Jan Vojáček Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 4 minutes ago, Monkey Tennis said: How come they're different? I've wondered that for years. Lifted from Wiki Quote Dumbarton comes from the Scottish Gaelic Dùn Breatainn meaning "fort of the Britons". Historically, the spelling of the county town and the county were not standardised. By the 18th century the names "County of Dunbarton" and "County of Dumbarton" were used interchangeably. Different county bodies used the two spellings: the Dunbarton County Constabulary were formed in 1857 by the Commissioners of Supply for the County of Dunbarton. Dumbartonshire County Council, set up under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, adopted the spelling "Dunbartonshire" by 1914, a fact recognised by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947. Sadly it's not in any way dramatic or exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedrick1 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Without even trying to pick stevies team for him ,I understand the concerns about thommo and his chance taking ratios . However the biggest sitter on Saturday fell to nade who lacked sharpness to stick it away or control it and stick it away. interesting to see where Gallagher figures next week as all who played on saturdabwould surely be a bit miffed to lose their place. i firmly believe this week is al about points over performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NM_1919 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think it is, don't get me wrong we've a decent record there but start of season when we went there it proved a tough game for us on a tighter park. I'm hoping the new boys in midfield can help open Dumbarton, as last game we struggled to create anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is 105x68 I believe, Palmerston is 112x73 - so it's a bit shorter, but not massively thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Just now, Monkey Tennis said: 'Tis a bit smaller then. Yup. That's not actually been used by Ray McKinnon though - so if you lose I'd like to think that it will be down to the length of the grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
