We were given option of playing at 8pm on Saturday.

Friday would mean players staff and supporters all needing to take time off work ( if their employer allows) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The SFA should absolutely not allow Fort William to play the game at a ground further from Clydebank than their own ground. If it has to be moved, if should be somewhere closer to Clydebank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What grounds do you suggest we have to do any more "fighting" than has already been done ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy groundhopper Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Should be a ruling that if your home park isnt available, either change the date OR is switched to the away clubs' ground. This isnt Mickey Mouse Football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 This cements Fort William's status as Scotland's premier tinpot outfit, and their shite should not be getting entertained at such close proximity to the date of the game. the venue should now be a straight switcheroo to Holmy with FW considering themselves lucky to not be booted out. Ben Nevis that ya teuchter b*****ds. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the chimp Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Huge sympathy to Clydebank here , they are being penalised for something that’s not in any way their fault , seen someone said earlier they could refuse and forfeit . A horrible idea but if they did it just may show this decision up for being the terrible one that it is. Not a Clydebank fan but really want them to thump Fort William heavily if it goes ahead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmparkheroes Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I sincerely hope that Fort William do not include the cost of hiring the ground as part of the deductible expenses before splitting the gate money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be funny if everyone just went up in buses and watched the game from outside the environs of the ground looks like its doable with lower walls around the park and cost them a fortune if they do have to hire the park and pay for refs etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 On the plus side, the ground in Golspie is about 300 yards away from a banging chippy to 'settle' the bellies before the drive back home. Hopefully they don't bump Golspie for the ground hire when they don't get the crowd they expected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would race down the A9 after departing the ferry to get to it before it closed. In my top 5 Chippy's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
