Dons_1988 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Given our shite kick off time on Sunday I've got a ticket for this. Mon the Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I've been eyeing up Falkirk win & over 2.5 goals @ 13/10. Given that Rangers only beat Fraserburgh 3-0 and Cove are significantly better why do we think those are good odds... Edited to say that on Bet365 the most favoured correct score is 1-1....

Locos has an active social club open throughout the week. The bar has been allocated to Falkirk fans, with the lounge room for Cove. 2) Edwards, on the roundabout in the town centre. Multiple TVs showing the lunchtime game. But no real ale nowadays. A meat market later on, it even has a separate nightclub upstairs. 3) Wetherspoons - The Gordon Highlander. Other end of West High Street. Best place for real ale, but will be a kindergarten pre-match - packed with families eating cheaply. TV silently on a news channel won't be showing sport. 4) Black Bull, up North Street from the 'spoons. Darts is king here. The only other place in town with real ale. Seems like a way out of the centre, but is actually close to the ground - nip down the side street and you come out right by it. All-ticket, each club getting a specific allocation. Falkirk have been given the biggest part of the ground - the side closest to the town centre, all standing stepped terracing, mostly covered. Cove have got the smaller far side - just flat standing and a narrow seated stand. As of Wednesday, Falkirk have sold 600 with more left. Cove have been selling them in the local pub in Cove, at their sponsor's offices in Aberdeen, and will start sales in Inverurie 7pm to 8pm on Thursday night in the Locos' social club. If it's Off (my garden is frozen solid now) try again will be on Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t have much time before the game but a few hours after for beers and some food somewhere. better not be off, train tickets are non-refundable and I can’t do Tuesday - it’s a long trip just to sit in the pub then head home...

Our scorelines against lesser opposition this season have been: Stirling 4-1, Forfar 4-0, Brechin 3-0, 1-1 & 3-1. I won't be going heavy on this (as I don't on any Scottish football), but that's worth adding to a coupon IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking available on both sides and beyond the ground it's just business-park premises so not parking outside anybody's house. If you're just going straight to the game so not bothering with the town centre some route-finders will send you round the outer road and in from that far end anyway. The buses will park immediately along the side of the ground allocated to Falkirk fans, on the road that separates Locos' ground from the next-door wire-fence-enclosed football ground. That one is home to North Juniors side Colony Park but they're away on Saturday. Their Aberdeenshire Amateurs Div.2 East side have got a home league fixture on it with a 2pm KO. My lawn was still frozen when I left for work this (Thursday) morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairney The Dinosaur Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I’d actually greet if this game is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsPhil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Milder during Thursday. My lawn will take a stud now. But overnight into Saturday is forecast to drop to -2, then sleet in the morning before warming up but rain all day. Hopefully they've got some covers to put down / it's not a jobsworth who does any Saturday morning inspection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Inverness we felt when we booked it the game would ruin the weekend so in a way we were relieved it was off. This though is entirely different and I'm really buzzing for the match. I will go up midweek for the rearranged match but it won't be the same as Saturday afternoon and nearly 1000 Bairns fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
