    Dunbar United on Tuesday

    I see we're playing Dunbar again with our development side heading there on Tuesday, third year in a row? Seems to be an annual fixture now.

    There facilities are incredible and put Edinburgh City's to shame. How have they just sprung up from nowhere to regularly attract crowds of 500+ ???

    I was looking at the fixture and they seem to have a good sized new stand too.

    They're doing a really good job of getting local people in to watch them. I know a Hearts fan who has given up his season ticket to get one with Dunbar and has started going home and away.

    I think they'll rise up the leagues as Dunbar itself is growing every day with new houses.

    I also know a Jambo who’s done the same. Any excuse not to have to watch Hearts though I suppose 😂

    I love that Hibs are putting in some money into the local clubs

    They’re a brilliant club in a great area, great little stadium and being able to get a pint in Hallhill is a bonus.

    My laddie plays for the colts team in Dunbar and they’re regularly invited to be mascots/ball boys .

    They were invited along to be mascots for the last game of the season when Dunbar won the league and they were all on the pitch with the players as they celebrated and lifted the trophy. A proper community club, it’s an experience you won’t really get, understandably, following Premiership teams.

    Edit: Just to add on to that, the colts team had their annual festival a couple weeks back and Martin Boyle came down to hand out the medals, he was fantastic and stayed way longer than he had to, taking photos and signing everything for anyone that wanted it.

    My son played against Dunbar Colts at 9s this season, and I have to say the pitch they played on is second to none quality wise. Seems to be a really good setup out there, just a shame they can't seem to get refs to come out to Dunbar for their games!

    Does Boyler not have a connection with Dunbar Utd. Dunbar Haddington and Tranent all have a bigger population than Dingwall so who knows with money invested we might see them all in the senior leagues.

    Just heard this might not be going ahead if the weather continues much longer, pitch is being drenched very quickly.

    The rain is bouncing off the pavement in Dunbar right now, it’s to ease off by kick off but the pitch might not be playable.

    If the rain is going west to east then my part of West Lothian has just been hammered which might spare Dunbar that particular cloud.

    It will be fine, the rains off and Dunbar have a brilliant grass surface.

    Forecast between 6-8 is for very heavy rain, much heavier than the rest of the day. I was going to head down but having second thoughts

    Yes, an argument that has been used many times. However, whilst Ross County are based in Dingwall the team have supporters across the whole of Ross & Cromarty (population of circa 50,000) and beyond. Supporters travel from many of the Highland towns to Dingwall to watch the team.

    With an average home attendance of circa 4,400 (capacity 6,500), I think Ross County are doing pretty well to attract the local support, topped up by the large support from the Old Firm, the Edinburgh teams and Aberdeen.

    The Premiership's highest average 2022/23 attendance figures from Celtic and Rangers to Livingston and Ross County - Football Scotland
