Can’t stand anywhere else because it’s grass bankings or something. I’ve nipped at the club a few times about allowing standing behind both goals but it looks like a no go. Grass bank standing only allowed for Scottish Cup games apparently. The SFA are quite strict on it. Also I agree mate Ainslie isn't the best but its somewhere to watch our team for now. My personal preferences would be lesser murrayfield if that gets built or Edinburgh accies new stadium which will hold over 3,000. Who knows what the future holds but I'm very positive it'll be a secure one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was something to do with the grass bankings. Bit annoying thought when you have something resembling a decent crowd there, real lack of decent places to watch the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stand there for Spartans games H&S at its worse I suppose. I would say over all you get a better view of the game at AP than you did at Meadowbank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just as well they don't let people watch from the dangerous grass slopes at Balmoor (above) or Borough Briggs (below)... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterhead one is outside nothing you can do about that apart from putting up a high fence to block the view. Nice pic of my old mate Pat thought Think Elgin get away with the banking as there is terracing below it so Scrouge 1928 told me last season when I was speaking to him about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Landan Spiv Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 According the clubs twitter we've got another new signing being announced just after 8pm Would actually dance around the streets of portobello in a mankini if we announced the return of Dougie Gair(he should have a bloody good tan by now as well the lucky bloke) OK I won't dance about porty in a mankini.............. The tarquins and floellas that live there would be most offended 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmac25 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Plans for new Murrayfield Stadium for Edinburgh rugby. Mentioned elsewhere that Edinburgh city could be tenants. Very temporary looking but plus side is it has 2000 standing spaces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a grass bank in one corner at Balmoorthat kids run about on but it is not used for standing to watch the game. The bank in the photo is outwith the ground behind a goal. The photo from Elgin looks like its been photo shopped or whatever they do with changing pictures be interested to hear if any Elgin fan thinks its genuine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Getting Graham Taylor back on a permanent deal is a decent bit of business, thought he did well on loan last season and a bit of pace to stretch teams or go over the top is always welcome. Squad is shaping up nicely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not photoshopped because I don't have the bloody skill to do that. If I did have photoshop skills I'd publish a photo of myself buying a round to dispel the rumours! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
