tamthebam Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 As City are moving back Meadowbank Stadium did have a train station (platform is still there) but I'm not sure if the track is still linked to the network Anyway a brisk walk will get you to Waverley within 30 minutes (It maybe that Ainslie Park is 30 minutes walk from Haymarket but I'm not as fit as I once was) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to think of any closer although I haven’t been to all the league grounds. Cliftonhill is quite close to a station. Lesser Hampden is a walk down the hill and across the road from Mount Florida. Falkirk should have stayed at Brockville- a stagger from Grahamston in the old days and Kilbowie was close to Singer. Arthurlie and Girvan's grounds are right next to stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Hampden/Mount Florida and Cappielow/Cartsdyke are about 100m apart. Cowdenbeath station easily 200m from Central. Brockville and Grahamston would have pipped them both back in the day. Edited May 10, 2021 by Bring Your Own Socks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame the train times are shite for getting to County games. 17 hours ago, beano said: hope brechin don't die ! Why would Brechin die? If they go down they just have to regroup and kick on in the Highland League. Like East Stirlingshire and Berwick Rangers have done in the Lowland League. They'll only die if their fans abandon them, I'd hope none would be that fickle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be Forfar f***ed then. Quite ironic that Station Park is one of the furthest away from a station (closest one is 14 miles away). Beaten only by Balmoor (I think). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know anyone who can walk it in 30 mins. It would certainly take much longer for your average fan. And I’ve done it plenty times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin better watch. Austin has problems staying on his feet. If Gerry is fit it’s going to be a different game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
