  1. Am I right in saying that New Bayview is now Astro?

     

    Feeling quietly confident, there are minor signs of improvement but overall still a lot of work to be done. East fife will obviously be looking for an improvement on their last two weeks with the defeat to BSC and Airdrie so no chance for us to be complacent.

     

    If we are going to win this then we need to get into the game a lot quicker than we did today.

     

  2. Luke 19:3
     
    And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature


    Why does that remind me of standing on the hope street terrace as a bairn [emoji23].

    Genuinely would love to do an open uni degree in theology. It’s a fascinating subject area, but I’m already in the honours year of a politics degree and trying to get into a teaching post grad haha.
  3. I'm sure that Luke mentions something about them attending the cenus of Quirinious.
     

    I had tried to find something. But what I did research is that there is a general error somewhere. And that one of the stories were true and the other not. One would assume Matthew as it was the first written, therefore in theory the one nearest to the timeline of events.

    Although was there not some couple hundred years between the books, obviously the stories were passed in via story telling at first. Can imagine the Chinese whispers effect here.
  4. You Sir are a genuine hero, one thousand likes should be your reward.
     

    His argument was that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus didn’t flee as refugee from king Herod. They were attending a census.

    I’m not a religious person, but a small bit of research shows that Matthew 2:13-2:23 states that Joseph was wanted by an angel of Herod’s desire to kill the new born son of god. Hence the fleeing.

    Also, the first census occurred 9 years after Herod’s death. Ergo, he can’t pick and choose what aspect. He recognised the role of Herod.

    This all came about when he I called someone for being racist to refugees then stating if they are truly Christian then they cannot celebrate Christmas with those views, given that’s surrounds the role of refugees fleeing to safety.
  5. So you'd be driving to Falkirk, getting on a bus then driving to Ayrshire when you get back? The Supporters Bus experience should surely involve alcohol? 


    Takes an hour per unit of alcohol to leave the system ;)

    Seriously though, I don’t mind if I’m not drinking. Would rather travel with other fans as opposed to driving to places like Montrose on my own from ayrshire.
  6. That is a similar position to where we are now. Only this time we don't have a stadium as security. There was a plan as I remember for a redeveloped Brockville that was financially viable but we went the new stadium route.
    As I recollect the new stand was going to be shifted back. Making room for a bigger Watson Street stand. With 2nd phase for small stands behind the goal joining onto the 2 existing stands making it a totally enclosed seated stadium. 8-10,000 capacity. There was an artists impression going about at the time.
    Anyway that's all academic, we are where we are. Minor stakeholders in a stadium and until that changes we cannot maximise income.



    Would love to see how that would’ve looked
  7. We've sold out the main stand plenty of times though.  Our capacity is fine, it's the stadium deal that's killing us and one that board can never explain or justify. 


    At the time, when we just had one stand it will great as it could accommodate the home support, but I feel like we should’ve just built it smaller and put up four stands. Thus, we wouldn’t had no need for an oversized main stand.

    If the fourth stand ever goes up, I feel we are going to have four disproportionately sized sides, unless they opt for a boca juniors wall with some seats
  8. Why didn't you just buy the off-peak ticket and explain about the machine to the guard/TE? The worst that would have happened would you being having to pay the excess.

    I had read back what I wrote and realised I missed out the part where I bought the ticket [emoji23]
  9. Was getting the train through to the Linlithgow rose game last Friday night. Used the machine at queen street, bought my tickets.

    Now, I couldn’t get through the barrier as all the machine had on offer was off-peak, yet this was peak time. Explained to the guy that worked there that the machine is goosed, and I’ve now missed my train. Instead of an apology and a correction of tickets, I still had to pay the excess. Now had it been my human error I’d have accepted that, but, this was scotrails fault. An error that had caused me to miss the planned train and caused a half hour weight that ate into valuable pub crawl time.

  10. The first phase main stand was an ego trip and set the template for the wing stands.  The seating at the back was too far away from the pitch and out of proportion with the size of the stadium. 
    We could have had 4 smaller stands for the same money for we have now with the potential to fill in the corners at a later date.
     


    I always felt we never needed the top tier of seating in the main stand. You just need to see the number of empty seats in the main stand to realise how grossly oversized it is
  11.  Well at least the two from fife could only manage a point tonight, so top four split by only three points. If we ever needed a kick on........



    Must admit I was surprised when I saw that, but, not going to complain one bit. Did expect Raith to take something from Forfar; as opposed to a draw. Although, I reckon east fife and Clyde would’ve had a draw written all over it.
