DiegoDiego Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Had a great day out in Methil yesterday. Good attendance, good atmosphere, nice view over to Leven, a classic League 2 mixture of nice football and head-tennis, some pantomimery, and dreadful officiating. Really pleasing to see so many in the crowd with East Fife colours on and see so many faces from the pubs beforehand in the stand for the game. Definitely not the OF fans without the bus fare you see in some other parts of Scotland. Pies were horrific though. Managed a pretty comprehensive pub crawl of Methil, including heading to three that had shut down (a worrying ratio), and everyone was extremely nice and friendly. Really made to feel welcome. For a town with horrific SIMD stats, it's actually in pretty good nick with some nice architecture. Hopefully next time our clubs meet it won't be during lockdown. All the best for the seasons ahead. Edit: love how so many pubs had Tennent's on tap and also in cans. Not often you see that. Edited August 18 by DiegoDiego 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably talking about the much missed Bayview Bar being closed. Is the Purple Cat not still on the go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably talking about the much missed Bayview Bar being closed. Is the Purple Cat not still on the go? East Dock was great. Tower Bar was shut, as was the Empire and The Bayview (whose sign read "The Purple Cat at the Bayview Bar"). Had a minging pint I didn't finish at The Argyle. Also popped a bit out of the centre for some pool at The Kirkland and finally a pint at The Douglas Arms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Purple Cat was always dodgy as f**k, in an entertaining way. Good that you headed into Methil itself. The East Dock Bar is a tremendous boozer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future reference the Mac & Cheese pies at Bayview are magnificent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decor in the main bar was a mix of Rangers stuff and furniture my gran had in the 80's until you got in the corridor to the toilets where it was all framed Hollywood stars Edited August 18 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Great draw for us, as we usually beat them! Seriously though, should be a decent crowd, espcially with it being a Saturday & an unexpected cash injection. It'll be the first time I've made an effort for a Challenge cup tie since our trip to Dublin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Vaughan has recovered from four ACLs so hopefully that gives the laddie a bit of hope and inspiration in his recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he will get the same support that was given to him by the East FIfe fans? I did hope that would have been enough for him to come back to us as he's a really good player. He's still young so hopefully he can recover from this horrible injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddz89 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I hope Fash scores another belter tomorrow and proves my first game of the season comment as a load of keek! Going to be a tricky game tomorrow but confident we can get the 3 points. I also hope there is no goalkeeping blunders but always a risk with young goalie, who will make more great saves than he will mistakes! If the game is rubbish at least there is a brilliant pie to take our minds off it. Mon the Fife! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
