Guest Landan Spiv Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The big clubs will laugh at me for this thread. Edinburgh City have drawn Connahs Quay away in the semi final of the Irn Bru Cup. Diddy Cup for a lot of folk but to us it's a European away day which we are looking forward to. A decent number already looking at hotels and a coach will also be heading down from the capital. The game will be live on S4C in Wales and Alba here in Scotland. We're in Europe........ Let us have our moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that as well.

It is your typical post industrial wasteland with takeaways, vape shops and the usual suspects aplenty. On the bright side it is handy for Chester for a post match night out and is just off the main motorway network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me its better than Burnley? As for Chester I think that's where a lot are gonna head for a night out after but me personally and a small group will stay local to Connahs Quay. We're in Wales for a game so we're gonna have a drink there as well and help boost the local boozers. Chester has enough money. If city played in Germany I wouldn't drink in France sort of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point tbh, thankfully have never had to subject myself to the delights of Burnley but pretty sure I can see CQ having much the same ambience without the added cultural diversity. Got a mate who stays there so will tap him for info on decent pubs down the hill but fear it will be a short list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a friendly bunch and have no ego so I'm sure the locals will warm to us. Win or lose we just want a good trip. We'd never have imagined being in this position since our Re formation in 1986. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that The Broad Oak is his second choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulderdomb Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 What's date and time of kick off? Seems like this would have been a decent TV game next season with BBC Scotland channel rather than Alba. Might give it a watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Good luck to Edinburgh City. I see Connahs Quay are top of the Welsh league at the minute so would be a great scalp. Was at the St. Mirren v New Saints game a couple of years ago and the Welsh team played some decent stuff, think they were winning at half time before St Mirren won 4-1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go up to CQ very often, but the Wetherspoons by Shotton railway station is alright. Nothing spectacular, but I'll happily go for a drink there. Bit of a pre-warning ... there's no bar at the ground. Best of luck & good journey down from the Burgh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
