ricksen92 460 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The place is a shitehole mostly tims and sheepshaggers. Bar right next to stadium with a few round the harbour, and along main street. Also leisure centre next to ground for parking and a beer or two.

I don't even recall getting as little as 350 anywhere .. even the tight ones were something like Annan (600), Dumbarton (900) sure even Forres Mechanics was almost a thousand. Was Forres that many and Annan that low? I remember Forres being the biggest struggle of them all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main event of the last ten years is they built a small Asda on the outskirts of town. It was a big Tesco. People are exaggerating, probably people who've never been there. I was up there recently working for a week and it's fine, no worse than some towns in the central belt or some parts of Glasgow. It also has a Wetherspoons, which is never a bad thing. I wouldn't live there though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One player in particular from their lot has reserved 60/70 tickets .. if they all do that for Rangers pals then it's no surprise the tickets have went sharp. Aye a boy from my work said even people that go every week aint getting a look in. Sponsors/Players/Staff have taken the full hit nearly.

I wouldn't live there though. I've been there. I'm certain it was a Asda but let's not argue over it... Yeah you're probably correct but it being "no worse" than some parts of central belt is hardly a ringing endorsement! All about opinions clearly but I find that stretch of coastline particularly bleak and depressing, add in the accent and the "depressed" fishing town feel and to me, it's a hellhole! And I've lived in Africa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've lived in Africa. Turns out they have both, so we'll call it a draw To be fair, the weather makes a massive difference in how you perceive a place. Most of the time it's dreech as fuck, but on the odd occasion the sun is shining you see the place in a completely different light. Same with Peterhead. Still wouldn't live in either of them though!

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,715 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I've just looked over a wall too. Found it not too difficult, wasn't particularly exciting and got a bit too bored too soon tbh. I'm not in Fraserburgh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no problems getting a pub rammed out, and that will be the locals at least. My Brother lives there and doesn't know a single bear or even anyone with a soft spot for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
