The Mantis Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 6 hours ago, GordonS said: In my mind if there's no terracing, the capacity shouldn't be more than one line of spectators around the pitch. When the guys from Midlothian Council were assessing Whitehill, which has abundant grassy banking, they said they would only allow 2 rows of people where it wasn't terraced. Not sure if they were making it up as nobody else in Midlothian had ever been given a capacity. Maybe hard standing is assessed more generously. Had a great time at Keith once watching ICT and stayed over in a hotel in the square. Everybody was great, had a really good night. Unfortunately there was a nightclub opposite and when I left in the morning, some youngsters had twisted my wiper arms. It was raining too. The hotel owner got a scrappie to open up on a Sunday, drove me there and back, and I got sorted just in time to catch ICT at Inverurie 10 mins before kick off.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Brilliant day down in Preston, I may have been harsh in my original opinion that it was a shithole, it’s improved a lot since the last time I was down there. Game finished Preston NE 2-2 West Ham. Both teams tried to play a decent game which was good, I had been expecting them not to give a f**k since it was a friendly. Deepdale is a great stadium, reminded me of Tynecastle with the way the stands are built and that it’s close to the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stadium structure as you say and always a cracking atmosphere when Blackburn play there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jag Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Was Saturday in Magdeburg (bit of a dump) for the Interwetten Cup, a 3 team pre-season tournament involving 1. FC Magdeburg, FC. Genoa plus Swansea City. 30oC plus sun, so pedestrian paced football. Took in the 1st two games, both of which involved Swansea. Oli McBurnie came on at 1/2 time in the game against Genoa. Had more or less no service, so not a lot to do but in the last minute got on the end of a cross and looped a header in. Banged away his penalty in the resulting p/k kick-off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
