The Stirling Albion Pre Match Thread

[Guest SOOLIVAN]

I dont see what everyone's getting excited about,this will be a walk in the park and a welcome break from the pressure of the SPL, cant begin to think we might not win this one.

Was cleaning out a cupboard of old videos today, came across County (including a very young Barry Wilson) beating Forfar (with Bobby Mann and David Bingham).

[Guest MIFTHEBINO]

Unless we sign a striker before this game then I think we will be struggling. We only have one fit striker at the moment after Dene Shields returned to Gretna and Ian Cashmore is out injured.

Smiths resteraunt for a drink is about 10-15 mins away from the ground. Closest pub is the resteraunt next Forthbank that has a pub area.

Should be a good game none the less and hopefully you guys can bring a good support down with you. :001:

If you are looking for a match report on Saturday, then check out www.stirlingalbion.com and there is a forum there as well. :022:

I've had a word with the owner of Smith's bar (closest pub to the stadium) and they are happy to have us in for a few bevvies, only a walk away from forthbank

Soo-pah. What about wearing team colours/kids etc?

[Harry Chibber]

Try that EWS!!

Yeh they are fine with team colours  :003:

[RiG]

Might just be me but Gazs links aren't working.

Here are directions from the Station to le Pub.

*click*

And Le Pub to Le Stade

That's odd. Neither of mine are either!  :015:

[Harry Chibber]

Yeh feck knows what's happening, anyway it is in the industrial estate opposite the renault garage, I think... you can't really miss it, it's the only pub in a 2 mile radius

[RiG]

This might help?

[Dmacca]

Dont need any thrills a scrappy 1-0 win would be good, 3 wins in 4 matches would be a good return after the previous batch of matches pre Rangers.

[EWS]

Cheers guys, should be at least me and one other going.

[Guest MIFTHEBINO]

Sorry guys, but to say Smiths is the only pub in a two mile radius is wrong. There is the Halfway House that is closer and like I mentioned above the resteraunt across from the stadium that most away/and some home fans drink at.

Additional Directions to Forthbank

Looking forward to this one now. :021:

Personally, I think CC should rotate the squad a bit and give a few of the players such as Bayne a rest from their recent hectic festive fixtures.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

You really are making an *** of yerself.  :001:

[Stirling Observer]

Personally i wouldnt go to smiths, its a bit out the way and also an ex county managers connection.  Nothing against the pub but think a booze up in town then taxi out is the best solution.

I presume the Halfway would be packed with binos.

There a range of pubs in town, as H.C said O'neils, good pub, 1 min walk from train station, Sportsters, plenty of screens, Varsity, cheap food and drink if u buy a card for 2 quid and plenty seats and screens.

Not 100% on what these pubs policy is on kids getting in though

[Harry Chibber]

It's also what pubs will stand for team colours, most pubs in Stirling have quite a strict policy...

[L_G]

HC If you have spoken to smiths and they are happy to have us then that sounds pretty cool.  Quite like the restuarant idea, but probably no colours allowed.  Is there a Happy Horse type place about there?

[The Mantis]

I'm sure I've been in that restaurant thingy before a game. It was walking distance. Is it like one of these Brewer's Fayre type of pubs?

[L_G]

Not a Happy Horse but I think it might be a Hungry Horse, I was close.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

May I suggest that we try them all?

[Strathman]

Talking of that game in the eighties has any manager been sacked more times than Alex Smith? I think Stirling Albion was the last one he left of his own accord and yet doubtless there will be folk punting for the Hun Job to "steady the ship."

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

He totally debased and ridiculed himself when he chose to go to Dungwall. The man has no feckin self respect. Still, give him his due, he fair fecked them up.  :015: :015: :015:

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Does this sway any one?
