Nugent4nil Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The names might not be well known but I wonder how many junior supporters have met this pair of gentleman during the season to date? To quickly sum them up they are a couple chancers, sorry gents, who love a wander and a drink so they are just about finished their fourth book this one a ground hopping experiance of junior football with a difference, the difference is they dont actually watch the games! A rucksack with sandwiches two bus passed a note book camera and a great attitude and they are off. Ive had the pleasure of their company twice this season, once at Dunterlie and secondly last Saturday at Clydebank......... need to go need to rush one said, why whats up, OH the fitbaws about to start canny be hanging around for that! So has anyone bumped into these two guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So has anyone bumped into these two guys? Yup they were at Bellsdale before our recent home game ( I think it was arthurlie in the league). They were a cracking pair of guys who were there to promote their new book and hear old fashioned junior stories from our committee and fans. They were loving the pre match drink so much and never hid the fact that this is what they love to do while ground hopping and that they don't stay to watch the games, instead they head to a few grounds of local proximity each Saturday and engage in stories with the locals and then they retire to the pubs. They were good guys and their new book is close to completion and I think they've also got another good few books in circulation . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelesboots Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I had the pleasure of meeting these two on Saturday when I was in The Boundary Bar just before our match with the Bankies. A couple of real characters. Im halfway through their first book and have already downloaded their 2nd and 3rd. Funny guys. They are the kind of people you could sit and listen to for hours. John is originally from Govan and Craig is originally from Auchinleck but they both stay in East Kilbride now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest svejk Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Anyone with a kindle can read the four books for free by signing up to the free 30 day trial of the kindle unlimited service from the tax averse retail giant. And then cancelling within the 30 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRoyGuy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thought this was a couple of new arthurlie signings for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrellburn Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We had a visit recently from a chap by name of Mike Bayley, he is doing a book on the 100 grounds to visit around Britain as voted for online by the public. They range from top English Premier division down through the lower leagues, and some in Wales and Scotland also. He did Duncansfield on the Saturday and was visiting Vale of leven on the Sunday before returning to his home in Essex. He plans to visit Fort William in the new year. I took him over to see Adamslie after our game on the Saturday although it will not feature in the book. He is planning to publish sometime next year. Watch this space.
