Had a lot of postponed games last year, including Cowdenbeath v Dunferlime. EEP is the only SPL ground I never visited. Wanted to do it against Raith Rovers (was at the reversed fixture in 2009-> http://www.doingthe116.com/raithrovers.htm) and that was brilliant.The good thing about Scotland are the ground. Somerset Park, Palmerston Park and Cappielow Park are in my personal top ten.<br /><br />Next trip to Scotland is for the SFA Cup. Hope to do the Dundee v Kilmarnock/Forfar v Aberdeen double on saturday and Peterhead or Arbroath (depends on for which games I can get tickets for) on sunday. Three new grounds and nice games for me. Hope the weather will be a bit softer this time.<br /><br />Cheers, JorisJorishttp://www.doingthe116.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701182894500848247.post-84030034594708226012011-12-03T17:23:20.170+00:002011-12-03T17:23:20.170+00:00Hi Joris
Thank you for your comments.
Doing the ...Hi Joris<br /><br />Thank you for your comments.<br /><br />Doing the 42 from The Netherlands? Now that would be an achievement, and a pricey one at that, I should imagine.<br /><br />As for grounds here, whatever else you think about Glasgow's Ugly Sisters, and the damage they have done to Scottish Football over the decades, one cannot argue both of their grounds are impressive places.<br /><br />For charm you cannot beat Brechin City, with the cute hedge running along one side, but my favourite has to be a full East End Park (which does not happen terribly often, admittedly).<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />IanIan38018https://www.blogger.com/profile/11341931294270709775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2701182894500848247.post-47302397077797351932011-12-02T16:07:29.668+00:002011-12-02T16:07:29.668+00:00Congrats.

Hope to finish the 42 as well some day, but living in The Netherlands and most games on saturday 15:00 is making it a bit harder ;-)<br /><br />Which was your favourite ground to visit?
