Would leave us with a horrendous round trip on the day. 5 hours? I think they are open for business purposes only, currently every hotel in Troon and Prestwick have American military staying in them. But it would either be two busses (I think) for social distancing and the chance of no shower after the game or probably a two night hotel stay, with no room sharing. That'll be the guts of the 500k we are getting away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate there is a big chunk of luck but I am utterly honking at it. I actually think I should predict the worst on the Picks each week and it could be a wee bonus if we lose. However, I'm too big an optimistic for that. Think I’m in about 600th place really thought it would have been “easy” to win! Who’s actually giving out the money? The club or the app folk? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ain’t getting to Elgin on a bus in 4 hours, particularly at this time of year if the snow has arrived. Depends how we normally handle these horror away trips. I probably assume we stay over in a hotel, but maybe that’s a hangover from the moneybags Barr days. Must be a nightmare just now as not sure how you even arrange a pre match meal or get a shower after the match before 5 hours back down the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 We traveled to Inverness up and back same day on two busses, it's about 20 minutes extra to Elgin each way, they'll be on the busses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Elgin is a difficult place to get to even more so by bus. The last bit of raad from the A9 is narrow and difficult to get speed up. Would surely need a stop or two along they way adding on extra time.

On the one hand, yes. We kept the ball better in the middle of the park, especially second half and were much more solid defensively. However, we literally created nothing and that isn’t good enough - a large part of that is that we only had three attacking players on the pitch. May work better if our full backs were better going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
