Okay i'll start thing's off.
RAITH V EAST FIFE
I think this will be a tight affair, both team's want to claim the bragging right's.
ARBROATH V BRECHIN
Brechin will be too strong i'm afraid, if Arbroath don't start off well it could be a struggle.
STIRLING V ALLOA
Personally i think Alloa will have the upper hand, Stirling will have to adapt quickly or fall away.
See what you think.........

Does Stranraer against Ayr not count?
No.
Me boifday's on the 10th and we play Scumbroath on the 13th if I mind right (September). Daughter's an Arbroath fan, and this will be the first time we've played each other competitively since I started taking her to games - can't wait.
4-3 us and Simon to go home crying like a school-kid again maketh pollymac:
It'd also give me bragging rights in the McC household as my wife is also a skankbroath native

No there's a new law being brought into place to stop that term being said again incase it upsets Ayr fans that they couldn't possibly care about thier mighty team playing against a ''diddy' team full of farmers from the south coast.

Well, there is a southwest derby, an Angus derby, A fife derby and a stirlingshire derby and both queens and peterhead have no local derbies. Common sense really.

We live in a democratic society and you are out voted 2-1 mate so move over to the licht side and get out of the shadow of the hedge

Brechin will beat us and in my books i dont really count it as a derby ,

Hmmmm in the absense of the Scumtrose and the Fermers in the 2nd Div, and the fact it is only 15 mile away............DERBY!
Aye and Brechin will beat us tae
I'd love it if we won. I firmly believe that if East Fife play the tactics they have been playing this year then we have a strong enough defence to cope and a midfield which can keep the ball on the deck. Nonetheless, East Fife are a good team who haven't had the results going their way...in the words of Mr Dalziel they haven't been getting the rub of the green. 2-0 to the Rovers: Campbell and Smith with the goals.
In the past we've been vulnerable to teams with the direct approach at Stark's. I think we'll dominate the Fife in midfield, which they'll try to bypass, but we'll need solid defending and sharpness in attack; I think Smith and Weir can cause them problems and hope that Campbell and Ellis cope with the battering ram tactics I expect them to employ up front.
Ayr will destroy Stranraer
And we fans will provide £5k at the turnstiles to the save Stranraer fund.
Still doesn't feel like a derby these games, but I suppose geographically speaking we are closer to Stranraer than any other league team. Regardless of what it is I am sure we will enjoy it all the same. Not often we lose at Stair Park. We've been beaten 10 times at Stair Park in the league and 6 of them were in the 50's and 60's, including a 7-2 humping embarassingly enough
4-0 to Ayr. OK I'm being harsh on Stranraer...4-1 to Ayr.
I hope this post doesn't come back to haunt me!!!

maybe cause we've hardly been in the same division in past decade. depends really if you look at rivalry or location when you consider derbys, i personally go more by location...

Yeah i suppose it is a derby and it is probably that weve been in the 1st and yopuve been in the 3rd and weve sort of went right past each other , us goin right down to the 3rd and yous going up to the 1st so were sort of just meeeting up again. The thing is though i like Brechin as a place (even though its a shithole) and i like there club aswell , and at the same time i despise Montrose , Forfar and East Fife.

Ayr to Stranraer 52 miles
Ayr to Glasgow 35 miles
We are closer to QP than Stranraer, although with Peterhead also not having a natural derby game in this league, i recon it would be pretty cruel to dump them with Stranraer as thier derby team.

I meant that we are Stranraer's closest team in Scotland. QP at Hampden on derby day would be far more appealing to me and I am sure most other honestmen and women

We appreciate that you will be eternally grateful to us.
I doubt we'll be leaving disappointed, unless of course we get another Jim O'Hare type refereeing performance. Put the shackles on Tade and that will be you screwed. Easy three points. After your straight red last Saturday will you have enough players?
Going by previous recent encounters I recon you can expect a lot at this game. anything 500 upwards. Might be worth employing the turnstile police, if you know what I mean.

Unless it is the SPL title We ARE world famous aswell , i know this as i moved to Australia a few years ago when i was around 12 , when i said to my 'soccer' team i was playing for i was from Arbroath and a few of them who obviously know the best teams in football
said 36 - 0 in an instant.
Except you don't really have the world record - it has been beaten on a number of occasions, it's just fortunate for Arbroath that the Guinness book of Records views a game between a cricket club and a football club as being more legitimate than a game between two actual football clubs.

So your saying the most bought book in the world with millions of facts and records is wrong
Even if it is do we care . We like i said are known by alot of football fans around the world ,and well ,are Brechin ?
I'd like to point out that we hold the British record for the most league goals in one season. All the Rovers fans on P&B will be delighted to wheel this out and not care if we don't win the league or get promoted this year. The fact we have a record means that league titles mean fuck all
