Tennant's Lager Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Good thread. 1 - Ayr - Has the lot, and only a short journey away 2 - Anywhere in Fife...will never be the same going through there now tho 3 - Arbroath - Like Ayr, but more mental & further away 4 - Dumfries - Excellent choice of pubs 5 - Brechin - The pub with a bog where you can piss on a TV set Trips up the A9 to Sneck & Dingwall are a great experience too, but quickly get tiresome.

Guest Rowan Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 1) Dingwall-----well technically it is an away game these days for me! 2) dumfries 3) Inverness-good derby days 4) Love Street------is it still an away day?! 5) Ayr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernard albrecht Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 1. Ayr - Train journey, pubs, on the park after Mcknight's goal, pubs, train journey home 2. Stranraer - See above ( minus on the park ) 3. Edinburgh - Train journey, choice of entertainment in the Grassmarket 4. Plastic Whistle - Easy to get to, choice of pubs 5. Glenavon 1995 - those who were there know what I mean A slight drink problem it would appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Visits to the 'homes' of the Highland league mobs are far from good away days, due to the crap facilities offered at the grounds to visitors, the demise of the Thistle Club and the mindset of officialdom (the Hamish McRefs and the officers of the law)up there...............

And giong on my experience at Love Street last season anything would be better. Seriously though-whats so bad about Vicky Park?

Been asking some of your fellow supporters for some time now as to just when you're gonnae build a decent away stand there....? Heard some plans to upgrade the place to SPL standard, any idea when they'd be taking place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rowan Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 We had plans last year but they were shelfed due to finances. I doubt that the will happen this season as we are trying to reduce the wage bill and claw back the debts slightly, hence the new chairman last season. If we get our house in order and we are seriously contending then they may reappear later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose if all else fails and you were to win the league at least you could share with ICT given what happened last year........

Even the terracing was £12.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
