I did notice a pitch was laid when I went past the other day but the plans for the ground were barely suitable for Leith fucking Athletic let alone Edinburgh's 3rd SPFL club. 2) Effectively yes. Any Arab billionaires want to invest in a going concern.. City's future ground plans are like the Bermuda Triangle, the JFK assassination and the offside rule in rugby union. A riddle wrapped inside a mystery wrapped inside an enigma. I can't understand this really. I would have thought in recent times, Edinburgh City would have been the main tennants of Meadowbank stadium, nothing else was happening there on the same scale. The Edin Council has effectively chucked them out. Disgraceful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 City have signed midfielder Zak Butterworth on loan from Rangers. Seems to have the same hairdresser as Scott Shepherd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 City beat Strollers 4-0 at Muirhouse tonight. See, Handling (p) and a Blair Henderson double. Three trialists playing. This is off the City Twitter. Closed doors of course so I wasn't there. I read about the EFL down south experimenting with crowds of1000 and I can't get to see a friendly at Muirhouse that would have been watched by three people and a Covid free dug.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good for the boys to finally get to play again, however for me, if we're not allowed in to watch the game then I'm not much interested. 18 hours ago, tamthebam said: This is off the City Twitter.

Aberdeen and Ross County allowed 300 fans in (Which could accomodate our full support!) but we're not letting anyone in to watch these friendlies. We've probably only got about 25 season ticket holders, so at least let them in to watch. I fear you'll need a season ticket this year to see any football live! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it also said we were amongst the cheapest pies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nippy and the SG don't get their pals sorted out and do what they did in Aberdeen there won't be any fitba for us this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 City beat Penicuik 3-0 at Penicuik Park today The game was streamed but I prefer watching games in the flesh I think I could have seen in from the skateboard rink in the park but I couldn't be arsed driving to Penicuik to test out the theory.

tamthebam Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It looks like it was a good game in the sunshine. Maybe I should have patched the gardening and gone down with a stepladder to keek over the fence! Good luck to the Rookie Cookie for the new season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier, Yes you can watch a stream of the game, but that doesn't interest me. Just fukin Let us in!!! The Goverment won't let a couple of hundred fans in to a lower league game outside, but quite happy to let people squeeze inside to sit in pubs and restaurants. Not happy!!! Because lower leagues aren't vote catchers. Pubs are. They shut down Aberdeen but let Weegieland run riot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och well, didn't miss much after all. Turns oot our "big away game" was in fact a very low-key bounce game against Hearts u-20s / development boys. 1-1 draw with Marc Laird scoring for us, after a Hertz penalty goal. Best just move on now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should do it every week... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
