I've had this date in the diary since the fixtures came out in June, it's the first competitive fixture abroad for the Rose. Plan is to go on Saturday as a family, I and possibly the big child will go to the game and then afterwards we're going to walk the sands to Lindisfarne in the gloaming. What could possibly go wrong? Your citizenship could be revoked so you won't be allowed back across the border? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the combination of early darkness, my missus being the world's stupidest genius/cleverest idiot and my "independently spirited" children I'm more concerned about. The plan is to drop two at the start, drive to the other side, other two start from there and we hand over the car keys when we meet in the middle. Best laid plans and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I once saw a horse getting rescued from the tide at Holy Isle by the fire brigade. That was actually a weird day as I was coming back from seeing East Stirlingshire win a pre-season friendly at Blyth Spartans... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time was two years ago, I walked across the sands alone early in the morning. Looking forward to repeating it with the family, hopefully with a nice sunset. Yet pathetic bloke than I am, it could be a near-transcendent experience but if Linlithgow don't get a result at Tweedmouth I'll be miserable the whole way . I spent last Saturday night muttering "fucking Ormiston???" every 10 minutes, I wouldn't want a repeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are any of Wallace Mercers family involved? I'm not sure "Craigroyston Leith Athletic FC" will have the fans queuing at the turnstiles. Sadly though I think football facilities are way down the list of priorities for Edinburgh Council, look at the mess they're making of Meadowbank redevelopment, it seems they want to drive football away from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Could they potentially "merge" and stay with the name Leith Athletic? I could see that happening as it's the more famous name. There are already quite a lot of Edinburgh senior clubs and not a lot of suitable facilities so I can see why they might go down the merger route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postal Utd Tollcross Utd Manor Thistle and Edinburgh Athletic are Edinburgh clubs that have disappeared in my time following the EOSFL. I'm sure the hard working Craigroyston committee might see different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lothian Thistle name survived its merger so perhaps both names will be incorporated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Edinburgh City FC been able to get the council to agree any changes/improvements to their original planning approval ?

I'm sure the hard working Craigroyston committee might see different. I was at Manor Thistle's first ever EOSL game against Pencaitland, played at the Jewel and Esk Valley College. Do I win £5? Manor Thistle merged with Telman Star Amateurs to become Edinburgh Athletic who then merged with Leith Athletic Amateurs to become the current Leith Athletic team who play in the East of Scotland League. Maybe Craigie, Leith Athletic and Pilton should merge to form CLAP FC..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnie_man Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Postal United became Edinburgh City and Tollcross Utd became Tynecastle, is that right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
