Google streetview shows two smallish car parks at either end of the stadium and then a huge potholed wasteland attached to the one closest to the coast, which is presumably also for parking. There's also a sort of industrial area which you'd be able to park at unless it gets coned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it was particularly ricist tbh. I only heard it in reference to one particular gent' who was indeed incredibly fast. It always seemed like a backhanded compliment to me but maybe I was wrong. By today's standards I probably was. Anyway, fast black is still a phrase I hear regularly. Thumping win for the Hearts today. Edited July 21, 2018 by Governor Tarkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Robbo Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Parking outside the ground was free last time we played there. That said it took ages to get out afterwards- not often you see Methil gridlocked ? As for score - I’ll go for 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Happy hunting ground for me. I had my first snog in the ground in 1971(with an East Fife fan). Only problems was I foolishly told her what school I was at and she wrote to me. The teacher thought it would be amusing to read it out to the class.... The good old pre social media days!

Zlamal has spent the summer with the defence and spent the entire match at Cove talking the defence through it. Naismith will come in, probably for Burns. Keena or Currie will likely come in for MacLean. Not sure I'd change anything else. We want to be on the front foot from the off against Raith, which is what we did on Wednesday, without being able to add to the one goal. I think Naismith will come in for Maclean and smith possibly for Morrison. hopefully get right in about them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only applied to black cabs as there were no private hires back then. Like I said, probably no longer appropriate (if it ever was). Or a Joe?? Joe Baxi, a boxer way before my time.

Regarding RR v HMFC, I am working today so unfortunately won't be fast blacking or choo choo-ing or even drunkenly stoating my way to meth hell today. I'm really confused why a poster is travelling to kirkcaldy THEN getting an x58 though. After all, the x58 is an edinburgh-leven service Mon the JTs! Eight away goals or I'm psychotically melting my season card slowly and deliberately with a magnifying glass using the sun's rays. Because it takes an age on the bus.
