RandomGuy. Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Elgin away is a beautiful fixture to get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Well those fixtures are complete dug shite from a Falkirk perspective. The sole positive is that I'll be able to see the St Johnstone game without travelling to the hovel that is Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhliston Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not a bad draw for us Falkirk at home on Saturday, hope for a decent crowd at Forthbank, then away to Brechin on Tuesday, a week off to face Elgin thankfully at home, the up to Perth to play St Johnstone on Saturday.

Widge Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Not too bad for saints i guess. Go for a jolly up to Elgin on a Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Excellent stuff. Elgin Away and Falkirk home suit me perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityfan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Playing two full time sides 3 days apart to start our season is going to be tough going. I'd prefer to have played Stirling and Brechin first, playing them after taking 0 points from the first 2 games will make these games even less meaningful than they were before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhliston Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Problem with our home fixture against Falkirk at Forthbank, pitch might not be ready in time, the club did ask seemingly to have our first 2 games away from home but ignored it seems by SPFL. according to the Rave On ! website club is in discussion with SPFL over the matter. Just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hope the weather is good for our first game, should be a good comparison to our European trips to the back of beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to wait and see. I remember an early game a few years ago the pitch was full of weeds, brown patches and needed cutting. Surely can't be that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely can't be that bad Nothing like that pitch was reseeded at beginning of May and it still growing, should be ready near the end of July. Club did ask for the first 2 fixtures to be away from home to allow the pitch to be ready but this request was seemingly ignored by the SPFL. Club have contacted the SPFL re the matter. Wait to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin away is ideal as that'll be another ground ticked off; only Albion Rovers, Dumbarton, Hannah and now Edinburgh City to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Should take a decent crowd to St Johnstone away id imagine, so happy with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Surely it wasnt impossible to find a computer programme that would make the draw totally random every year. Would be a lot fairer for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Elgin Away is my weekend on at work I think. Might need to pull a few favours.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pack Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Probably head up to this, worked in Elgin on a site 25 years ago, the boozer down the wee lane and the wanky one with the RAF punters and Joanna's nightclub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsjfc Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Assuming TV money same as in the Scottish cup and saints will make some money off this? Am I correct that Elgin and Brechin both grass pitches too? That's good from a playing perspective too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Aw man, Elgin away. Great fixture. I think we'll take a good support up there. Bit of a novelty playing in summer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
