HIT THE CHANNEL Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Was buzzing with the tie… then googled their stadium! Absolutely gutted. Even if we get 300 tickets and we have a ballot for season ticket holders, it’s unlikely the folk you want to go with will get one as well! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be mental to hold it at their ground tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you had to hold it at your own ground these days if it’s a licensed ground? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they move it (as long as it’s still a Saturday!). But it would still be disappointing if it was cove (their ground is brutal as well for watching football) as I was hoping for a new ground! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Arbroath fan in peace. You got the draw I was desperate for. I live in Aberdeen and have been to Spain Park quite a few times as my kids play football there every so often, I also used to work round the corner so, unfortunately, I know the area quite well. It's a nice wee ground actually, although "wee" is the main problem. Allegedly it holds 850+ but I think that's generous. There's a tiny, off-centre, elevated stand that holds about 100 that has great views, and two very small covered terrace areas shoe-horned between the pitch and railway line (sound familiar?). Aside from that, I can't see where anymore than a few dozen other fans could stand. Another problem is the grounds location (still better than Cove) - it's on the border of sprawling industrial estates and Tory, one of Aberdeen's less salubrious areas. There are literally zero pubs or restaurants within walking distance (technically everywhere is within walking distance, but you know what I mean). It's right next to a Tesco, Halfords and Greggs so if a carry out, spare inner tube and a steak bake is your thing then you're sorted. ETA I forgot there’s also a costa and Lidl very near. Alternatively drink/eat in the city centre and a 20ish minute bus jouney is the best bet. If driving, there's plenty on-street parking as the industrial estates are empty at the weekend. Pretty jealous tbf. Edited November 30, 2021 by Tattie36 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Correct Embow , who's going to pay big bucks for the ground at Pratt Street with a railway line on one side and a narrow road on the other ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embow Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Someone might pay bucks but not big bucks for a wee housing development. No names no packdrill but my mind wanders to the housing development where the Seafield once stood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I can’t be arsed trying to find a thread for tonight on the cup forum, if there even is one? Mass changes apparently, which is good. We have some form of depth in the squad now so can ring the changes without losing too much quality. Don’t care about the score, just no injuries would do me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Same. The thought of being without a key player for Arbroath is way more concerning than being papped out the cup tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Tx is gonna be beside himself if, as I suspect, we see game time tonight for some of the younger lads. Couple of half time subs and a bit of squad rotation and he'll thrash himself into a foam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to see some play for Mitchell and Arnott, strange Bow wasn’t named to the bench, good enough result…now, let’s rotate this lineup for Saturday… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
