stulch Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I understand the mower has been oiled and trackers placed on their goalkeepers. However, is it me, or is the grass quite long in these third and fourth photos from the 1st August? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Me and ma pal had planned to get the train up for the game, enjoy the views with a few tins, check the game, and train back to Glesga on the same day but the b*****ds are on strike and now we're getting the bus. The good news this leaves us with a bit more time for a few pints there. Apart from all those wanky places on the high street catering to Cynthia and Torquil up for a stay in an AirBnB where's good for a few pints in the Fort? Claggan Park got a club house? If it does will they have remembered to order in some beer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally for food and beer I wouldn't look past the Black Isle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only nipped in for scran in FW and it was all a bit wanky. I presumed the pubs would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I suppose the Garrison and the Lime Tree are probably over priced. The pubs are all fine though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new chairman was talking about renovating the social club so who knows, last time I was there they didn't have any staff to run it, that was pre Covid though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) I like Sunny's bar in Fort William. It's a fairly basic boozer with cheap pints, horse racing on the telly and a pool table. Loads of shinty memorabilia up on the walls if you're into that kind of thing.

AsimButtHitsASix Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Regardless of pub choices I'm looking forward to the game. I always sorta presumed the North Caley was a real drop in quality compared to (most) of the Highland League but you can say the same for Fort William compared to the Highland League. Even then I doubt teams like Invergordon or Golspie would have been such a joke if they were a tier up. It's the only two teams who can get promoted (and there's no guarantee a licensed club will win the Midlands/North Region as well) so both will be looking to win the league and set a marker down early doors. It's a short season so a win either way could be huge. No idea of the quality of either side compared to last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
