my tuppence worth on ICT....support your local teams or you'll loose them.
My first love will always be the horrible toffees but my family have supported the dandies through thin and thinner.
It's my local btw.
You can see it from my house...Cove is the otherside of town.

Exactly more people should support their local team. Ive supported Queen's Park all my life, as my Dad supported them and his Dad and his Dad etc and other family members since way back in the year dot and some of us have been ball boys, played for them, been club members, season ticket holders etc as its in the blood. When we were in the bottom league over the years and going to places like Stranraer, Arbroath, Montrose, East Fife, Stirling Albion etc and having a walk through the town before the game and seeing most people wearing Rangers or Celtic shirts and not their local clubs shirts or even going to the game even if its just to watch a game of football on a saturday afternoon and support their local team financially if they werent going to Ibrox or Parkhead it used to annoy me why dont they support their local team thats on their doorstep and am amazed that more lower league clubs havnt been lost because of that.

Off to see Falkirk v Dunfermline tomorrow, sold out derby game always a bit of needle.
The Bairns going well would be good to see them back in the SPL but a long way to go and I think it's going to be a good scrap in the championship for the top spot.

Falkirk going well at the moment, looks like a battle of the artificial pitches in the championship, hate Livingston's pitch,not sure what Falkirks is like?

Kilmarnock getting rid of their's and going back to grass next season with the SPFL banning artificial surfaces in the top league, if they manage to gain promotion Falkirk will have to do likewise or they'd miss out as happened before when their stadium was too small?

Enjoy the game, should be a nailed-on win for Falkirk tomorrow.

First time I'd been for a couple of years, what a transformation, lovely football, fantastic atmosphere great result.
Yeah, great attendance, Falkirk sold out, away end 3/4 full.
The Bairns fans think Livi will be their main challengers.

@blueloon some game at Elgin...

Dead to me since they pinched Buckie’s best player , CB Jack Murray . I have quite a few mates who watch Elgin and are pleased with their form this season , but the closest I get is the Saturday morning parkrun which runs past their ground on the River Lossie cycle path a few times! I’d rather watch Highland League, football is obviously a lower standard but as you get to know the teams over the years it’s nice to see some class players returning, new introductions etc in other teams.

A few “ Junior” clubs in there like Irvine Meadows and Dundee North End all hoping for the big pay day if they reach the 4th round.
I remember in the distant past there was briefly an “ East Stirlingshire Clydebank “ team from which Clydebank emerged. Some tough fixtures for the remaining Highland League clubs .
