gordon was speaking about this with Chic and others, in short these guys all sometimes see evidence (RG specified this) but it's only shown to them, and is not in their possession. Without concrete proof of its existence, they are in a very difficult legal position and will not run such stories.

Benarty played at Dallas Doyle Park on Navitie Park, home I believe of the current Benarty Amateurs.

Kilmarnock must surely win the prize for that? The Rabbie Burns Centre & Bus Station is one hell of a hideous combo.

The Junior football itinery takes in many of Scotland's high spots. I could offend half the country here but I'll try not to! Suffice to say, I've found even the worst places have something to offer, usually a warm pub! I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread, but Forth was a strange place. We were directed by their committee to the British Legion for a pint, only to find it was closed down/very shut! The alternative was limited but I ended up in a masonic lodge I think, watching Gretna v Dundee on the telly. The ground itself was pretty rustic - the boundary fence had long disappeared on at least 2 sides. I was going to apply for a job in Girvan around the time of our visit there in May but changed my mind upon actually getting there and walking around. That apart I could list a further dozen or so crap towns but living in Paisley I guess that's tantamount to breaking the "people in glass houses..." proverb.

Danny Ogunmade was born in Glasgow and to confirm the Lanarkshire connection,briefly played Junior with Bellshill in 2004-05. Vic Kasule was born in Glasgow on 28/5/65, joining Albion Rovers during the 82-83 season from Motherwell Miners Ams.

Yep, forgot about him. Born in Glasgow.

Kevin Harper was born in England but raised in Edinburgh. Black Scottish-born footballers include Chris Mackie (ex Alloa), Malcolm Kpedekpo (ex Aberdeen), Chris Ogboke (ex Montrose). Callum McRobbie of Aberdeen's U19s could be mixed race? Cowdenbeath's Joe Mbu has played for Junior Scotland but he was born in London as far as I know. Gordon Lennon of Dumbarton was born in Northern Ireland but I've no idea how long he's been over here - he joined Albion Rovers from Govan juvenile side Harmony Row. There are a few other black players in the non-leagues such as Dan Gerrard and Max Asante but I don't know if they were born in Scotland either. I think Arniston's Ubong Umatong came up from England and I've no idea where Albion Rovers signed Abou Mansare from - he's now at St Anthony's. East Craigie have a black forward called Josh Perera.
