drawn away to stenny in 3rd round. should be a stroll???

Motherwell v Newco! Now that will be interesting.

Stenny's keeper is Callum Reidford, who I'm pretty sure played some pre-season for us a few years ago whilst on trial. Might have been summer 2008? Did we sign Esson instead?

Looking forward to this train trip. Bring it on.

What is it not the preseason to the Division 1 season? He was here on trial for a little while, and played in a couple of friendlies IIRC. Think he was going to be back-up for Esson, but Butcher went with promoting Kyle Allison instead.

Yes, that's it. 2009.

Should be a decent game, nice to see the draw being kinder to us for a change!

Good chance to get a game away from Hampden semi, Stenny will no doubt be thinking the same, and they have home advantage. Did very well against the cup holders in the last round.

Another terraced away day......BANTER :D

Artificial pitch - when was the last time ICT played on one of those?

I was struggling to remember any times at all, but then I recalled that Dunfermline used to have one and I'm pretty sure we played on it in our first SPL season.

Back then Celtic were were publicly concerned about their players getting injured by the Pars pitch, and then got even more riled when John Yorkston famously responded that Bobo Balde injures more players than their pitch does!

It's on Stenhousemuir website that the game is on Tuesday 25th September with a 7.30pm kick off.

Balls. That's me out then.

hamilton have/had plastic pitch??

Had one - I think they were forced to replace it with grass when they joined the SPL, so we might never have played on it.

Currently I think Stenny, Alloa, Montrose, Forfar, Airdrie, Annan and Clyde have synthetic pitches. Spartans and Gala Fairydean too. As the technology keeps improving I can see them getting more and more common.

Tuesday 25^th September 2012

Kick off 7.45pm.

Tickets prices to be confirmed.

Plenty trains from Glasgow and only a tender return. Happy days

Have just realised that I am at a conference in Stirling that day, which finishes at 3.30. I guess that means either sitting in a pub in Stirling on my own for a few hours, or heading to Larbert, and finding a pub to sit in for a few hours, until the rest of the ICT contingent appears. Either way, the next day at work will probably be one to forget...

Think it'll be an early finish from work that day and then head through before rush hour

Think il give school the pie. I've only got 1 proper class that day anyway.

Il have permission of course. I'm a good student

I'm taking a half day. See you at 3.45

This team could be dangerous. They played very well in the last round and look physically fit and really pacy up front. One of the outstanding teams I saw on the post match videos..!

Yes, that's it. 2009.

I remember he played in that game at Brechin which I think was 5-0, but I was watching the game through a Ledaig-inspired haze so what do I know.

Reidford played as a trialist that day, as did Sanchez, Bulvitis, Stratford and another keeper, Kelly.

Not any more - got my dates mixed up. The Stirling one is next week; the one on the 25th is at Glenalmond College, somewhere in the middle of Perthshire. Looks like it'll be a taxi to Perth, a train to Stirling and then another train to Larbert if I'm going to make it. At least it might cut down on the time spent in the pub...

What time does the train leave Glasgow ??

Every 30 mins. I was thinking 1630.
