Guest JTS98 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 16 hours ago, JTS98 said: I was at Hamilton v Thistle at Cliftonhill years ago, maybe 1999? Pretty sure it was an early season cup tie, League Cup or Challenge Cup. Remarkably, I just found my ticket stub from this game in my flat. The ticket stub tells me it was a Bell's First Division match on the 2nd of August 1997. A quick Google search tells me it was a 1-1 draw. This makes sense as I'd thought it had been 1-1 but couldn't remember a penalty shoot out or extra time. The two sides met at the same venue ten days later in the Challenge Cup, with the Accies winning 2-1, but I wasn't at that game. There you go. Just in case any mentalist was in any way interested.

Marshmallo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Still to watch Falkirk at Arbroath (went to Arbroath vs Elgin when our game vs Dundee got postponed a couple of years ago) East Fife Forfar Stranraer Edinburgh City Peterhead Annan Elgin Berwick So either 8 I've not visited and 9 where I've yet to see Falkirk. Slightly concerned I'll get a chance to shorten the list a fair bit over the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Given the ground sharing that went on over the last 25 years as clubs moved/were kicked out of old grounds I had a wee thought about seeing teams play "home" games away from home: I'm sure my first visit to Firhill was to see Clyde who were playing there at the time! I saw Meadowbank play Ayr at Tynecastle when the Commonwealth Stadium was unavailable and they also played "home" games against Hearts at Brockville and Hibs at Starks Park in the League Cup. I'm sure Berwick also played a game at Meadowbank when the roof was taken off the Shielfield Stand. I also saw Celtic play Meadowbank at Hampden in the Scottish Cup. I've seen Clydebank play Queen of the South at Boghead and Gretna's last ever game against Hearts at Fir Park. Edinburgh City have also borrowed Netherdale, City Park (which was their original ground), Pennypit, Riccarton and Ainslie Park (before moving there) on occasion. I've seen the Shire play at Stenhousemuir and the Falkirk Stadium and Dunbar United at the Dunbar Grammar School. Of clubs sharing grounds- Edinburgh City and Tollcross United at Fernieside, Edinburgh City and Spartans at Ainslie Park, Spartans and Craigroyston at City Park and Rossvale and Petershill at Petershill Park.Seen dumbarton play a 'home' game at five different groundsAlso seen us play in every ground except Edinburgh City (we havnt played them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamski Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I’ve done the lot. East End Park was my final one to cross off but did that in 2008 when Queens played there. I’m still at the full set despite ground changes, etc, although I don’t think I’d go just for the sake of list-ticking now. Ainslie Park was my most recent - Ed City v Clyde last Spring with a Clyde-supporting mate promising a day out in Edinburgh around the game.

I've only counted grounds like Rugby Park, Parkhead, Easter Rd, Tynecastle & Hampden once despite being in them all standing on terracing and also when they have been completely redeveloped as all seater grounds. I see them as re-builds. The question is Wembley a re-build or a completely new ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I recall they were working on it over the summer and it wasn't completed in time for the start of the season. Our third league cup game was at Boghead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
