HIT THE CHANNEL Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Really looking forward to next week. Never been down to see us play at Stair Park and an excellent train trip down from Glasgow! Think our train gets in at 1ish - Stranraer (or in the know) Rovers fans, where is the best place to drink before the game (ideally with the football on)? Also think we will get the 7pm train back so would appreciate any advice on where to grab some food (nothing fancy!) and a beer after the game too! Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car54wherareyou Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I would head for the Fitba bar,just behind Tesco’s, good quality pictures on the t vs,good beer at reasonable prices and a brisk 10 minute walk from Stair Pk,where ever you go enjoy your day,not too much though.

Cheers in advance As mentioned Fitba Bar is decent these days. Handy for both the train station and the ground. Think it's one of the cheapest bars in the town too. Next door is the Custom House for bar meals. It's your typical Belhaven pub. Nothing spectacular but fills a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car54wherareyou Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The blues have been a wee bit hit or miss this season but apart from a battering from the smokies,our home form has been pretty good.I think this will be a hard test for Stranraer but League 1 is throwing up some strange scores recently and the wee rovers beating RR was one of them and that gives us some hope.Our defeat at Starks Park earlier in the season was pretty emphatic but we have definitely improved since then.Alloa provided little threat at Stair Pk last Saturday,could be a cracker.

Raithie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 After losing to Albion Rovers it was great to see us get wins against St Mirren and Arbroath. Hopefully points to the Albion Rovers game being a one off. Our defence has been our main worry for a while now but after the 1st quarter we've only conceded 5 goals thus far. Thankfully we've been able to get Robertson back into midfield and we're still looking very good going forward. We seem to be quite happy to let the opposition have a lot of the ball, as had been seen by teams having quite a bit of possession but this in turn is causing teams to be blowing out their arses and the added benefit of us being full time has seen us look very good when games open up and we get a breakaway. Performances haven't been overly great but we're winning games whilst not being at full strength and I'll happily take winning ugly if it gets us out the league.

kvz2000 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If ( big if ) we can play at our best then we will give Raith a run for their money , however as said before we have been a bit hit and miss so just as likely we could lose . I’ll hedge my bets and go for a score draw . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Really looking forward to Saturday, train from Glasgow at 10:30am. Never been to Stair Park either, so 1 to tick off the list. How’s the pitch with the wild weather the last few days? Or has Stranraer been ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Work is a mare this week. Is it not fucking saturday morning yet so I can start filling my body with greasy food, copious amounts of alcohol and travel hundred of miles to watch some men kick a ball (rather poorly at times) about some grass? I love Saturdays As for the game I wouldn't be surprised if the same team starts as did last week. I think like most games this season scoring the first goal is crucial. We get it and I would expect us to win the game. Stranraer get it and it could be a sticky afternoon as trying to break a team down with something to hold on to can be a nightmare. Hoping we get the first goal I will go for 0-2 or 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, to follow up on this, forecast looks horrific for Saturday. Does the park drain well or if it is heavy from midnight until kick off (as currently predicted) is the game fucked?

Scary Bear Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I'm definitely ticking Stranraer off the list this season but I'm keeping my powder dry for the game in April. With a bit of luck we'll still be going for the league then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Heavy bumpy park due to too many games on it already. Every week first team is away. South team has been on it barring the odd week since end of june.. groundsman can only do so much with the limited resources. Should drain ok barring a deluge though.

Can you/some other Stranraer fan keep this thread up to date Friday/Friday night/Saturday morning regarding the weather and the likely outcome of the game being potentially postponed or going ahead. According to the BBC Weather Page, it’s pouring down Friday late afternoon onwards straight through until the Saturday evening. Long journey from Kirkcaldy to have it called off en route. Would be very much appreciated. I really hope it does go ahead, really looking forward to the day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Aye echo the above comment! I have mentally prepared myself that it will be off - forecast looks horrrrrrrrrrrrrific!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636719 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Missed every game since Ayr since getting Appendicitis and had no intention going to this at all, not overly fussed if called off. Would be good to keep momentum up I guess though with Ayr away looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Sandy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Light rain from tonight until this time tomorrow, and then heavy rain from then until Saturday!! If correct, after 24 hours of heavy rain, would seem unlikely game might not go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
