CALDERON Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, HIT THE CHANNEL said: Posted this in the cup forum but imagine their isn't too much traffic in there! So here it is again in case its helpful... For those interested I emailed Cove Rangers last night - they are apparently still constructing the new social club bar and may/may not have it in place and up and running for the league cup games. There will be a club update closer to the time. Also, the Wellington (half a mile up the road and on the bus line from Aberdeen station) is apparently a well-trodden haunt for those going to the football so this is a decent option B. Wellington is a family restaurant type place really as far as I know, it's the same chain that have one on Chapel level in Kdy. Think it's got a public bar tho. Cove haven't played in Cove for few years now and when they did the ground wasn't really near there nor did they ever get crowds over 200 or so dont imagine it was ever used too much football fans. There's a hotel just up the road from ground (Altens Hotel) which has a bar. Good shout is to go into Aberdeen and get a taxi up, its not that far and much better selection of pubs. Very easily accessible area by car though, don't really have to venture into Aberdeen at all. Edited July 5, 2018 by CALDERON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Anyway enjoyable game last night, braw evening for it. First half was good although the inevitable deluge of changes halted the momentum a wee bit. Really hope they find the volume down switch on the East Fife PA though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, big fees paid and wages paid for Paul Browne, Paul Bonar, Peter Duffield, Scott "mouth" Thomson, Kevin Twaddle, Craig McEwan and big wages being splashed on the likes of John Millar and Keith Wright. Complete madness which set the club back years. I still don't get it to this day why the board thought this was the way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we appointed a semi efficient manager who knows where we would be now, the 90's were a helleva rollercoaster ride but feck me it has been a crash landing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue was giving him all that money, then punting him after 3 league losses. We played Rangers then Celtic away, and had Danny Lennon scored his penalty, we wouldn’t have lost to Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
