BEDNAR BOY Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 While the first team are away in Ireland those of us who can’t make it should pencil in this date for our first taste of Maroon for the new season. A Hearts XI take on Whitehill Welfare with a 1pm Kick off in what promises to be a good afternoon out at Ferguson Park and offers the chance to see our young stars in action hopefully with the added attraction of players returning from injury and new/ fringe players that don’t make the cut for the Ireland trip. Entry is by donation (£5 minimum) and all income is going towards their Floodlight Fund. Oh ! There is also a great wee bar / club open to all inside the ground. Let’s make some noise..the new season is almost here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The wee bar/club is named in tribute to the late Eddie Thomson. Eddie had a very good career with Hearts in the late 60s and early 70s, when we were stuttering along. He signed from Whitehill Welfare and was born in Rosewell. There is a collection of team jerseys of the clubs he played for over his career. He was part of a decent defence with Alan Anderson, Ian Sneddon, Peter Oliver, Dave Clunie to name a few. He had a good spell in Australia after he emigrated there, becoming the national team manager. Anyone going along to the game should raise a glass to Eddie in the bar. It is a nice thing that he is remembered by naming the bar after him. It’s very sad that he was taken so young by cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilstonjambo Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Folks just a reminder kick off for this game is at 1pm at Ferguson park in rosewell. The bar bar in the club room will be open from 11.30am so if your not heading to NI to watch us get yourself along to rosewell to support the young lads and Whitehill Welfare at the same time. a few pints, a pie and a game of football what could you ask for?

Footballfirst Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I suspect that the game will end up being mainly Whitehill's U20s against Hearts U18s, given the squad that is over in Ireland. Whitehill's first team are due to play in the Shaun Woodburn memorial cup the following day against Bonnyrigg Rose and Leith Athletic.

BM1874 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Went to see a white hill welfare game last season and was an enjoyable experience, had the car so couldn’t enjoy the bar, but it did look decent pie was decent and the game is for a good cause for them, so hopefully a decent turn out im hoping to get along but depends on childcare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a 20 minute walk to Ferguson Park from the terminus. The bus runs every 20 minutes to Polton Hall The 49 is the only bus that goes into Rosewell itself. It also runs every 20 minutes. If you are coming from Gracemount, then you can change from a 31 at Bonnyrigg or Polton Mill Edited July 2, 2019 by Footballfirst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEDNAR BOY Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Football at last. Lets get behind our team and get a bit of momentum going for the new season. Think it will be Andy Kirks squad and maybe some of the fringe players left at home. Michael Smith? For a good cause so let’s fill the place at a fiver a head.

OTT Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Why are they calling it a donation when its a minimum? Surely a donation is voluntary, and appreciated in a 'whatever you can spare' capacity?

Dayman Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 We played hutchy tonight. Michael Smith and euan Henderson featured and I think hearts won 4-0. Henderson scoring a good goal apparently.
