Each year, I help lead a charity ride from the opponents on the last Southampton home game of the season’s ground, to St.Mary’s stadium. Over recent years, that’s been the Bet365 stadium in Stoke, The Etihad stadium ( Man City ) and the John Smith’s stadium in Huddersfield. It could be Sheffield United this year.
That’s the idea. So far we haven’t drawn Newcastle, and Carlisle aren’t in the premiership, so we can’t draw them. The funny thing is, that our idea is starting to catch on. We came across a bunch of riders from Man city’s supporters, on this year’s ride, who were riding from the Etihad to the Amex, because they’d seen us doing the Etihad to St.Mary’s last year.Great idea. Leave it to the fixture list , then go for it.
I was impressed....until I saw the obvious omission and then felt a bit sad for you, mate!
Probably around 50 I reckon. Ironically Rugby Park is probably the one I've been to least, but then I've never actually lived in Kilmarnock and growing up in Edinburgh meant I saw Ayrshires finest at Tynecastle and Easter Road more often as a boy.
There are a fair few which have a cheek calling themselves football stadiums!
I was up at Peterhead a few weeks ago. Watching football at the side of the pitch is a lousy way to see the game. OK for stuff happening near you but impossible to work out what's happening further away.
I've been to Rugby Park twice - to see us relegated then gubbed in the play offs. Can't say I have fond memories of the place.
Edinburgh teams aside, I think I've probably seen Killie play Falkirk most often. My memories are considerably more positive, but that relegation match took years off my life I reckon. I don't think I have ever been more tense at a game of football.
