Springfield Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Probably the last team we’d want to face away and a no doubt a potential banana skin. Great little town with a couple of cracking bars and restaurants. Good place for surfing, sea food and umbrella sales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point it's a matter of perspective in the geographical area and what is seen as the norm. Mate of mine who lives in Perth ( the Aus one ) drove for two days including an overnight stop for a friends minor celebration for a few hours and drove back again. Commented 'its seen as the norm' nobody bats an eyelid doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In decent conditions it would be about 5 hours. We stayed at the Norseman Hotel. Bang in middle of the town and had a great night after game postponed at 2.20pm . Wouldn't recommend the train - think it takes about 4 hours from Inverness. One Rose fan lives in the Borders. Got a bus to Galashiels, train to Edinburgh Waverley, taxi to Edinburgh airport and flew to Wick. Flight back on the Sunday was cancelled and was stuck there until Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Having driven the above mentioned Sydney to Gold Coast (Brisbane in my case), and driven to John of’ Groats a couple of times, then although shorter, the road to Wick is a far more demanding drive. Sure, the Oz distance is much longer, but once you are on their M1, it’s a straightforward time event with nothing like the obstacles and traffic/weather variations of driving to Wick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is understandable. Not sure about the QOS light blue. It happened in August, so maybe they'll have to get a third strip just as we did last year? I'm sure one of their fans who monitor this thread will enlighten us. There's absolutely no issue at all with us playing in a very pale blue away kit at Falkirk. We also wore it at Ibrox and Peterhead in August and both their kits are far lighter than yours. We do now have a 3rd kit launched last week but as it's black we'll not be wearing it at Falkirk either. Our pale blue kit is far more likely to clash with a white kit than any sort of darker blue. The only issue we've had this season was at Montrose as their home kit fades from dark blue to light blue across it which meant it clashed with both our blue kits. As the black wasn't available at the time they had to change kits but we'll wear the black kit next time around. I can recall both Falkirk, and Dundee for that matter, playing at Palmerston in their dark navy kits while we wore Royal Blue which was a nonsense but permitted at the time. I doubt it would be now right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whit? Black would completely clash with Falkirk's kit. Not a chance that will be allowed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
