PaleGreySky Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 What has everyone got planned for saturday? A couple of pals and myself are heading up on the 8am bus from Edinburgh, then heading over to Peterculter from there. Did a bit of research, and it seems that the Richmond Arms is the destination of choice at 15 mins walk from the ground. Hopefully, we'll make it there for a bit after noon. We're also booked up on the 8pmish trains back south to Glasgow and Edinburgh, so I'd expect a return to the Richmond Arms and then a cruise through the streets/pubs of Aberdeen and make sure they remember we exist. Can't wait. Also, just out of interest, is anyone else of the flag owners taking theirs up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 For those of an age wishing to use the train mind the Club 55 is in operation. £19 an open return from anywhere in Scotland to & fro Aberdeen. Fairly sure buses from Union Sq to Culter are every 20 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Earl of Hathaway Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Picked up my tickets from the office this afternoon (Hi Maxy!). City centre bus hopefully arrives in Peterculter with a bit of time to spare. The ground is pretty far out from the centre of Peterculter itself. Do they have a social club? Predicted weather is balmy, so (a) game should be on ( shouldn't be too bad for standing about.....I see there's a pitch beside the ground. Anyone bringing a ball for a kickabout?

The Legend Blows Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Agreed, Pollok looked quite tidy at times. Assuming we go in with the right attitude and the fact that half our team started off playing at such a duff level I'm going for an early prediction of 5-1 Thistle.

Woodstock Jag Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Despite having emailed on Thursday, I suspect I won't be able to get tickets for this because for some reason or another the email was never responded to. Tried following it up by emailing Ami again but to no avail and it looks like they're sold out now anyway. Shame really as I was going to be up in Aberdeen for the weekend separately.

ian_mac Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Pollok had a really good team round about then, Dingwall and Downs had a great partnership up front and Pollok were the dominant force in the juniors. All change now though and they've been very poor the last few times I've seen them. Saturday's match SHOULD be routine for Thistle as from what I've heard Culter are very poor even by junior standards. However, it will be a massive culture shock even for our players and I really hope they show a decent work rate right from the kick off. All I can say is, with our away form I'd be really worried about visiting Spartans this weekend, who I think would give us a real game.

I picked up my ticket just as the last one was being sold. So only those reserved remained. Must say Ami responded immediately to my e mail. Surely worth a phone call to Ian or Ami. If I was going to be up in Aberdeen regardless I'd take a trip out to Culter. I'd be kinda surprised if you can't get a view of the game from outside and there's every chance you'd get in anyhow.

McKennan Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 This poor old sod won't be home from Friday's shift until 1am on Saturday, so no-holds barred snooze on the World Domination Bus is likely.

Must have been an issue with my email account if I never got confirmation. Off to Firhill to get them now. It's a swally on Friday for my dad's birthday and then the hangover shock at Crombie Park!

honved Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I take it that Hutton won't be playing in this match? Looks like a good chance for Bannigan to get a full 90 minutes with the first team. I will be hoping to get a place near the front where I can see the game.
