Scottish Lowland Football League announces Groundhop Weekend fixtures

The Scottish Sun Lowland Football League and GroundhopUK are delighted to announce the host clubs and fixtures for the second Groundhop to take place in Scotland. The games will take place over the weekend of 11 – 13 March 2016.

The weekend features matches at six venues in the Lowland Football League, including two games at grounds that have hosted Scottish League football - reigning Champions Edinburgh... City at Meadowbank Stadium, and Gretna 2008 at Raydale Park.

In an exciting development, the schedule also includes two matches from the East of Scotland League, which will serve as a “taster” for a full series of groundhop games in the East of Scotland League in 2017.

The games are:

Friday 11th March 2016
Gretna 2008 v Dalbeattie Star (7:45pm)

Saturday 12th March 2016
Civil Service Strollers v Leith Athletic (11am)
Craigroyston v Tynecastle (2pm)
Spartans v University of Stirling (5pm)
Edinburgh City v East Kilbride (8pm)

Sunday 13th March 2016
Edinburgh University v Selkirk (12:15pm)
Whitehill Welfare v Gala Fairydean Rovers (3:15pm)
Preston Athletic v Threave Rovers (6:15pm)

6:15 KO on a Sunday night Castle Douglas to Preston Ath. Delivered the short straw tie there. Why are there two East of Scotland games included They are not LL. And if so why early KOs on the Saturday. Because of the distance involved surely not the most sensible timing of games.

Ye could say the same for Edinburgh City having to be at Dalbeattie for a Sunday pub league 11 o c kick off last season.

Unfortunately 3 into 2 doesn't go as far as Dumfries and Galloway teams are concerned so there's always gonnae be the odd team that has the inconvenience off travelling for the groundhop weekend.

It seems to have been an overwhelming success last season so by looks of it you've either got to like it or lump it.

Take that as your alternative to relegation :lol:

2 EoS games added to expand the weekend and as a starter for a full EoS ground hop in 2016-17.

That's yer lot - now no EOSFL matches included in this Hop.

The organizer is claiming it's him who's changed it, at the request of some his signed-up customers.

Aye. Right ! So the 5th tier of Scottish football bends over so readily when commanded to do so, does it ?...

Seems to me it's more about clubs quite rightly wanting the Sunday off for Hibs being in the League Cup Final and thereby telling him tough luck he's no having his Sunday afternoon & evening shows.

Anybody from Whitehill Welfare and Preston Athletic care to comment which way round it was ? - who told who ?

I wasn't pointing the finger Broonie, just saying Rab would know.

The way the weather is going I can see most of those hop games getting washed away anyway apart from the Spartans game. Bit dodgy planning something like that in Scotland in mid March.
