Sweet Pete Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Spartans are a joke club so I hope we pump them about 40 nil, but we're at the mercy of Stevie Farrell's tombola team selection and negative tactics, so who knows. Probably be a draw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Normally an actual game of football would be a nice distraction from all the other shite going on but not when it comes to Dumbarton FC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 (edited) Hope everyone behaves themselves. That walk from the tunnel has Club Statement No. 5 written all over it. Edited March 14 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I was tempted to call the thread "Die Spartans, Die vs Dumbarton" but bottled it after recent events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm off to this game with a Sons supporting mate of mine from south of the border. The The Spartans' website isn't proving particularly useful: Quote Turnstiles will open at 11am. The four turnstiles at the Pilton Drive entrance will be used for Spartans fans (Red ticket). Hearts fans are to enter via the entrance on Pilton Avenue (Blue ticket). Quote Next Fixture Date: Saturday 6th January Opponent: Peterhead Venue: Balmoor Stadium Competition: SPFL 2 Kick off:3.00pm Any good post-match pub recommendations nearbyish with SkySports, not too rammed at that point, cheaper than Stockbridge and less Piltony than Pilton? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was there we were allowed into the Spartans social club/bar at the ground, quite a nice lounge with a shrine to Gordon Strachan. Sorry, can't help with local pubs, hope you have a good day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pots and kettles. -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs have had to pay to build stadiums and maintain them. Spartans get to play at a leisure centre and don't have the cost burden associated with owning and running a proper ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That obviously trumps the fact that Spartans are a nothing club with no fans playing at a sports centre. 20 minutes ago, Vanderbilt said: A ground with one stand and 3 sides with a 6 foot fence isn’t a proper ground! You begged a ground from Drumchapel Amateurs then begged a ground from Yoker Athletic and both times threw in "we'll fix it up" as a sweetener.

Yoker Athletic didn’t have a ground to “beg” for.Its owned by WDC but you already knew that. It’s a bit rich slagging off Spartans who are entrenched in their community when you support a club that is the polar opposite! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 23 minutes ago, Vanderbilt said: I think you need to check out what that club does in the community. Remember when you lot used to play at the Hibby in Duntocher? The amateur team leant the use of the ground in exchange for a tannoy as I recall. And as soon as the contact died, it was off on the road again for the Papers. I remember the pitch was so small Barry John Corr nearly scored from a kick out. Listen, I grew up in Clydebank, I saw my first ever game at Kilbowie (snuck in at half time as the ground wasn't full sided), but The Sons have done nothing to deserve any ire from any living Bankie. The two teams have either cooperated or avoided each other in recent memory. If the west of Scotland league forum is super boring and you come in here for some excitement then that's ok. I understand. I bought a season ticket for the Bankies during COVID just to help them out. Now stop pretending there's any rivalry between our two clubs and off you pop. There's a good chap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
