Addie Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 One of my favourite pictures of Princess Royal Park, Banff. Home of Deveronvale. Its taken from Macduff overlooking the river Deveron. Not the most 'quircky' I grant you, but the best part is the pitch - many pro teams, including the Faeroe Islands have played there and said its the best pitch they have ever played on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked Billy Connolly's routine about the guy starting a "Give us a 'D'!" chant... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nursery is handed over to the council It’s not the club’s construction project But they should have it sorted by October 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it has changed a fair bit. The terracing on three sides has been built up and three new covers constructed. The foreground is now also an "amusement" arcade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell McGhee. Ruining one thread by posting your Celtic scrapbook is bad enough but two's not on. That pic has sod all to do with stadium quirks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have ended up skelping some jambos who've attacked me on a couple of occasions though.How about you, been battered off Hibbies a few times aye?Fwiw I was in the terracing the day of that game, if anyone had sung that song to me I'd have knocked them out. Legitimately terrifying. A year before Hillsborough and a stupidly big crowd. I was pinned to the end of a crush barrier for a few seconds and only was able to move after some boy braced himself away from it to let me get off it. Mate I was with broke his ankle after tripping in the crush to get out and being trampled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
