I would guess the boundary wall and the steps would be the main problem. As HJ has pointed out above you have brought in a fair chunk in the last few years. Even if they had fixed part of the far side it would have been a start. Used to get a good view from over there back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Due to the demand to watch this game , rovers home games in the league attract a couple of hundred fans , this game will attract thousands . Celtic have thousands of fans wanting to go to this game , The wee ground could not cope with the demand . simple really . Nonsense, for the game last year where we played you and we're expecting to win the league the tickets for the Dunfermline end could've numbered 2000,easily. As it is it wasn't a problem. Take the existing capacity of cliftonhill, half it. Give the proceeds from those tickets to Rovers, give the other tickets and all proceeds to the other team. From the proceeds Rovers have from the tickets make them pay the necessary stadium rental and security costs of Airdrie, see how long it then takes for them to get the finger out and move it back to cliftonhill, bunch of chancing cheating scumbags. Cowdenbeath get a worse time than most for the state of their stadium but I don't remember them switching games against the old firm. If a team isn't capable of hosting a team from the league at there own stadium they should be chucked from the leagues or told to permanently share with another team, simples.

Imagine posting about a Scottish football match on a forum for Scottish football. Unless we're all supposed to stick exclusively to threads involving our own teams? Someone tell Div, so he can disband this place and we can all f**k off back to our own club's forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Entire Celtic allocation sold out after one day on sale to ST holders which is great for Albion Rovers financialy although, as one or two have alluded to on here it would be nice if they used the £££ to make neccesary ground improvements to Cliftonhill so they can play future fixtures like this there.

Flybhoy Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Would I be right in thinking since Airdrie dont own their ground, they rent it on matchdays that will make the square root of hee haw, instead any fee or % gate receipts will go to some mob probably based in England or wherever who.own the stadium?

Yoda8 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Could the Rovers be the team to stop Rodgers treble?? might be wrong on this but aren't rovers unbeaten at Airdrie under current manager. i know Airdrie haven't beat them but not quite so sure about when Queens Park hosted them.
