[F.T.W]

how many fans will u be bringing to new douglas? i was thinking possibly 500-700 ?

[vikingTON]

There's a lot of defeatists who might not go - happened for the dunfermline game.
I dunno, its quite close: 500-700 may be correct, although I'd err on the 500 side of it.

Should be a really good game but no offence to Morton but if we play like we did on Saturday then we will wipe the floor with you but I'm sure you won't be as poor as Dunfermline. I'm going to go for the same result as we had at Cappielow

2-0 Accies

Does that include a pen?

[stuart.]

I have a funny feeling we will be pretty good on that pitch they have there, not sure why, I just do.

[zutons]

Is this the pitch that's an advantage to the home team?

[stuart.]

So it has been claimed.

[AyrshireTon]

Just don't beat us 6-1 this time.

[GreenOak_Ton]

We've some decent ball players in McAllister,Stevenson,Millar and Gardyne.The pitch might just suit their style of play.We'll see come saturday.All the pressure on the Accies now for every game, so i'll be brave and predict a very tight match that could go either way.

Looking forward to this game. Will be my first away game of the season, for various reasons.

Hamilton are the best team I've seen so far, so hoping for a keen contest, if nothing else.

As AT said, just don't pump us 6-1 again!

I dont think there is alot of pressure on us to be honest, we have played like and been a confident and care-free team for most part of the opening quarter, what have we got to lose? Everyone is waiting for "the bubble to burst" If we got something up at Perth then some of the "we are undefeated" pressure might have still been on us. Outwith our own support not many folk on here have given us any chance of promotion, not even after thrashing the mighty pars (the team who apparently gave Dundee their biggest test so far this season.)

All credit to Accies, they are the team to beat........bring on the ton!!!!!

[hoody]

morton to win this game by 2 goals B)

[Marc]

3-2 to Morton

[Jydo]

3-0 to Acads and if we water one particular corner of the turf at HT we might get a fourth.

[Owsley]

Acads!!! Grrrrrrrrrr.

[Dunning1874]

Hoping we can fluke a result here, as we did that 2nd Division season when we were outplayed at NDP for 90 minutes and won 2 - 1 with a late winner.
No doubt that Hamilton are a better team, so we'll need to have a great tactical set up to take something from this one.

[hoody]

also hoping none of our supporters cars get its window put in again by the local neds

[Grant228]

2-1 morton

[IainMorton]

I'll be glad if we get a point from this game TBH.

Funny, we had a bus stoned by local neds after the 3-2 defeat at ODP (our last ever game there).

[academical]

No cocky predictions of our margin of victory, but Accies should win this one. Any other result would be quite a surprise.

I've heard of a few stories like this in recent seasons, last term the Livingston supporters bus also got stoned by some idiots.

You will find that 99.9% of the Accies fans are more than welcoming and hospitable, also if it's any consolation there is a bigger police presence at our games now than there was in the Second Division, especially in light of trouble in recent weeks.

Thats a fukking joke. Did it happen during the game? I ask as i normally park in the council car park where a lot of away fans park. I've often thought that its pretty obvious every car in that car park is left unattended from 3pm until 5pm. Makes the cars an easy target for theives/vandals.

[RosscoTon]

Obviously not real Accies fans. The Accies fans who came to Cappielow were fantastic, before and after the game. Pity we were shite that day.

Is this surface similar to the one at Stenny? We played ok pre season there, so if it's the same, it may well be suited to the more skillful players.
