As you say plenty of choice, I just counted and I've been at 14 grounds in the area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Greenock Morton 0-0 Dunfermline Athletic An absolutely wonderful ground to finish the 42 at. The game was good despite the scoreline. Shame I finish the 42 with my first 0-0 that I've seen in Scotland, but I can't have everything I suppose. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to apologise for that pile of shite being your game to finish the 42 - it was the worst game I've seen in years and trust me, there have been some turgid Pars games this season - but you seem to have enjoyed it so fair enough. Now you'll have to do a ranking of some sort... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big problem is that you seemed to stop each time you got in/near Greenock Morton's penalty area. You were quite strong in building up, but don't seem to have anyone actually capable of producing a shot on goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in England most grounds I go to are seated so have got used to it really. It also saves getting flack from the short areses that are standing behind you. Heightism is still very prevalent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmerston is a brilliant ground, really enjoyed my day. The best shed left standing in Scotland, IMO. I've only been to Palmerston once, over 10 years ago, Linlithgow Rose's first Scottish Cup foray ended there in the season QOTS made the final. The weather was bloody awful, a dank, cold, fog, it'd be nice to return and stand in that shed. So now you've done the 42, are you masochistic enough to go for Tier 5? I've got 5 to go. In winter, Brora's not all that appealing tbh... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably first complete the East Superleague though, as there are some grounds quite close (Glenrothes, Kirrie, Downfield) I haven't done yet. After all the traveling of the last few weeks I think I want some easy ones for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
