Dreghorn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Clearly a warm welcome from Bathgate to their Cubhouse! Why not play the match at a ground with a social club to benefit the fans and one of our local junior clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar United have just had juvenile cup finals played at their ground over the weekend just passed. It is a fantastic set up , plenty car parking and a bar that welcomes all. Having just won the South league, it would have been a great compliment for a cup final to have been played there and not as much travelling for the teams concerned.

surely not! Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 2.30 koSent from my D6503 using Pie and Bovril mobile app Poor choice of time imo. Scotland v England kicking off at 5. Could have had this at 1.30 and ensured a bumper crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Can't understand why this is at Bathgate to be honest, 2 sets of clubs, fans etc having to trail along the M8 when it could've been held at locally. Surely Musselburgh, Nitten or Dunbar would have been better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 1 of the venues suggested here would have been ideal and saved a bit of travelling especially any traffic on the M8 going to Glasgow. A 2.00pm kick of may also have helped getting home after the match. Personally I would rather watch the East of Scotland final than the likely garbage being dished up at Hampden. As an aside ma dad told me that in 1963 The Big Rose beat Tranent in the East of Scotland Final 3 1 in the replay after a 3 3 draw on the Saturday both games played at Easter Road.( be a long time before Easter road in graced with another junior match). After The Big Rose had lost in the semi final to Glenafton after 3 games. C'mon the Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18yarder Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Whilst I agree that the final could have and should have been played further east bathgates ground and facilities are now first class testimony to the committee and groundsman at the Creamery .

wingnut Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Maybe the sponsors if there is any come fae that neck of the woods,aye it's a decent ground but as someone said could have easy found some ground closer tae home for both teams with a social club.

Belter1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Tranent are wanting an early kick off. There will be young kids on the bus not getting home till about 8pm. Not ideal. Hopefully common sense prevails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you don't need a social club to host a final? the host club will benefit from pie sales and raffle no doubt and the fans can head for the local pub. Would have made more sense to play the final at Newtongrange or Musselburgh but Creamery Park is a fantastic surface for football and a good set-up.
