Tenkay Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The top two teams in the league meet at Balmoor on Saturday in the big game of the day. Peterheid will want to win this one to close the gap on the league leaders down to one point. If city can get the win, then they will be sitting in a great place on Saturday night. Should be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon 68 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 we need to get back to winning games, especially against the top teams if we have any aspirations on winning the league. can see it being a very tight and tough game for the heed.

You're the guy that had us signing Gary Harkins and then also said "Edinburgh would have some impressive signings to look forward to in january!". ........Of course, we never signed anyone! Big spenders that we are! Anyway, you might actually be right about a score draw here. Peterhead will want this, but hopefully we've got enough to take something from the game.

As I understand it, finance was made available for a marquee capture but subsequent targets after Harkins weren't keen on the move, particularly towards the end of the window when you started to wobble a wee bit.

Should be a good game. I'd say it's must-win for the Pilton Carthusians. If only to stave off the inevitable for a few weeks more. A Peterhead win would be much more welcome though.

Well 53 years actually and in the last 4 years won two lowland league titles and won promotion to the league. Not so bad really. You should be more concerned about your own team getting sent down the road with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going by when Postal United were founded thought it would be 90 since City were 1st formed in 1928. Your right both Albion Rovers and Cowden have a lower league average - Rovers 276, Cowden 334 and City 353 his point is obviously about you being top of the table with a low average crowd.

Postal United indeed! No way of deciphering home and away from going through the same gates, but guessing a general average of away support, i'd say Edinburgh are slightly above Rovers and beneath Cowden in terms of home numbers. So much for our capital city requiring an 'alternative' team in order to change the footballing landscape, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia is wrong to say they were formed in 1966. They were in the Midweek Amateurs and the Caledonian Amateurs before joining the East of Scotland League. Even played in the Junior Cup in the mid 1920s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetoonscotty Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Big game feel today, I’m really looking forward to this! Need to put in a much improved performance from the Annan defeat though. Hopefully Shane Sutherland can make a difference for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
