The Mantis Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No mate, although I do the odd article for a few magazines. Work (my real job) doesn't really allow me the time to write much these days. I see you're in Camelon. I went by there last week and took some photos through the gate. I knew I hadn't been at a game there for a while but I dug out some old photos and realised you could see over the wall from the canal the last time I was there, but there are huge trees now Checked up and it was May 1994... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either when the midweek games start or next season. Supporting ICT and Whitehill doesn't leave many free slots. Will definitely PM you if I'm going. I saw the cup final at Bathgate last year v Sauchie and that Junior Cup game v Thorniewood at Ravenscraig a while back with Rab B Nesbit who's a 200 games a season man. Cheers for the comments.

Can' quite match his 200 games a season, but I'm approaching 100 this season and can't wait for the midweek juniors to kick in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I thought Juniors refused to play matches under the floodlights Their season goes on after the others have finished, usually a backlog too.

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Scotland - all the current SPFL Premier, Championship, League One and Two ones except for Annan's Galabank, and have also been to Broomfield, New Kilbowie, Boghead, the original Bayview, Firs Park, Brockville, the original Douglas Park, and Meadowbank. Also been to a few but not many Junior and Highland League grounds, particularly Kelty, Huntly, Clach and Nairn County. England - Emirates, Reebok/Macron, Etihad, Fratton Park, Majedski, St Mary's and Wembley, and I also was able to see Arsenal play at Highbury in their last season there. Also went to an Eastleigh game before they got their big investment to get up the leagues. Others - Millennium Stadium, Cardiff; Amsterdam ArenA, Amsterdam; Alianz Arena, Olympiastadion, both Munich; Westfallenstadion/Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund; Teofilo Patini, Castel di Sangro and Marc Antonio Bentegodi, Verona. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Feck, how could I forget the San Siro? It was the first foreign stadium I'd visited (for Milan v Messina; Pirlo scored two cracking free kicks) and somewhere I'd wanted to go to since the 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
