Think I will take a wee trip down to Meadowbank today and watch Edinburgh City. Some Hibs interest too!

Edinburgh City

Wasnt the best was it? The only real entertainment was provided by Citys under 11 drummer and his mob and Arbroaths crew of about 10 that rose to the challenge.
Really poor game.
Incidently most of those going through the turnstyle seemed to be Hibs and Hearts fans taking advantage of the reduced entrance price for season ticket holders.

You can still watch them in the Lowland League if relegated.

The way I see it is, any team that has our players on loan I want them to do well because it will help our players out on loan. Couldn't see anyone choosing Edinburgh city over hibs or even the sh**e from Gorgie well.. I would choose to support Edinburgh city if it was down to them and Edinburgh city .. but you get what I mean. So that being said.. good luck to them.

The Edinburgh City that plays now shares the name with the club that played home games at City Park in the Scottish League in the 1930s and Juniors in the 1940s, but they are two distinct entities. The old club went out of existence in the 1950s. The new Edinburgh City were in fact Postal United, a club that played in the East of Scotland League. Postal changed their name to Edinburgh City; can't recall when but Postal were still playing as Postal in the 1980s.
Postal played at the Civil Service Sports Ground at Marine Drive. I can't recall if they played as Edinburgh City there. I only remember Edinburgh City playing at Fernieside before they moved into Meadowbank. It was the Meadowbank move that got them full membership of the SFA, and the rest is history.
Good luck to them.

edit. Having googled it you appear to be correct. City will have to share with someone else while the stadium is being redeveloped. The fact that the new one is only going to have 500 seats means it's not really going to be a viable option if they want to progress as a club.Last edited by lord bunberry; 08-01-2017 at 04:59 PM.

Yeah, I read the plans before Christmas and they are pretty detailed too. Looks quite exciting.Think Edinburgh City will need to look for alternative accommodation sometime soon.
On a side note, I wonder what will happen to the 4G pitches and Leith Athletic who play there? These are fairly new pitches and were funded by the PoC Act.

Why should we wish potential rivals well. They use the old Loch Inn as a social club and its open on our match days.
There are Hibs fans using it pre match instead of the Hibs Club or the Behind the Goals thereby taking income from HFC and the supporters club.

City serve a nice pint of Belhaven, decent screens to watch the early game, and you can get a seat.
What's not to like!

Normally I'd have wished City well but Arbroath were my local team growing up.

BTG is rancid. Stale wishy washy lager and a crap atmosphere.
As for the Hibs Club, blazered goons.
Punters should use the pubs down ER, Leith Walk and surrounding areas. Nothing better pre and post match.
