City also seemed to have worn black and red socks for one season in the 1930s according to Historic Football Kits. personally I quite like the top. But it's a bit to close to Gala Fairydean Rovers. If they wanted a true heritage top they could have brought out a dugshite broon one in commemoration of the pitch at Fernieside... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinabear Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Sorry if this has been mentioned before but has there been any movement on the stadium? I notice meadowbank is due to finish in Autumn 2020. Is the plan still to move back there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any inside info on this but I'd be stunned to the point of needing medical assistance if Meadowbank was anywhere near ready for football by Autumn next year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've yapped on about it on here but there's never been anything official or even semi official from the club in regards to it. From a supporters point of view I think we're all just desperate to get away from Ainslie Park 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 unless City can come up with plans for a ground on top of a combined tourist hotel/student accommodation next to a tram stop with a cycle track through the middle that doubles as a f*cking Fringe venue there will be little interest from the Council. Ainslie Park would be ok if the grass bank behind the goal could be concreted (and a roof erected) but that's not going to happen any time soon. Spartans don't really need it and why should we pay for improvements to a ground that isn't really ours? Now, Spartans have a venue. We have a Scottish League place. A "heritage" kit has just been launched combining black and red... ....Edinburgh City Spartans FC anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jambo-rocker Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Have you guys considered the redevelopment going on at Raeburn Place? I mean it's not far from Ainslie anyway and you'd be getting a solid Stockbridge pub session instead of whatever it is you settle for right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always seemed like a reasonable shout but not sure how the Stockbridge locals would take to hoards (a generous description of our crowds I know) of football fans disrupting their Saturday afternoon antiquing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local opposition killed the project (not that it would have got anywhere anyway) which resulted in Porty becoming the buzzing tourist metropolis it is today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they're building at the moment is the replacement for the sports centre which is being knocked down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 You can see it’s some sort of sport centre being built - looks like a viewing area for a swimming pool or something currently being installed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Has there been an update to the plans at all? The video posted by the council last year of the proposed plans made it look like football was an afterthought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenkay Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Lets be honest, there's not much chance of football ever getting played at Meadowbank again. So what now for City? It would seem certain we would need to stay a bit longer at Ainslie Park until something suitable turns up. Probably all our eggs are in the "Mini Murrayfield" basket, I would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
