Guest Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit if googling and found an article on an Aberdeen site. https://www.afc.co.uk/2020/06/11/1956-1974-summer-tours-north-america-explored/ Aberdeen were the Washington Whips and they beat Detroit's very own Dundee United two nil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other cup semis at neutral venues against teams that you also played in your short spell at Pittodrie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. http://celticprogrammes.co.uk/celtic_usa_tours/hearts_220594.html http://celticprogrammes.co.uk/celtic_usa_tours/aberdeen_280594.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
