Arbroath - Montrose is a feisty derby and they haven't met in the league for a few years, so that would definitely be my pick for the 29th. A good ground as well, that I think most people like. Lunan Bay is a nice camping spot a bit North of Arbroath. Unless you want to go to a ground specifically with the intent of the worst football fan experience ever, avoid FC Edinburgh. The ground is an absolute joke, though I did have a funny moment there last year when I inadvertently walked into the referee's changing room at 2.55 when looking for the toilets! Maybe splitting it would be a good idea. If you do go with Arbroath and Dundee, spending the first part in the West might be a good option. Queen of the South and Kilmarnock could be a good pairing with two very different grounds. Cheers for that. I've already been to Arbroath, and am looking to tick a few more off. We'll probably spend the whole day in Edinburgh, so I don't mind if the ground is not the best! Which of the ones I'm considering on the Saturday would you go for? "Falkirk, Patrick Thistlei, Livingston, Bonnyrigg Rose, Abion Rovers or Queens Park (at lesser Hampden)" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Think I'll go to Livi on the 29th. Less of a trek. Tried to go there a few years ago and ended up seeing them play at Linlithgow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be shocked by the nonsensical prices from some of these chancers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 We need a campaign to have standardised, unique abbreviations for each club on score graphics. Viaplay will use “DUN” for three different teams this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I'd say the opposite, it only needs to be context specific, rather than someone like Dunfermline having to be given some sort of pathetic DNF or something like that when they're playing Raith Rovers, just because two other teams who aren't playing in the same match and are thus irrelevant to the current broadcast, share the same starting letters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Just now, AyrshireTon said: Except that they won’t now. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean “immediately”. They’ll be looking for somewhere to offload the rights and/or entire business, but things should keep going for now. It wouldn’t surprise me if Premier buy back the UK operation for a fraction of what they sold it for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah, reading from this they will still show the games as they look for a buyer for their UK business. Someone will buy it and rebound it just like what happened to Premier Sport. Since this year's fees have been paid, the games and sponsorship will continue until a buyer completes a takeover deal. Also means all the scheduled VIAPLAY games will remain as they are right now. Will be a bit awkward though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnseytheclaret Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Sorry to read that! I can confirm that me and my kids will be at the following games: Forfar vs Arbroath Edinburgh vs Ross County (Guaranteed to be 0-0 after last nights 3-5 match!) Brechin vs Formartine Dundee vs Inverness So, keep an eye out for random Burnley shirts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a wide range of businesses out there with money to piss on a product that has been associated with multiple failures/retrenchments for its owners over the past 20-odd years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I seem to remember that the reason that that clubs that qualified for European competition were exempt from the group stage because they clashed with preliminary rounds. What’s the reason now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
