I went down to watch the Greenock Murray club Apprentice boys and Greenock Grenadiers do the return leg but it was cancelled as the got soaked in Airdrie. Weather was atrocious at some points to be honest. Marchers were soaked to the skin - some for the second time of the day after their morning walk. Maybe (if true) Greenock didn't fancy marching again after being in soaking wet gear for hours? Would be the first time I have heard of a parade being cancelled due to weather / cold / wet right enough. As for the band plumbGer - they have a bit to go but decent numbers. Sounded decent - could do with working on their marching. A bit out of line/step at times, but they are a young band so good luck to them!

Well the hardest part these days is getting the numbers so they have plenty to work on. My old man said pretty much the same, he was out with them at 8am for the first part of their day before they went through to Airdrie. They have a sash bash fundraiser on next week in the Greenock Rangers so i will probably go along to that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPB great as always. Airdrie Grenadiers are a great little band now. Pollok and Pride of the Grange also stood out for me. Airdrie Grenadiers always parade with us at East Of Scotland. Great band. Know a few lads who have went down from north east. They've done 3 parades today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
