this could possibly be a banana skin for my club me and a few of the boys will be coming through for the game so is there a social club or where are the decent pubs round the ground for a few jars and a good day out

There is 1 bar near the ground but no social club.

When the Rose went up there for the junior cup a few years ago we contacted the Planet Bar and the suporters bus stopped there before the game. Was a decent pub and the boy put on soup and sausage rolls for us. He also gave a few of the boys a lift to the bookies.

You should have a good day out. The other option is to ddrink in the town centre, hunners of decent pubs there then get a taxi to the game.

Would suggest that the Ayr players may need some extra padding. Lochee are a very physical team bordering on dirty (IMO) Always notice their games often have sending offs or bookings. Maybe a case of teams being dragged into the physical stuff that they seem to enjoy.

I'm not a Lochee Utd fan by any stretch of the imagination...but to have won the Superleague and make a Scottish Cup final appearance in the past few years...I reckon they do more than kick teams and rely on their keepers big punt (as stated elsewhere on this forum).

Just a thought.

there is a club a short walk away from the park.ask on the web forum page.fecked if i can remember the name tho

logie club, dee club, whip inn and sandys bar all decent, best give the clubs prior warning, logie club prob cheapest club in dundee! all within 5 mins of thompson park.

anywhere with a pool table will do for me saw a pic of thompson park on the back of our local paper i better watch and no fall down the banking after a few jars

The Whip Inn has a pool table. and is right across the road from the ground.

I tend to drink in Sandy's if i'm going to watch Lochee. It's about a five minute walk along Liff Road.

The ground is a good bit away from the town centre so if folk are getting the train then a taxi is probably your best bet (there's a rank outside the station). A taxi shouldn't cost you any more than £7.

Afew of the Rose boys managed to go straight doon the bankin twice when we beat them in the Junior Cup a couple of season back!!!!! If at the top remember to step back before celebrating and shove anyone away that tries to hug or jump on you!!!!

Do Lochee still have the cheer leaders??????

I hope you Ayr fans can concentrate on the game with them about!!!!!

Lochee are the best side in the East Superleague and will give Ayr a decent game.
Lithgae fans think every team in the league is dirty exept them

Best side? Yer havin' a laugh. Hate to say it but Lithgae have looked the best side we've played this season.

Bo'ness beat Lochee recently and I can confirm they are a bunch of cloggers. Even the ref agreed, sending off one and booking countless others.

The thing I remember most about Lochee, was the pitch was one the smallest I've seen.

is that the game they should have gave ye 6?

Lochee got what they deserved from that game in the end. Bo'ness made far better use of the wind and were the better side over the piece. There isn't a stand-out team in the east (yet) although Forfar West End are producing some blinding results.

Could anybody who is attending the game please report back as to the issuing of tickets. As there are no turnstyles, a couple of committee folk stand with a biscuit tin placed on a table at the top of the slope and refuse to issue tickets. Any time the Rose visit a counter has to be placed at the entrance to take note of the customers. Surely if you are participating in the big Scottish, a better means of telling the attendance and therefore the takings should be in place.

You'll find it's no better at a lot of the smaller senior non-league sides.

They are by no means dirty, but boy do they know how to moan.<br />Middleton the main striker continually backs into the defenders at high balls, or simply walks into defenders and goes down protesting and asking for fouls.<br />The pie hut is not very good, things tend to be defrosted and not cooked properly, but the committee folk are friendly.<br />2 or 3-0 to AU.<br />

Fans will be segregated and seperate turnstiles are in place for both sets of fans so you can stop moaning about how many people are there.

Yes I had heard that all the Lochee fans are being accomodated within the home dugout for this game

lochee will give ayr a good game dont worry about that, fuk lithgae and the rest they r jealous we r in big scottish

Cripple, you haven't a clue have you????

Everyone I know at Linlithgow will want Lochee to win on Saturday. Off the park, we have some excellent banter with the Chee lads.

The jealousy is just coursing through us. We were in the big Scottish last year (did you know that??) and we had a great time. Those whom we talk to at Lochee wished us nothing but success and in our turn, we hope that the Lochee supporters have a great time this weekend. If you get as far as we did, that will be a real achievement because you're playing a better standard of team than we did in the first 3 rounds.

I'd suggest that only a "big team" supporter would assume that the rest of the junior game is jealous of you and wishing your team ill on Saturday. Are you glory hunting this weekend by any chance???
