Andy groundhopper Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Glad some of you are 'old school' using pen & paper, the use of colours very scientific ! Mine just go in this book with my records of rugby union/League, cricket and speedway stadiums I've been to. Before dementia sets in, I can still visibly recall most grounds, blurred I admit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that as well. Helps when planning for games to visit in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysartrovers Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Loving the fact you are working, just off a bit paper. I have mines down on excel, but am looking to get as much information on the trips as possible. I am having to research okd raith games for attendances and scores. Which is a lot harder than it should be. I have my dad finding old programmes for me as well. The blue are the ones i/we have been to. The small blue ones are ones i will be doing again. Give me the dates of the rovers games you need the attendances for as have a bunch of old programs there I can check 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Lesmahagow 3-v0 CarlukeFirst visit to the tremendous natural amphitheatre, Craighead Park Lesmahagow for another game in the West of Scotland Third Division.Had some great times in the 9th tier so far and this was no different. I know Craighead Park is infamous for landslides and postponements and even a fire but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Even if it was a but hairy coming down the 74 when it was chucking it and thinking we might have to reroute.The Gow the better team throughout and well deserving of the comfortable victory. Some cracking goals including directly from a free kick and a penalty which killed the game as a contest.Would recommend but doubt you'll have much chance to be there before March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralTon Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Keith 1 v 1 NairnA late deflected goal gave Nairn a point from a game they dominated from start to finish. Keith took the lead just before half time with a stonewall penalty, but it was against the run of play. Well deserved point for Nairn in the end. Enjoyable day out, couple of beers in the club bar and decent pies. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoingThe42 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 24/42: Alloa 2-1 Clyde, League One, 29/10/22 An absolute sickener for the BW at Recreation Park, losing to a last-minute goal (Luke Donnelly's second of the game) to make it ten defeats in a row. Robbery is maybe a bit strong a word to use for this one, but Clyde didn't deserve to lose. They're struggling to get a break at the moment, summed up by the two-minute first-half spell when Clyde had a shot narrowly deflected wide, then Donnelly had a shot deflected into the top corner to give Alloa the lead. Clyde rallied and produced a really strong performance. Levelled with a good goal from Kurtis Roberts, who put in a really good shift. Cameron had a strong second half for Clyde, and Ray Grant was good throughout. But Clyde went down to ten men after Kennedy's second booking, a tired challenge. He should have been subbed earlier. Then lost it after failing to defend a free-kick in injury time. Whole move could have been stopped if Gomis had been a bit braver in the middle of the park. So, a tenth consecutive defeat to begin the post-Lennon era. Grim. And this was a sore one. Clyde played well and should have taken something. Special mention to the referee, who was spectacularly poor. He and his linesman in front of the Clyde fans were just guessing half the time. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Dalbeattie Star 0-2 Tranent JuniorsIslecroft is a delightful ground. An absolutely lovely old stand. The game wasn't the best, probably also due to the torrential rain during most of the game. Tranent were clearly the better side, but weren't very effective going forward which kept it exciting until they scored their second goal. That gets me to 14/16 in the Lowland League and 160/283 overall. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forfarton Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 East Craigie 3 Ellon United 1 Scottish Junior Cup The Shipbuilders were the better side in the first half and should have gone in at the break more than one up. Ellon started the second half well and got a deserved equaliser. East Craigie came back into the match and scored a penalty before a convincing winner. Great people at Craigie Park and made to feel very welcome. Will definitely be back. Wishing them all the best in the next round against St Roch's. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mantis Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Tayport 0 Rutherglen Glencairn 4 (HT 0-4) SJC, Round 3 at the Canniepairt. £6/£3 entry and £3 for a pie & Bovril. Never in doubt from the 11th minute when Glens went ahead following shoddy marking at a corner. The next 2 goals were poor defensively but the 4th by Burns was a cracking 30 yarder*. *OK, 25 yarder, having just seen the highlights Edited October 30, 2022 by The Mantis 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eindhovendee Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 In Dundee for the weekend so went to Thompson Park for Lochee United v North End in the Quest Engineering cup. Brilliant entertainment with a 4-3 win for North End. Some cracking goals. Lochee were the better team for most of the game but couldn't put it to bed, up 3-2 with 10 mins to go they took their left back off who had been very steady and started a lot of their most dangerous moves. Within a few mins NE had scored twice to take the lead and held on. Not a great result for The Chee who have since parted company with George Shields and Jinky. Spoke with Kevin McNaughton after the game in the Logie Club and he was buzzing at a great result in his first game in charge at North End. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 101 (ish) of the current grounds Wiki says 292 but don't shoot the messenger. I've got to 245 in Scotland but that's including old ones like Muirton & Brockville. Not a fanatical groundhopper at all, just seen a lot of fitba since I was taken to Tynecastle in 1966 as a wee laddie for Bonnyrigg v Penicuik in the Junior Cup. My totals are bumped up by watching Caley in the HL and ICT moving up the leagues, and my local teams Bonnyrigg in the Juniors and Whitehill in the EOS. Seen ICT at 55 grounds.

DoingThe42 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 25/42: Ross County 1-2 Hearts, Premiership, 30/10/22. Finally, a 42 Hearts or Clyde win. Only took the nine attempts. Great three points for Hearts, but had to dig in with the - now usual - makeshift defence looking ropey pretty much all day. Got the points in the bag though, and the league table looks much healthier for Hearts suddenly. Big run of games coming up. It's a great away day, but getting out of The Mallard is key. I don't know about other clubs, but when Hearts go there it's just rammed full of young team and is hard work. There are better options for your discerning fan. What a month it's been. I've added twelve to my 42 tally, and have been to sixteen games in total in October. I think a more serene November now that I've broken the back of the 42. Maybe even a Saturday off. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow had been cleared off the pitch and the grass terrace was still a bit treacherous. Thistle scored and the Brake Club went sliding down the muddy slope to the tune of Ski Sunday!

Popular Post DiegoDiego Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 Cihangir GSK 3-0 Merit Alsancak Yeşilova SK.Outstanding entertainment in the North Cyprus league yesterday.Cihangir is about 15km from Nicosia and makes Dingwall seem like Tokyo. I asked a woman on the street where a shop was, the nearest one was by the motorway five kilometres away, so she brought me some water and biscuits from her house. Which was nice.Turns out the only place you can get food or drink in the village is at the stadium, which was quite handy, they've got a nice wee cafeteria.Ground itself was a single stand populated by about thirty plastic garden chairs. I was lucky enough to snag one early doors and it was by far the most comfortable I've been at a football match. Probably about 300 in attendance, including about 30 away fans, some very attractive women, and a super cute puppy.The away team opened the scoring by trundling the ball underneath the wild swing of their keepers leg and into their own net. Well worthy of a Danny Baker VHS.About half an hour in there was an off the ball incident leading to an absolute rammy. There were outstanding heads gone all over the place, including the female assistant coach pushing over the fourth official. Police on the pitch and all.Pretty even game all in, despite the quality being lower Highland League level. About £2.50 to get in and worth every penny. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Newcastle u21s 1 v Sunderland u21s 1 in action this evening in Premier League 2. A crowd of 2511 and a stoppage time equaliser from the Sunderland keeper . Segregation even at this level made it an amusing evening especially with the travelling fans going wild wi the equaliser. Only chance al get to see St.James' Park this season. £3 £1 entry. Edited October 31, 2022 by newcastle broon 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
