That could generate a ticket scramble - don't think their capacity is all that big.

Hope you guys were well gone by the time we arrived on the way back - saw one poor sod take a hell of a leathering outside MacKays Bar on the main street wooofft

Yes, a promising start it has to be said.

On first half performance - Johnson by a country mile (Second half totally faded out of the game) - overall though Keeeeth was the man, gets better and fitter with age.

Lol gawn yoursel wee man - a picture for every occasion ha ha!!!!

Oops sorry thought you meant one who played. That said my grandson identified all the subs who warmed up in front of us, so if there was a trialist he was kept well under wraps.

There wasn't one.

Not long back. PNE were far better than a mid table SPFL team as suggested by some. Big and physical and quick to move the ball forward. A really good test. Team played well particularly second half, when we played some really nice one touch football, just the final ball was lacking, but promising nonetheless. If Marv and Lionel can carry their form from this game into the season we'll be a thrilling team moving forward. Both Fletcher and Moult offered plenty, but neither were guilty of missing clear cut chances - despite what the twitter feed might have indicated. The chances first half fell predominantly to Johnson, with their keeper carrying off a couple of decent saves. Second half a long range Ainsworth effort and a close range McDonald effort were our best chances (both excellently fielded by the PNE keeper, McDonald's turned onto the post) prior to Moult's excellent finish near the end. Came away very heartened by the performance, particularly as there seem to be plenty of options throughout the squad to change formations and tactics without disrupting the rhythm of the team. Thought Pearo had a triffic last 10 minutes when he took over centre midfield duties from Keith. Young Watt came on as a sub and slotted quite seamlessly into the back four and looked assured, composed and for a fairly short fella good in the air. He can also pick a pass when the need arises, witnessed by several arrow straight deliveries to both Lionel and Marv. Mention to for Jack Leitch who was ever eager to get on the ball and looks to have benefited from the change in fitness regime (looks to have added a yard in pace). All in all quite encouraged by what I saw.

Other than 'Flow - is there anyone else left lol. The number of changes, throughout the club are quite remarkable.

Know what the other strange thing is? You're supposed to be working !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh c'mon save me a trawl through the thread - which Leicester boy? lol

Certainly less choreographed, and of course less razzamatazz. @weeyin - I had forgotten about Kendo (oh how could I).

The Royal Brothers, Jackie Pallo, Kent Walton (Commentator) - defo a generation thing. Saturday afternoon World of Sport at 4.00 o'clock. Definitely think that's where the nickname comes from.

Never even heard of a Glasgow 'Supporters' Club - anyone other than the OP a member?

£50.00 sent. Well done for organising again.

Absolutely cracking - both of them.

Yeah that was my recollection too.

That definitely was the Sunstroke mate.

Bang on - think it was actually a league cup tie (might even have gone to penalties - though don't quote me). Do remember it being a scorcher and sitting out on the open terracing behind the goals at Kilbowie.

That's right Rickoza - but according to Wikipedia (I know accuracy isn't always it's greatest attribute), he also played for them 57 times prior to moving to PNE, from where we got him. EDIT - Clydebank FC official website records 65 appearances, from 1991 to 1994.

Happens every year - or at least it seems like it. Not one for replica strips but grandson's and niece's are and we have seldom managed to get hold of one for them before they went off on holiday - normally around July time.

Defo back row W Welldaft - the only thing wrong with the Cooper can be the lack of an atmosphere at times, though on Submarine Sunday it was rocking. Agree about the challenge of seeing what's happening at other end, but my failing eyesight doesn't help either - thank goodness for my grandson and niece. You certainly get a different perspective of the game, especially when both teams decide to play in only 1 half of the park, leaving the other completely empty. Seriously wish our manager would sit in the Cooper and watch how much the game gets squeezed into half the width of the park. Would think row N would give an uninterrupted view of the park (if in the middle), just be careful when getting to your seat and watch that our players aren't taking part in their shooting practice routine.

Signed a 2 year deal recently.

Might even have been the other way round - wasn't known as Uncle Phil, until PO'D re-joined (Clarkson already being here).

Glad to see our 'scouting system' has unearthed a hidden gem - from the "can I join in with your pre-season training and hopefully get a deal" set-up. Totally underwhelmed by that one, not even as a back-up. Though happy to be proved wrong.
