HibeeJibee Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Next year's bonanza focuses on Perthshire bookended by West Lothian and capped by trip to deepest Clackmannanshire. Perhaps unlikely to match this year's record-breaking figures but hopefully another success. Edited July 11, 2023 by HibeeJibee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzler Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Thankfully the Sauchie game is the latest one, as that would be pandemonium trying to get parked during the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed ye look forward to a Saturday, a new ground,new acquaintances and new bar(s) then ye get hit wi Sunday church times. Good enough incomes for the home sides but can certainly be an inconvenience for the fans that turn up week in week oot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If clubs could opt out the whole arrangement would instantly break down anyway. Everybody loves to be the host and stage a big spectacle match plus rake it in by £ thousands; obviously there needs to be an away team for it to happen, so they experience a minor inconvenience (for which they receive couple of £ hundred these days mandated by league)... Gala had to get to Whitehill for 11am on a Saturday back in 2016 and it put 200+ on the crowd.Preston alone have been a visitor more than twice - and, leaving aside a couple of oddities like Lochmaben, among those who have visited everybody eligible to host has done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Looking forward to this Saturday/Sunday (I’m skipping Friday night). Kicking off Saturday with a stravaigin around the general area of Dunkeld and its silvery Tay. Having prayed for the energy to sustain me through four games of fitba at the cathedral, I will set my course for Luncarty. Three new grounds for me from the five games, and a first visit to Whitburn in something like 20-years. Only Jeanfield will be something approaching familiar. Will be looking forward to being thoroughly head-counted by nearly everyone else there, and I will especially enjoy being counted by the people who bring the wee clicker things and walk round the pitch clicking away to their hearts content. (I remember the days when getting a click on a Saturday meant something different entirely.) See you at Kiosk Kev’s, if you’re going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Given locations - plus some hosts carrying 'modest' core supports - I doubt 2024 will approach 2023's records, but hopefully we see some good crowds.

tamthebam Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 There might be a decent-ish crowd at Armadale tomorrow. They can usually get folk out and they play quite nice football too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
