Good shout, the possibility of near the existing EK Thistle Show Park in the village was explored. Knocked back by Roads Dept, really no room , or as you say anywhere else near Town Centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Debenhams has gone bust they should make an indoor stadium there. No more games called off in winter and a central location. Win win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The showpark (ek thistles home ground) is right in the heart of the village. Ideal location for pubs, restraunts, social clubs etc. There were serious talks about ekfc redeveloping and moving there before they built kpark. Plans and everything were in place. But it never happened for a variety of reasons. But it would have been the perfect spot. Would have been a far better match day experience with better transport link ups. But what do i know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct John, but as I said kibosh by Council Roads Dept. Their just isn't any room to expand roads around area to cope with a stadium, nature of the beast in the village as you know. Anyway here's hoping the Community Stadium at last gets green light . Agree not ideal location, but sure will be well worth the bother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Minertaur Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Bit off topic guys but I'm taking part in the Banchory Beast Race (10KM obstacle course) next month and I'm funding raising for Charlie House and for my disabled nephew. Sitting just shy of 40% of my target so would greatly appreciate if anybody has a spare fiver they can chuck in then I'd be forever grateful! Link Big game this weekend. As much as we've a great positive feel around the club it would be pretty sad to be sitting potentially 13 points off top after just 8 games! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berwick-the-unbeatable Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The Blue Brazil must fancy themselves for Saturday, surely?

That reduces the confidence levels. We shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY 1 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Missing the game my first game missed in over a year as I'm in Hong Kong. Any chance any1 going to game wants to video call me and film the whole game.... Big game and the boys will look to bounce back after last week's defeat. Play on front foot and with same intensity and quality this should mean we are in with a good shout of getting the 3 points. Stopping bucks from getting chances is the key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never predict anything in this league. We produced some unexpected results last season with a poor team. I think game will go either way tomorrow and is close to call. With fit squad, we would have had a strong chance but missing a few and others with knocks. Really need a change of luck soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only unexpected ones I can think of from last season were winning 1-0! at EK and perhaps the 0-0 at home to Tranent given they were top I think at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
