I agree Airdrie are the better side but qp seem to be hitting a bit of form at the right time. Airdrie can leak goals too. Difficult one to call.

Queens were decent against us in every game bar the last one, passed and moved the ball well but seemed to switch off. 

I'm guessing Coyle has brought in more shit the bed tactics which may work for them

Watching ICT v Arbroath. If Arbroath did somehow get promoted where would they play games? Dundee? They only have 800 seats at gayfield and whilst the 6k rule no longer applies to compete financially they need crowds bigger than 800 surely.

They'd play at Gayfield exactly as they do now. The ground requirements for Premiership and Championship are the same.

They’ve over 1000 season ticket holders. I’d imagine they’ve got a bigger home crowd than the likes of Livingston and Hamilton so I’m sure they would be fine.

I don't think the all seater rule exists anymore. If the the ground has a safety certificate, and is accepted into the league structure, there is no problem.

Who’d people prefer out of Annan or Edinburgh City? Both a massive upgrade (away day wise) on East Fife. 
 

I initially thought Edinburgh City but I’ve just seen the wee shitey stand they’ve built at Meadowbank and thought, maybe not

So why are top flight clubs trialling safe standing and why do they need to ask for permission to install safe standing? Surely if there isn't a rule against standing in the top flight  you can just put in  what you want?   🤷

Annan for me missed the challenge cup game back in 11/12.

because Scottish football...

Seriously though, probably due to safety certificates being for current ground layouts & any modifications would need to be approved plus the cops might want a say in any changes involving certain 'bigger' clubs.

Crowds go up when the team's flying and down when they're rotten, these Airdrie fans need to get this info out into the world it's ground breaking stuff 😂. I think it's going to be a long close season on here...

Falkirk should handle this no problem.

They've just endured their third long season 🤭

Edinburgh for me, we've already got ample enough away trips in Peterhead, Montrose and Queen of the south.

Some twat on twitter claiming we're interested in Gavin Reilly, twat because he scored 5 goals all season for Morton and is pish.

Pretty sure this was banded about last summer, wouldn’t be against it.
