The Mighty Quinn Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Is Cartdyke still the "Drumgelloch" of Greenock, i.e. populated by wee neds trying to act like hardmen after their team has been gubbed, with any polis who are anywhere near wishing they weren't and doing nothing?

Guy Incognito Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 How are you travelling? If by train, it's the turnstyles nearest the train station. If driving, it's the turnstyles furthest away(nearest Greenock) I'll be on the train. I take it you mean the set of turnstiles you come to when you go under that wee bridge thingy?

little_miss_jag Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'll be on the train. I take it you mean the set of turnstiles you come to when you go under that wee bridge thingy? Since you are going by train I wouldn't worry too much, depending what train you get there tends to be alot of fans - just follow the red and yellow and you wont go wrong really! As ian mac said the 2.05 gets you in for 2.45, perfect time really, the less time spent there the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G SUS Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'll be on the train. I take it you mean the set of turnstiles you come to when you go under that wee bridge thingy? When you get off the train, cross the bridge, follow the lane, 2nd on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partick monkey Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've managed to persuade a decent sized group of acquaintances and hingers oan to join me on this jaunt to Greenock. These people don't really follow the fitba but are willing to cheer on The Jags as its my birthday and I telt them to. Our plan involves the 1330 from central to Cartsdyke and then going for a pre-match in the Norseman. After reading the above post I'm beginning to think this is a shite idea.... It's no that bad in the Norseman... Is it?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin1876 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'll be getting the 13:35 from Central, mainly because I don't remember there being many turnstiles at Cappielow so a big crowd could lead to a big queue close to kick-off. Also, as long as it's not pelting with rain, I don't mind being there for a while, I just read the programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Well, quite a lot of us got ourselves along to Cappielow. And the team did what they so often do......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meister Jag Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 can we no all stand in their shed at the side of the park and stage our own version of agincourt again? de ja vu? As we basked in the sunshine yesterday, I looked at the rickety Morton shed and recalled bottles whizzing by my head and charges that were met by counter charges as both sets of supporters fought for control of the strategic Cappielow shed. Things you'll do to get out of the rain on a cold midweek night. Happy days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 That was my first visit to Cappielow in around 10 years, and I actually enjoyed it, apart from the result. Rickety old stand, the continental-style benches with no cover behind the goal, historic toilets and refreshment facilities. I actually really like the look of the combined standing and seated areas in the old shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
