ATFC Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Getting to league grounds with yer Talbot's etc was once something of a rarity that was normally only available through a Junior semi or final. Nowadays we're all in the Senior Scottish Cup it has become a fairly regular occurrence, so how many of the 42 league grounds have you been to with your side? I'm guessing Clydebank fans are going to have the most ticked off but I was surprised at how many I'd been to with the Bot since the mid 80's. I'm counting 20 but I'm sure others will have been to a few more that I missed. Hearts Killie Motherwell St mirren (love street only) Ayr Falkirk (new one and brockville) Hamilton Livingston Partick Thistle Queens Park (Hampden and Lesser) Raith Rovers Arbroath Cove Kelty Stenhousemuir Bonnyrigg Clyde (new Douglas ground share) Edinburgh City Stirling Albion Stranraer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) well, it was useful having two teams to support: Meadowbank and Edinburgh City I never saw Meadowbank or City at Easter Road, Celtic Park or Ibrox (trip in 1985 was a bit before my time). Meadowbank borrowed Tynecastle for a game against Ayr so I saw them play there. I did Ross Country when they were Highland League. I missed City playing up at ICT. City played at the Falkirk Stadium against Queens Park. Saw Thistle at Broomfield but never saw either team at the Excelsior (I have been there though) I've done some of the grounds that are no longer there too but never went to Shawfield. Also those who have managed to get themselves relegated: Cowden, Brechin, Shire, Albion Rovers and Berwick.

Doubt many if any Clydebank fans will match that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Stuart. Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) Easter Road (Hibs) Hampden (Queens Park) Meadowbank (Edinburgh City) think that’s it.

I'm jelous of anyone that's been to the grounds that are no longer there and you seem to have been to a good few of them. Once they're gone they're gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver watch Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Any Talbot fans remember Recreation Park in Peterhead. It was the old ground in the Blue Toon which Buchanhaven Hearts used it to host us back in 1979. It was a bit of a blur due to the heavy drinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
