I know it's been a while since we've been to a few of these grounds and back in the early 80s we had some hard games, I've seen the word "bearpit" banded about, ok the forfar, Montrose etc fans may be passionate about their teams but the grounds are hardly intimidating unless its changed massively since we we're last down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we will outnumber the home fans at all away games except Airdrie and Raith then WE will decide how intimidating the atmosphere will be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safety of fans traveling, having the stadium safe such as standing area clear of ice and snow. Factor in weather conditions such as wind, there be games postponed not due to the state of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes missing all to often in games and that's not what you need from a small squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-week games in the middle of winter is what the seaside leagues are all about. Well last season there were absolutely none played in league one so i think you're talking pish. A couple of teams replayed a game in february and that was about it. Hardly what the seaside leagues are all about ffs.

Very few games in the winter last season. In fact some teams never played a midweek game all season. A couple of teams played on a tues in feb but that was about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
