Stranraer Roll Call

[+old caley girl]

Who is all going then? Me with a few other mad folk on a minibus for starters!

[RiG]

Looking forward to some merlot and salmon on the train with Top Six and Alternative Maryhill. Sadly ICTChris is still under weekend supervision by BTP so he won't make it.

[+Fraz]

I'll be there with my eldest.

[RossP]

Yep. Keeping an eye on the weather daily, as I'd hate for this one to be rescheduled!

[highlandexile]

Me, im one of the mad folk on old caley girls mini bus!

[Govan Jaggie]

Babysitting IHE for th trip. Meeting the 0930 Glasgow train in Paisley. Decent bunch getting on the one Red a Card, Capital Caley etc. should be a fun day.

[PandB]

P&B & 1 going, plan to go down night before. Train times on way back are pretty poor, so will drive. Will stay with the folks in central belt and return on Sunday.

Train times are great for a couple of hours enjoying the delights of Stranraer.  We just need to find them first.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I may have to go back on the Girls Mini bus as I have had so many massage requests.

[WYNESS101]

I'll be there hopefully with +1

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

How many will we take ? What kind of display are we having ? Are there restricted views ? Is the stadium in an Inner City area ?

[+old caley girl]

Just a few friends and your massage stand :-)

[TopSix]

Anyone bringing the drum down?

[PaderbornCaley]

On the 0938 train out of Glasgow with Govan Jaggie, RedCard, IHE, martinskye and iain. Singing voices at the ready ;)

[TopSix]

Heads up for those of you going early on the 'party train'. Someone on the Stranraer v ICTFC thread on Pie and Bovril mentioned dry trains.

He did mention dry trains. But nothing to suggest there‘s dry trains on Saturday. Seems there was a dry train for a random game against Ayr. Ayr would have brought a good sized crowd down.

With the weather forecast suggesting this game is in serious doubt, I'm starting to investigate other game(s) to go in the area to if (when) ours gets postponed   

[PaderbornCaley]

Not so sure about the weather. Wind forecast for Saturday is 20-25 mph. Strong! But playable. Showery Friday morning with sunshine Friday afternoon / dry Friday evening. Looks like from around midnight onwards on Saturday it‘s heavy rain. I suppose it depends on how heavy and how bad the pitch is. I‘m quite hopeful.

[+Naelifts]

Yep. Watching this. An early call off required if there is doubt.

I was in Central today and the only mention of dry trains was for Celtic v Aberdeen.

Predicting an Inverness Cup upset.

The Seer says otherwise.

But we're not playing in the Inverness Cup!

 

Interesting and scary stats quoted there : Stranraer have won 8 of their last 10 home games, ICT have only won 1 of our last 8 games.  On the face of it this tie seems ripe for an upset, but I'm fairly confident that Sunday has given our whole team a lift, and the desire for more cup success.

[RedCard]

Looking forward to this one
