thornwoodjag Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Might as well have a match thread. Never been to Newlandsfield before so looking forward to it. Who knows what to expect. Hopefully see some goals and a few trialists. Here’s hoping the new Ben is as good as the old Ben. ( if indeed he is old Ben). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 (edited) I went to a pre-season game there - way back maybe in the noughties. David Lilley + a bunch of kids. 1-0 up at HT, 5-1 down at FT. Men and boys. Edited June 26 by Albert's Ghost Actually 2-1 down at HT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Stolen from the Thistle Archive: 2. Wed-23-Jul-2003 [a] L1-5 Pollok (Friendly) – MP 9/8/2003. Pinkowski, Wilson, Rushford, Kaczan, Lilley, Panther, Ross (A), Trialist, GEMMELL, Shields, Gibson. (Howie, Cassidy, Boyle, McBride (M).) – A match best forgotten. Gemmell gave Thistle the lead with a header then Panther wasted a good chance. Gemmell went off injured and Pollok were 2-1 ahead at half-time. Three goals (2 of excellent quality) after half-time put paid to any fight-back. Best forgotten indeed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Just reminded of John Gemmell - a big lump of a lad who really looked a player. Sadly it was not to be... http://www.thethistlearchive.net/john-gemmell You can tell I'm itching for action... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 Pollok is very near to me. A perfect venue. But for me it is far to early for domestic football. For those going Loks Bar & Kitchen at the ground has a bar for visiting & home fans. The Quaich 5 mins away is also a very good pub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 There are excellent public transport options. First Bus 3 travels through Partick and Finneston all the way to the ground. Alternatively, subway to Bridge Street then First Bus 3 or 38, Stagecoach 4. Alight at Holmbank Avenue and 3 minute walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Was looking at my iPhone to check how long it would take to get to Newlandsfield Park, and it volunteered the information that the stadium was also known as the Camp New. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legend Blows Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Have we bawsed up the signings of Clarke & McPherson or is it just coincidence that they're nowhere to be seen on the above. 🤔 Sure others are missing but I've no bothered ma shirt to check before posting this.

Maybe still contracted to Celtic until the 30th? But the loan deal ended in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert's Ghost Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Right - who was the trialist? If you don't know - just make something up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Someone on P&B was saying we had a guy called Izuogo Chibueze on trial, he uses the same agency as Loughrey. I’m sure the agency account on instagram posted a photo of both of them in pre season. Dunno if it was him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several players missing, Clarke, McPherson, Crawford, Diack, Mackay Steven, Henderson, Dempsey, and Drozd. You’d struggle to find any highlights but generally that’s standard for the first preseason game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 Was not there so can only go by what others have said and it seems that all the new signings were in attendance as was McPherson which maybe supports the thought that he will sign up but has to wait until start of July but does appear that Clarke won't be joining. I will, of course, defer to those who are "in the know". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
