Friendly in Scotland
 

See fishy site.. friendly at Partick Thistle and on a saturday .. Had a fine old time last season at scotland friendly away to bluebells or whatever... ... nice trip accross the border this season .... far more appealing than away to Northwich vic..

Just looked and the ground seems to be in glasgow.. great stuff :)

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

I dont believe it, every single pre season friendly is while i`m away on holiday, i would have liked the trip to Partick Thistle, Oh well.

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

The link on the Official site for Northwich Vics gives directions to Witton Albion ground so beware. Partick Thistle is near the Maryhill district of Glasgow - leave the M8 at junction 16 and it's only about a mile up the road on the right hand side. Last time I was there their supporters weren't very friendly, but I was supporting Hibs at the time.

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Some of the pubs up Maryhill Road are a bit rough as well. I was fine but I worry about Kipax.:D

There are some very friendly pubs near by on Great Western Road, or the city centre is only a mile or so away and it's fine there.

Go thrash 'em.:)

So gary.. are you gay this week or not?

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

I seriously don't believe the coincidence here, my Home Town club playing my adopted Town Club. Deffo got to get to this game!

Was born in Glasgow, and followed Partick as a lad, when all the other Kids were following Rangers. Wasn't that long ago they were in the SPL. Also, if you look down the history line, a left back by the name of Norman McCredie played for both clubs. I'm sure there are other players that have played for both Clubs, but I happened across this particular name after talking to his son in a pub.

Never been to Firhill unforunately, so would really love to go to this match. Travel by train if needs must :D

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

also being a glasgow boy I have been to firhill many a time over the years when 'thistle' were in the spl and my team were in town, its not the best ground in the world by any standards and maryhill can be a bit rough to say the least.. although thistle fans are generally a friendly bunch and I am sure they will give you a good time..train from preston to glasgow central station, then jump a taxi to the ground from the station - will probably cost about £20 but it will be a black hackney so between 5 of you its only £4 a skull, cheap as chips and there in no time....and garinda is right about great western road..load of nice little pubs on it...and only about 6 mile from firhill park...and dont forget to leave your bank of england £20 notes at home as the dark and dingy little pubs in maryhill may refuse to take them due to forgeries...the same way as alot of shops & pubs down here wont take my bank of scotland notes when I return after a weekend in glasgow....its annoying as some of you may find out...should be a good do...I may be in glasgow that weekend and take the game in...free digs in glasgow and an afternoon of footy..sorted !!

Aberdeen, aberdeen, aberdeen.................

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

who ??:cool:

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

I remember all the little Rangers fans having some cheey song they used to sing, Jase will love it:

Aberdeen, Aberdeen,
Cannae kick a jellybean,
Rangers won the golden cup,
Celtic won a rubber duck

They're probably all Celtic fans now though :D

I also think you'd struggle to kick a jellybean, so not really sure if thats an insult or not...

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

No until next Tuesday I'm straight. It's hard being a sex symbol for all genders.

If you want I'll have a word with some of the Weegie hard men I know up there, not to pick on you or hide your glasses.:)

Re: Friendly in Scotland

Re: Friendly in Scotland

Re: Friendly in Scotland

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

It was in todays LET at the end of the Article about ours and Burnleys games clashing, can't for the life of me remember the date of the clash though.

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

yeah i've seen the telegraph too now. thanks diesel

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

I would deffo be interested, of course, just need to skank another lift :D

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Accrington Stanley.. Who are they? ;)

The date for our game against you lot is schedulded for July 31 - A Monday :confused:

It hasn't been confirmed to take place at our stadium - New Bayview as the pitch isn't ready so you will might miss out on visiting Costa Del Methil :cool:

At the moment we are trying to oust our chairman from our club and we have staged protests since the start of the year to remove him and a lot of us have boycotted home matches since this time, but fingers crossed he will be gone by the start of the season.

You should enjoy your trip up here though, we're a friendly bunch :not_ripe:

Re: Friendly in Scotland

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Does that mean we have free entry to the Kingdom then?

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Unfortunately everyone has to pay to enter the wonderul Kingdom of Fife! We're just fortunate that we live here, aint we the lucky ones!!

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Even if I stay on the otherside of the Forth? Better sneak in the back door to avoid the bill. (Kinnie Brig aint got a toll):D

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Yeh, Kincardine is free, and going that way lets you see the good (cough, cough) parts of Fife!

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Longannet Power Station. ;)

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Totally! :rolleyes:

Just be sure not to go anywhere near Cowdenbeath ;)

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Only at a push if Stanley were playing them.

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid!!! Scum of the highest order :p

As you can tell, East Fife fans and Cowdenbeath fans dont get on very well!

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

Fifer, if the match goes ahead where can we get the frendliest welcome for a bevvy sesh then prior/after the match??

Re: Friendly in Scotland
 

If it does take place in Methil, most of the home fans go to East Dock Bar in Methil High Street or Wellesley Inn which is owned by an East Fife fan or failing that the Social Club within the ground. But you will be ok wherever you drink.
