    No as I said. Came in about quarter to 3 parked walked in to the ground. Left at final whistle got in car and was out no queues nothing.

    Could have been different people. Not a clue. I did wonder who would be pocketing the £5 a head parking for the number of cars there

    Stewards were probably confused at the small crowd and thought it was the car boot sale instead imo 

    If only your big crowd had managed to beat fucking TNS!

    Was fine on Saturday with nearly double the crowd on the Sunday. I was in parked no bother and out in seconds after the game. Maybe different folk running the show.

    Surely doesn't make a difference though as your car park has a finite number of spaces. Apparently i got the very last parking space so whether it was 6k or 3k attendance wouldnt matter as once your car park is full then its full. Did seem a bit chaotic.

    Just scraped over half what we got for a league game in league one yesterday. Pitiful crowd.

    Sure we will cope. Something about the Falkirk stadium. Just never seem to lose there

    Flare burn marks on the pitch. That’ll be a hefty bill straight to Airdrie 

    Incorrect. Was thrown by the Welsh mob after their first goal. 

  4. It might be the diddy cup but it feels fucking glorious to win something. Loads of players out injuries or cup tied but felt we were fairly comfortable.

    My only sadness is the realisation that, at some point, McCabe will leave airdrie. Genuinely the best it’s been supporting airdrie in my almost 40 years of living.

    That's the problem though, many artificial pitches are down far far too long.

    Queen of the south and Falkirk both had pitches down beyond their expected life span, well beyond in Queens case. Would imagine Raiths would be replaced this close season or next?

    I think teams drag the arse out of it and that's the problem, also what do folk do with their old pitches would be good if they were donated to local uses that could use them but I suspect they end up in landfill.

    I’m sure old montrose pitch was donated to the local golf club who put it all over their course for paths

    It’s either £5 to park at the ground (but pretty chaotic when leaving), or park at the nearby college for free - there’s bags of space there.  It’s about a 15 minute walk but there’s a few detours in place because of ridiculous roadworks going on outside.

    Don’t break anything please.

    Think I’ll do the stadium parking. Would imagine there won’t be near as many cars as a usual home game. 

  7. The issue with cove is they will always be reliant on the crumbs from aberdeen. This also creates an issue because of their name being cove rangers which instantly puts off quite a few aberdeen fans. They are almost reliant on corporate guests and they do really well out of this with their hospo and summer and Xmas events. It’s hard to say whether this will ever drop as they are generally good days and I wouldn’t think are overly dependant on the quality of the football team. 
     

    However, let’s be honest. Aside from Falkirk, all the current league 1 teams have very average supports. Most games get 500-600 which is not enough to sustain a league 1 clue looking for promotion, unless the corporate and sponsorship element is decent. 
     

    As I mentioned earlier, I think cove will struggle with a lot of locals due to having rangers in their name.

    We're not a physical team, we're a team of largely small players. Yes we play long into Oakley, but we're a team of energetic, press heavy players. So it's annoying when fans and managers of other players call us a team of Hammer throwers. It's always us that get kicked off the park when opposition teams try make it into a physical battle, as seen by the Airdrie thugs trying to maim Oakley and Crawford 

    Forgot Adam frizzell, Liam mccstravick, Charlie telfer, Rhys McCabe and cammy ballantyne were fucking giants you absolute cabbage

    Fair fcks to Airdrie for throwing out their Plan A and going back to 90s style, I could have sworn Jimmy Sandison was playing. The c**t.

    We are utterly toothless up front without Kane. 

    Aye the pitch was absolutely stinking. We actually did still play some good football but its clear McCabe has learned his lesson from last season where he refused to budge from the passing style. Its glorious to watch. I actually thought we were pretty comfortable. Still be happy to finish anything above 8th
