Do you ever go to first team games? I’ve always wondered. Your knowledge of youth football is outstanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to watch the youths develop and pick and choose a game on a Saturday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players were informed when Naismith was sacked. I suspect the announcement tonight about name change and a return to Meadowbank may shed more light on any link with Hibs. Believe Hibs want to use Meadowbank a lot more for Reserve/youth games as it’s much less travelling for players. They are not joining the LL so need to find clubs to loan out young players. Add it all together and it’s easy to see what’s being looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDJ87 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Don't live in Edinburgh so if I'm not at Tynecastle or at an away game, I sometimes go watch Syngenta as I coach one of their teams. Based in Grangemouth, promoted and they'll play a lot of Edinburgh teams next season. Edited June 16, 2022 by WDJ87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianjambo Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 When I'm over in Scotland - Hearts, home and away. Otherwise a lower or non-league game at a ground I have never been to. Will have lots of opportunities next season as a lot of Hearts games will be on the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lido Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 We went to see Tynecastle play Brora in the Scottish cup last season when Hearts were in Dingwall. Couple of pints before and after at the Kilted Pig, an enjoyable afternoon though Brora won 6-0 I think. Would do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too familiar with the standard of West Lothian teams so just assumed it would be a stroll for the hosts given the gap in divisions. How wrong I was. Armadale played really well and unlucky to lose on penalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All over twenty years ago now. Played for NM myself from 91 to 96. (18s and 21s). Well run club back then and my family kind of always had a link with them as my Dads side lived and grew up in Watson Crescent, and a couple of Uncles and my Dad played for them too, way back in the 40s. For a few years after I finished I still kept and eye on how they got on at under 21s but I couldn’t tell you how many teams they have now and what age groups they play in. Good memories though and a very well run place 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 None. Anything football in Edinburgh that isn't Heart of Midlothian, is Hibs, to me. F and C Edinburgh, Spartans, even Meadowbank Thistle, whiff(ed) of Hibby. Feck them. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
