Mattmc Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Threave vs Stranraer being changed to the Friday night is probably beneficial to both teams. Would guess we’ll now pick up a few extra spectators who will be elsewhere on the Saturday. Maybe no suit the players quite as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d go with Inverurie vs North End On 01/10/2024 at 17:23, welshbairn said: Maybe a bit niche but Locos v North End would be an interesting indicator of how the top Midland sides might do in the Highland League. On 01/10/2024 at 19:25, Sir Tarmo said: Inverurie vs North End would be an excellent game to have on. North End are Midlands champions, just won 25-0 and smoked Tranent in the last round. And Locos are doing well this season, despite their relatively poor Scottish Cup match. There’s a good story in that game. On 01/10/2024 at 19:29, invergowrie arab said: I can't see Lochee doing much against Peterhead but there is a story there with Dougie Cameron the Lochee manager playing over 100 games for Peterhead. Bobby Linn might also ping one in from 40 yards.

welshbairn Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 No complaints about the geographical pick, hope the quality encourages the broadcaster to venture away from the central belt again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Stranraer may not be as close to Castle Douglas as some of the central belters think but a rare Gallovidian derby on a Friday night sounds braw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threave Rovers v Stranraer has a certain "local" appeal but it's hardly a derby, Motherwell and Raith Rovers are closer together than these two, and it's surely going to be one-sided anyway. Stirling Albion must have too much for Bo'ness Athletic, but a shock isn't impossible here. And from a strictly footballing point of view, it's surely EK v Bonnyrigg. Was up at locos for the first time back the start of September for their game against forres Mechanics. Good set up and plenty bars on route and post match. If it wasn’t the weekend of my sons birthday is definitely headed up to this one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much depends on which Keith shows up, they've beaten promotion contenders Brora away this season but also got pumped 0-4 at home to lowly Lossiemouth. Bankies will be big favourites though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
