Re: Questions from Glasgow boy on tour!
Glasgowboy:
1) The Oaklea is an excellent chippy, although, to be fair, I've never heard of Tracey's so I can't comment.
2) All three pubs you mention are OK, the Oaklea particularly so. Sadly, though, there are no pubs in the area that serve real beer. I live in hope that one day a pub in Accy will start serving 80/-! Well worth taking a 20 minute walk over to the Peel Park Hotel, next to the site of our original ground. Any local will give you directions.
3) Definitely watch out for goalie, Kenny Arthur - the pride of Partick Thistle!
4) Haven't lived in Accy for over 20 years, so can't comment. Flashy's right, though - the scram in the Oaklea looks good, although I've never actually tried it.
5) Yep, definitely, a big derby with a lot of local pride at stake. No real aggro, though, so don't expect a Rangers/Celtic scenario! You may be a neutral, but make sure you come into the Clayton End - you'll be a confirmed Stanleyite afterwards!
