Don't set him off again Actually my experience of these trainspotters is much the same, although I think froggie is trying a bit too hard... probably was one of them in a previous life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the trying too hard barb... I'd be more suspicious of someone who diverts attention from the curse of the nasal whiners as perhaps being a closet satchel carrying spotter personally!

Was actually referring to the little Kelty Kilwinning spat which has no relevance to Junior Day as far as I can tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village elder Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Was at the Dunipace game last night not because it was a groundhop episode but it was a game we had become aware of from a previous visit..game against Haddington.....with little competition locally crowd around 50....380 last night ..extra cash might help.Point is though no concessions available .It didn't bother me too much and the Dunipace guys were quite apologetic but this was not well advertised..and no it would not have stopped me going 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices gone up I think since move to EoS League more in line with the highway robbery from the champagne charlies in the Lowland League...in short dear by most junior club standads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking if true, shafting your regular customers in favour of someone who you'll never see again seems a bit on the odd side. Do the EOS get a cut of these inflated gates? Fair play to Dunipace for getting almost 400 people, they had around 100 when I was at a game there v Crossgates earlier in the season and they used to average lower than that when the Bens were in the same league, but what's the tangible long term benefit for them? The more I hear about this Groundhop the more I can see why the West region have turned down previous approaches.
