But there are other places in that vicinity. If traveling by train get off at Greenock central and it's about 2 mins from the station. 5 mins from Cappielow by car or bus. 15 mins if walking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Soup Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Tail o’ the bank is nearby but slightly closer to the ground if you’re planning on walking. A Wetherspoons or a Hungry Horse, you truly are spoiled. Or you could be brave and venture into the Norseman to see if Max will plonk a cauldron of his famous soup on the pool table. I’d actually rather Broadfoot starts than Baird. I’m not sure Stuparevic or Reynolds can effectively challenge for Baird’s aimless punts, so we could do with Broadfoot’s passing into midfield. The main counter argument would be that Baird is more secure defensively, and doesn’t make as many wild errors - well that went out the window last week. I’d have Boyes, Stuparevic and Garrity, if all available, in for Baird, Reynolds and McGinn. Should be a good occasion with all the anniversary stuff. Prediction is 1-0 Morton. Ref to give us some kind of bizarre favour, which we’re overdue, leading to a Stuparevic goal. Wilson MOTM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Yeah I’d be dropping Baird after last week as well. Brainless decision to go and foul the Ayr player. I’d stick Stuperavic on and try get an hour out him, he’ll be better than Reynolds regardless of his fitness levels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly close but I had a bar lunch at the Albany last time out, pretty decent. Coast out at Langbank on the road from Glasgow was a place I like the look of but as yet have never quite managed yo get to, it looks good and easy enough to pop in then continue along to Port Glasgow/Greenock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for cheaper options I'd say the Hungry Horse or James Watt is your best bet. If driving through there's also the Waterwheel in port Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 It's been years since I last bought a programme, but if this is the cover I am 100% buying it. Probably a forlorn hope as I reckon Imrie is set on the current approach, but I'm still in favour of bringing Gillespie in for McGinn to push Lyall forward and give the midfield a bit more structure. I don't think it follows that fewer attacking players = less attacking threat, especially when you see how little we've created in open play as it is, and bringing another holding player in could let the attacking players have more focus on creativity rather than needing to take turns dropping in beside Wilson, with Lyall ending up playing as a deep-lying playmaker and the midfield as a whole descending into a shapeless mess. Will be good to see what difference Stuparević makes from the start and a real centre forward addresses the most glaring problem in the team, but it's not been the only one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. So many times we've pulled a bigger crowd than normal and fell flat, 0-2 Gretna & 0-3 Dumbarton at Cappielow spring to mind. Recall also the big announcement when we named the Stand after Allan McGraw - then Arbroath promptly helped themselves to a 3-0 win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william somerville Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 My first Rovers game was in 1963 at Starks against a high flying Morton side with a certain Allam McGraw playing for them. They won 3-0 with Allan McGraw getting one. 61 years ago and still alive and kicking. Will not be there today as my wife and I are celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and going to Edinburgh for a meal tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
