That must have been done at some intermediate point during February 1979 since it only claims a "record" 15 pitch inspections at Kingsmills for that cup tie v Falkirk during that hellish Highland winter of 78-79. The final figure once all the inspections were done was 29 which I can verify because I have seen the referee's expenses claim - 29 x £2.50 = £72.50.

 

PS - in the end Jags lost!

I was at the game when it went ahead. Also got the belt of Mr Baillie for being spotted on tv on the news.
