I assume this isn't on Scotland or ALBA, and just a standard 3pm kick off?

One for the stattos but how many teams have done a double relegation from Tier 2 - 4. Can't be too many.

EDIT: Cowdenbeath obvs.

We have

I remember that well, they beat us 3 out of 4 times that season. I missed the only time we beat them as well 

They did, but that's not the season you're thinking of - they suffered successive relegations in  2010/11 and 2011/12, from the First Division down to the Third.

The year you're thinking of was the 2014/15 season - Scott Booth's year in charge - when they tanked us three times. Horrendous stuff all round!

Brechin getting promoted is about the worst thing that's happened to them. I wouldn't fancy them in the play-off, even if they win on Sat.

Getting to play Dunfermline in 2018 to potentially playing East Kilbride in 2019. Wild.

They got relegated 2013/14 did they not from the championship?

 

EDIT: Just looked it up, apparently they got promoted that season, haven't a clue where I am getting relegation from

Warriors to see out the league campaign out with a draw provoking scenes on the Glebe terracing.

 

Is Flicks still open?

Looking forward to the relegation party on Saturday

 

Here we go 2 in a row

[Blue Moon 92]

Off the top of my head: Dumbarton, Morton, Hamilton, Clyde, Cowdenbeath.

And you can add Stranraer to the list and after a quick check Stirling Albion are also on list of shame

Brechin relegated us to League 2, two seasons ago. Good to get our revenge.

 

Looking forward to this, Colin said in his interview that he goes into this wanting to win the game, even though a point is good enough. 

 

I would go with the team FF put above, but put Dickson in instead of Dingwall, haven't a clue why he's been dropped completely from the squad. Russell seems to be a good player but doesn't link our midfield to our attack, he just makes runs in between them. If we have Sean in there, he can play that role and even drop further back if he needs to, 

"Russell seems to be a good player". On what evidence exactly?

He has taken The Ghost nickname from Lewis Sloan all those years ago.

I'll inject a bit of positivity about the place and predict that we might scrape a draw from this one. 

 

Eta: funny how the P&B spellchecker doesn't recognise these words:

I'm assuming we are at home on the Saturday for the play off game once we dismiss this gang?

Away on Tuesday and and home on Saturday aye....

does the ‘higher league position’ advantage continue into the final ? ie: we would be home in the 2nd Leg again? Or is it drawn? Can’t remember that bit

Yes the highest ranking team in the final have the home game on the Saturday.

How many teams have gone the whole hog and finished bottom of the bottom tier after successive relegations? Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath certainly have.

Clyde managed that I'm pretty sure.

Clyde managed that I'm pretty sure.

So they have. And I think that's it. Forfar finished bottom in 07/08 after being relegated but just the once.

Sean Dickson won't play for Stenhousemuir again.

Why not?

Players awards after the game. That could be interesting

Best of luck to Brechin City on Saturday, hope you do the business against the Warriors. Hope Ross Kavanagh scores a couple for you on Saturday.
