lost in leith Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 An interesting tie tomorrow at Meadowbank (3.00 kick off). Top of the Lowland League against top of the Highland League, so could be a preview of the end of season play-off. ?8 admission makes it worth a look IMHO.

I think that is the tie of the round. Prices are a bit steep for a Junior side though, at ?12 when they normally charge half of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do agree about the prices, but they could realistically get a few thousand and that would pay the bills for a while. Looking forward to it.

No idea how many the ground at Linlithgow holds - is this not an all ticket game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt 1874 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Not all ticket which I also thought was strange and I'm not sure how much the ground holds but I think maybe 3,000 could be possible for tomorrow. Great ground for a junior team. Mon the Rosey Posey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given resources that's probably a fair shout but I assume Brora are travelling down on the day so that could be a factor. City are 7-2 with Paddy Power which is tempting!

City are 7-2 with Paddy Power which is tempting! I'll be taking my usual place at Meadowbank tomorrow as well. City's boss said in today's EEN, that Brora have a budget and players to match the 1st Division (though I'm unsure if he means the Championship). It'll be an interesting match. Not many expected City to beat Bampot, but they did. Really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City are 7-2 with Paddy Power which is tempting! I know they're not on big wages, but if I was the players I'd be looking at a 20 quid a night hotel. Yeh it's 20 quid, but if it helps them prepare better, and it gets them into the next round where they get a big away tie, then it's worth it.

Forza Cuore Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Rose were well on top in the first half, could've been a couple ahead but for decent saves.

Jambo Ell Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Went to the Spartans V Clyde game which Spartans won 2-0. Spartans were the better team in my opinion although I didn't think there was too much between the two teams. Barry Ferguson was getting some grief from a Clyde fan behind the dugout. He began to give him some verbals back by the looks of it and was sent to the "stand" as a result. (This side of the pitch doesn't have a stand so he was standing watching the game with the rest of the punters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt 1874 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Clum was absolute pony Haha yes he was. The Rose were well on top and made Raith Rovers look garbage for the most part. Rose should easily been 2 or 3 up at half time. Quite incredible to think that Rovers are in the same league as us on that performance. Despite the result, great performance by the rose and a huge crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Disappointed that Edinburgh City didnt get at least a replay today. Unfortunately, they had to play against the referee as well this afternoon. Brora dived all over the shop and got away with murder, while the slightest indiscretion the other way, was duly whistled. It was a disgraceful display from the official, who is a regular Highland League ref. While Brora are the moneybags team of the lower/non leagues, I dont think there was a massive gulf in class that the money would suggest. Good crowd today. Brora's fans were a damn sight more friendly than the Auchinleck Bampot lot. The only downside was that they brought bagpipes in with them.
