  1. Yeah we knew about them.

    Someone who had worked out there brought it to the attention of our SMFC, and it made the rounds on here for a while. Indeed, we actually had the Ghana side's chairman and some first team players over here for a PotY night some years back. Not long after that a link was more formally established as we sent out a set of first team kits in the proper B&W stripes, as their club colours had been (shockingly) green & gold before! I note from the article that they've only been using B&W as an away kit though...and I don't think anyone had heard about the name change, which are both a tad disappointing.

    As for them being bottom of the league...iirc, they had only just been promoted to the top flight this season so it's perhaps no surprise.

    As for why the name was used - Ghana seems to have a lot of clubs which ape the name of famous sides in Europe, which may explain the lack of a M*rt*n there..... :wink:

    I think the name came about from a Paisley man who worked across there as a businessman and co-founded the club. He was St.Mirren fan

  2. Any ideas? I have a brand new laptop and need some songs, was going to use iTunes but they charge 79p per song. I know some of the programmes you get can knacker computers and slow them down with pop ups and stuff, so don't want any of that. Cheers :P

    its an american website, so everything is priced in dollars, but it works out at around £1 for most albums.

    I put a tenners worth in it a few month ago and hadn't been on it for a while. Went back at the end of last week to see how much money was in my account and they ended up giving me $10 free to spend.

  3. Arrived back home at around 9.30pm the nite after having an overnight stay in Newcastle:) Great weekend, but my only regret is missing the goal:( Was having a pint in the enclosure downstairs, thinking that Eff all would happen within the first 5 mins...and it did! Hear rave reviews of the goal though.

    From my personal opinion, i didn't think that we looked as if we got out of 1st gear, and that it looked merely like a fitness exercise for the players.

    The trialist , i thought done not too badly.He wasn't a standout, but he didn't do owt wrong imo over the 90.

    felt really concerned for dorman. It got to the stage where Andy Millen ran on to the park to check on him and the first aid wanks took about a day and a half to finally get to our player :angry:

    Overall, tremendous weekend. Really enjoyed meeting some familiar noggings in the boot n shoe beer garden:)

    Few pics from ame attached!:)

  4. Me and KRT will be going - looking forward to it .......... ive played a blinder........ i said to krt - fancy a nice weekend up north somewhere.....she agreed and before you know it we are stopping off at darlington - before heading towards a romantic retreat in the scottish borders

    what pub are the saints fans drinking in pre match?

    ally

    I posted on the Darlington forum for some suggestions on where is best to go pre-match, and was given the following details:

    Some cheap watering holes for you to visit in the town centre :

    The Tanners Hall : Skinnergate

    Frankies : Duke Street

    The William Stead : Crown Street

    There are a number of buses that take you up to the stadium, from the centre. £1.25p per journey. Get a taxi off the rank in the town. It'll cost about £6.

  5. Im heading to Newcastle for 10.30 am Saturday, and checking in to hotel. Dropping my gear there, then heading back to train station for the 40 minute train journey to Darlo. Hoping to be there for around lunchtime.

    After the game, may hang around for an hour or so, then its back to the Toon for a night on the lash:)

  6. Me and 4 pals are staying in one of the many Travelodges in the area. They're all pretty cheap and not a long taxi journey to Newcastle city centre.

    Stayed in the one @ Washington, just outside Newcastle,which was reasonably cheap. Was trying to do a google search on any little independent B&B's for a much more cheapness with failed result.

  7. Just had a look on the travelodge web-site and you can get a room nearby, starting at £29 for a room for 3 people. When i say nearby, i mean a reasonable taxi ride away, 4-6 miles.

    There's a few to choose from.

    The example i gave was staying at Washington services. If you're driving, that's on the way to Newcastle from Darlington anyway.

    Darlington's a decent place but you'd have a great night in the Toon. I only wish i could join some of you.

    Ive stayed at that travelodge in Washington while having nite out in Newcastle.

  8. Platform 1 being refurbished.

    I entered the competition to design their logo when they first opened. Got no reply from them, though the logo they currently use has a very very high striking resemblance to the one that I entered. :angry:

  9. Is there going to be any problems with the date and avaialability of Gus and Andy for the game since Rangers qualified for the final and our last game will now be on the 20th?
