Hello. Is this one pay at the gate for the away end? I'd rather not sit, but only seeing options to buy a ticket for the QP end.

6/42: St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell 31/7, Premiership. Neither side look particularly good, to be honest. Kelly impressive for Motherwell and St Mirren probably unlucky to lose overall. A good crowd in and a large and noisy Motherwell support making for a good atmosphere. f**k me, St Mirren fans are an angry bunch, and I've been to Clyde!

5/42: Dundee 2-3 Partick Thistle, 30/7, Championship. A really enjoyable game as Thistle nearly f**k up a three-goal lead. McMullan makes a big difference for Dundee in the second half, but inconsistent final product is probably why he's at this level.

4/42: Stirling Albion 3-0 Peterhead 23/7, League Cup. A hat-trick for Dale Carrick to round off a good League Cup showing for Stirling Albion. Peterhead are dreadful and look set for a tough season. They show nothing at all. I like that Stirling Albion describe their supporters on their seats. The one next to this said 'Outgoing and chatty part-timer'.

3/42: Motherwell 0-1 Sligo Rovers 21/7, Conference League Qualifier. I've always liked Fir Park. I like that none of it really fits together. It's got a nice, unique feel, and I always think it has a decent atmosphere even when far from full. Gloriously angry home support too. The East Stand supporters at Fir Park to a great Communal Point when they're outraged. A shame tonight. A good crowd and a decent atmosphere, but Motherwell are pish and deserve to lose.

2/42: Clyde 1-2 Bonnyrigg Rose 13/7, League Cup. The Bully Wee's Big Hamilton Comeback. Among the first games I was ever taken to see were some home games in Clyde's Second Division title-winning season of 92/93 at the old Douglas Park, and here we are again about three decades later. Bonnyrigg deserve to win. McGachie looks a good lower-league striker. Big and strong with a smart turn and causes Clyde loads of problems. Clyde lack a presence up front and look like they'd make a good fives team.

1/42: Albion Rovers 1-2 Cove Rangers 12/7, League Cup. A great night at the fitba. Cove clearly a better side, but Rovers are unlucky not to square it up in the second half. Hit the bar late on and force a lot of pressure. Highlights include standing next to Billy Stark (I'm absolutely sure) to watch the game and the performance of the fittest linesman I've ever seen. Usually they're wee, fat, and bald. This lad clearly has ambitions!

Hello all. I've decided this year to fulfill the lifelong ambition I've had for the past 6 months and go to see all 42 teams in the top 4 leagues play at home this season. My only requirement is that it's a competitive first-team game. None of this mince with complicated rules etc. This thread seems a good way to provide myself with a bit of accountability and avoid waking up on a rainy November morning and chucking it. I'm at 4/42 so far, having been at some League Cup and Europa Conference games. I'll fire some pictures up here for where I've been so far and as I go. So. Hello.
