Fixture at the Most different venues.

[Guest]

I was wondering if any of you learned types could answer the above question? How many different grounds has the same fixture been played at? Clyde must be in with a shout having had five* home grounds and been in a few finals at Hampden.

 

 

*Eight if you include playing at Alloa, Hamilton and Stenhousemuir for pitch laying.

There will no doubt be some crazy ones from the late 19th/early 20th century. 

In terms, of individual fixtures, According to the better meddle archive (http://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/byteam/results.php?opponents=East Stirlingshire) Falkirk have played East Stirling competitively at:

Falkirk Stadium, Firs Park, Brockville, Ochilview, Broadwood, Merchiston Park, Victoria Park (Camelon) and supposedly a park at Loch 16 in Camelon.

As a starter for more recent times (20 years) I have seen United V Aberdeen at

Pittodrie, Tannadice, Hampden, Dens and Tynecastle

On a slightly different note, has there ever been a competitive fixture between Scottish clubs played outside Scotland?*

There has been a few all English European finals and Boca recently played River Plate in Madrid.

* Berwick doesn't count.

Was there not some tours that would have involved this.  I seem to remember one in the US where the clubs took on American names, but it was same strips/players.

Leith Athletic were fairly peripatetic in their history so a local fixture like Leith v St Bernards would have been at a few different venues.

Or Scotland's oldest derby- East Meadows, Powburn, Mayfield, Powderhall, 1st Easter Road, 1st Tynecastle, Logie Green, 2nd Tynecastle, 2nd Easter Road, Hampden Park.

Yeah, I vaguely remembered something like that. I did a bit if googling and found an article on an Aberdeen site.

Aberdeen were the Washington Whips and they beat Detroit's very own Dundee United two nil.

United played as Dallas Tornadoes and Hibs as Toronto City.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Soccer_Association

There was another version in 1969 with Dundee United as Dallas Tornadoes again plus Kilmarnock as St Louis Stars.

Going back to the 60s I saw the Dons against Dundee United at Pittodrie, Tannadice and Dens.

[AyrshireTon]

We played (old) Rangers at Cappielow, Ibrox, Hampden, Love Street, Firhill and Parkhead.

[TheScarf]

Trying to think if we've played a team at more than 3 different venues in competitive games.

East Fife the only one I think?  Old and New Bayview, Telford Street and TCS.

We’ve never played Hibs at Hampden. Just remembered we’ve played Hearts at TCS, Pittodrie, Tynecastle, Easter Road and Hampden.

I was thinking that there was a cup semi v hibs. I'm obviously mistaken. 

Any other cup semis at neutral venues against teams that you also played in your short spell at Pittodrie?

Yes. In 1994, Celtic played Hearts and Aberdeen in Hamilton Ontario, Canada in a end of season tournament called the Hamilton cup. Celtic Drew 1-1 (winning 4-2 on penalties) with Hearts and beat the Dons 1-0 on 22 and 28th May. I'm unsure if Hearts and Aberdeen played each other at that time. Montreal Impact were the other team involved.

I have seen Kilmarnock play Falkirk at Rugby Park, Brockville, Falkirk Stadium, Ibrox and Fir Park. Not quite old enough for the 1957 cup final at Hampden though.
