cookieboy Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Tuesday Newtongrange v Camelon Wednesday Sauchie v Penicuik surely the sensible fixtures would have been Sauchie v Camelon and Newtongrange v Penicuik the fixture man has not been very kind to Camelon or Penicuik. I will take a wild guess and suggest both crowds will be down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be tight getting there on time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be tight getting there on time At least it’s a 7.30 KO. Ormiston midweeks have had 6.30 KO before - that would be tight from West Lothian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Newtongrange v Penicuik is a derby game - clubs are grouped in sets of 4 then play the 6 games on the first day of the season, international weekends, New Year and Premiership winter break. Sets are Blackburn/Bo'ness/Broxburn/Linlithgow... Crossgates/Dundonald/HoB/Sauchie... Penicuik/Newtongrange/Whitehill+Jeanfield... Dunbar/Musselburgh/Tranent+Camelon. While you'll get a lower crowd for Newtongrange v Camelon tomorrow than if it was Newtongrange v Penicuik... you would almost definitely get a lower combined total for Newtongrange v Camelon on such Saturdays, and Newtongrange v Penicuik on midweek, as vice versa. Newtongrange v Penicuik (Jan 12th) was their largest crowd last season by 38%. 1 hour ago, AlanCamelonfan said: you wouldnt want your most local games but could be closer like Blackburn or broxburn for us You played Blackburn at home in the July midweek round - and are away to Broxburn on groundhop's Friday night. You can't be home to Broxburn this week as you don't have lights. You can't play Linlithgow as they'd bye in EQC R1 so played Aug 17th not this midweek. If you played Bo'ness now then Musselburgh couldn't play Newtongrange as they met in July midweek round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant when the initial fixtures were made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
