For me personally, Ireland would be the best, Wales next, and any other new ground still pretty good. Don't want a trip to England. Bohs would be my top pick as ive got family in Dublin and I'm long overdue a visit. Sligo is a pain to get to, Coleraine would be decent as theres a train from Belfast or Derry(Londonderry or whatever you prefer to call it). Connahs Quay isnt far from Chester so would be do-able. Sutton is decent but ive been there four times but would still be happy if we got that draw. Its still a plane journey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not being personal just interested in the club's progress in terms of fan base) I know my comment was also tongue in cheek. I started following the club during the 1st lowland league season however I did attend one scottish cup game when the club was an east of Scotland outfit(a day visit before i moved up a couple of years later). Never actually met anybody until we got to league 2 as i hardly ever travelled away to see City and like most others sat alone at games at Meadowbank . So yes im relatively new so to speak, in fact there are only four or five peoples faces i recognise from the lowland league days, most are new. The supporters club has helped bring everybody together from the social club aspect, to old and new fans and also a strong relationship with the board. Our fan base will get bigger but its a hard slog. Our fanbase will only grow with success or unless we are very lucky like Dulwich Hamlet down south and get a whole subculture who just one day decide that we're gonna be their team and our gates treble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a double barreled Derry - Londonderry with the train announcements just to make absolutely sure nobody is confused what city is being referred to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Derry is preferred by Nationalists and Republicans, Londonderry by Unionists. Used to be a non-issue because both sides used Derry colloquially up until the 1980s when the SDLP run local council moved to change it officially. Still officially Londonderry in some contexts where it can only be changed by royal charter, but Derry is also used officially in many contexts such as local government.

Thanks, that seems the most logical way as Republicans wouldn't want any mention of London, whether or not it has any reference to that other place. What confused me was that the **** sing about "guarding old Derry's walls" but this presumably predates the 1980s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghTurkey Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Arbroath away then. Not a great draw but at least it's relatively close. Chance of a Steak and Black Pudding pie too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Landan Spiv Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Nice 7-0 victory for City earlier in the East of Scotland FA (CITY) Cup. 3-0 at half time and Lothian Thistle fell apart in the last 20 minutes. Couldve been double figures. Low crowd but the weather was horrendous and the game was played on of the oriam outdoor pitches. Excellent programme produced for it though i must admit. Some of our Under 20s look decent prospects. Adam Watson our loanee from Livingston had a great game. Back to league action on Saturday when Annan visit Ainslie Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghTurkey Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Don't know if TV and that kick off time will affect getting the bus and a driver, but I suppose at least now there's the option to maybe watch it all together in the social club and get a really big group together for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
