That section of the preview should be reworded. At one point we were working on a plan to get it partially open by moving the Red Zone sub area to the extreme ends of Section 1 and Section 4 instead of the front but the new dugouts arrived before we had to instigate it. I assume the wording references that original intent. Thankfully movement between the BDS Stand and the terracing has been allowed for the last 3 fixtures & tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what Hamilton's ground is officially called and I'm not 100% sure on Alloa's (is it still the Indodrill(sp?)). They're New Douglas Park and Recreation Park respectively, to me. If someone was to rename Palmerston and pay the club money for doing so, I really wouldn't care. I and every other Scottish football fan would still call it Palmerston. It's not the clubs bending over, it's the companies being taken for a ride. I'm all for it. The only exception to the rule is the Tony Macaroni, mainly as I’m childish and find it an extremely amusing name.

It wasn't smooth the other week certainly. I never did it but I noticed the stewards 'guarding' it and questioning folk when they wanted to move. Just get the gate open and shift the steward to between the home and away fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it is all mince (unless its pasta as in Livi's case) really. Not sure what the full list is these days but we at least have: Tony Macaroni = Almondvale The Fountain of Youth = New Douglas Park Energy Check = Firhill Indodrill = Recreation Park ..... and probably others too .... I've no particular problem as long as businesses are shoving some £ into the club's bank accounts. As has been said on here, the fans will ignore it and just call it by the traditional name. The clubs OS's and programmes etc will have to stick to the contractual side though and use the pishy sponsor names. As I said, its all mince, but alas necessary mince these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Macaroni sounds like an overbearing Italian mob racketeer who has stepped out of a Scorsese film and taken over a football club in order to bleed it dry by whatever means possible. In naming their ground the Tony Macaroni Arena, the club have not only bagged a sponsorship package but also have managed to incorporate nostalgic connotations of the administrative shambles of the Massone years. Fair play to them. Edited November 19, 2021 by Slipmat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in some cases you can throw in the supporters with that considering the shite that some clubs provide for their paying fans? n'est pas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw him walking around South Ayrshire Wouldn't surprise me if he is benched or dropped for this game. BTW walking around South Ayrshire means he's covering thousands of kilometres, he is pretty fit though so maybe you're right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) No Gardyne, Welsh, Walsh or Duffy. Decent enough (but not full strength) starting XI but subs bench a little bare. Edited November 19, 2021 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally pleasing to see that Gardyne is missing. I'm not so sure about Gardyne. As good as he has been, when he stops. so too do our attacking chances. It'll be interesting to see what Doran has to offer and to at least allay fears that he is creaking and stalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
