jaggillistas de españa Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am huge thistle fan who now lives in Spain and this saturday i will be bringing over 8 spanish friends for thier first taste of scottish football. iam hoping the thistle away support will be as large and as noisey as i fondly remeber from my younger days when i would go every week, and that my mates all get to experience that special thistle away-day atmosphere. please make them feel welcome. Question: what pubs in kirkcaldy do you recommend for before the match? and can i ask that the photographers look out for us as one of your great crowd shots with us in it would make a cracking souvenier of our trip. see you all on saturday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_miss_jag Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Are you getting the train btw? Just a heads up but the Rugby is on in Edinburgh so Queen street will be extremely busy with a queue for the train. Possible drinking ban too Edited February 7, 2013 by little_miss_jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might take a slower train, the one that goes via Livvy, since it *should* be quieter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_miss_jag Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm slightly tempted to go via Perth. Avoid the entire carnage. I never thought of that, after a quick google an extra £2.40 for fare that actually seems like a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G SUS Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I never thought of that, after a quick google an extra £2.40 for fare that actually seems like a good idea! Works out at around £27. Cheaper if you have one of those railcard things. Probably worth it for a hassle free trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Railcard and aye it is £17.15, Get the 9.41 to Perth and the 11 oclock train to Kirkcaldy, getting you in for 11.38 - wee walk to the Novar in time for lunch! You have sold me on this idea! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 For the first season in living memory, home games have a better atmosphere than away games. Long live the North Stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of Gerry Britton being at the game? Would be great if some of his subjects could meet the King of Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck snort Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Fingers crossed the game is on. Sounds like the pitch is in a right state. http://www.fifetoday...-this-1-2779478 Edited February 7, 2013 by Duck snort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 "Players will have to realise that they can’t run with the ball or pass it along the ground in certain areas of the pitch." Sounds like it's going to be punt after punt after punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryHell Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 If there's any positive to take it's at least we are getting this game out the way while the pitch is just starting to deteriorate. It's our last trip to Starks this season and most teams are still to pay them a visit, including Dunfermline, Morton and Livi. The pitch is only going to get worse. Hopefully the fact we've got a new management team to impress will pull us over the line on this one. 3 points would set up our trip to Cappielow nicely, especially if Airdrie can take anything against Morton.

Sounds like it's going to be punt after punt after punt. If Burkina Faso and Ghana could play well on a sand pitch in the Africa Cup of Nations, then surely the Jags can play well on the mud of Kirkcaldy!

simoncordiner Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Fox O'Donnell Muirhead Balatoni Sinclair Paton Bannigan Welsh Erskine Forbes Craig That's one strong team. And a winning team. Close game, narrow victory for the mighty Jags. And a winning start for Archie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 He might not risk O'Donnell as a starter. I think I would go with that team and put himself on the bench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
