Probable date beginning Tuesday 12th July. A few I spoke to tonight are very much up for this. Of course this is to be confirmed. My fishing rod is packed :D

Struggle midweek but would definitely be up for it if it was a long weekend.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Mmmm? hard to say - but it does look like there's room for more beer!

Marky you are never working yet own your own business. What a life. Sit on your arse and travel around the UK every weekend rolling in the profits other people make for you. What a life ;) Give us some cash :oops:

How about a trip to Huntly FC in Aberdeenshire? Bit of a mission....but at least we'd be able to see the Shrimps play at Christie Park again! 8-)

As Sammy says I have not got an MFC plate or a Life Season ticket like you have ;)

Anyway back to topic. Dundee, St. Johnston, Dunfermline, Falkirk or Arbroath anybody?

It was mentioned last night there would be the single game on the Tuesday. Perhaps it could be Queen of the South as we played them a few years ago at CP and paid for Sean O'Connor's medical bills for 2 years. :lol:

It would be great if we could get it Over a long weekend so more people would attend. Maybe the club could sell travel/hotel packages?

I would definitely be up for it should it happen! Back from my jollies on the 8th July, am I in time?

Now maybe I've been caught hook, line and sinker...but they are in fact in England so I don't think that constitutes a tour of Scotland.

Was close with Dunfermline, so Raith Rovers on July 12th it is. Looking forward to it :D
I think the 4 days looks like a bonding session for the players. I can imagine they will be nipping up the road for a quick round of golf 8-)

There is a tournament arranged up there for the weekend after on July 16th/17th where Raith will be in the hat against East Fife, Dundee and the Shrimpers from Southend.

It's a bit of a trek for anyone wanting to go shame it wasn't a team on the west coast of scotland or round Glasgow.

I can recommend an excellent B&B in S Queensferry, 20 miles away from Raith Rovers.. Bus stop a minute away and train station about 10 mins away walking with regular trains into Edinburgh should the other half decide to spend your money instead of watching football. Only downside is breakfast times, 8-9 at weekends.

Direct trains from S Queensferry (Dalmeny) to Kirkcaldy. It's got me thinking about another trip up there especially if it can be timed with a team meeting with a colleague in Dalmeny ;)

Some nice, old pubs in the village and we found everyone friendly, even sat between Motherwell and Celtic fans on cup final day.

£75/night which you'll find is quite cheap for the area.

You're not wrong there! A quick look earlier and I was struggling to find hotels under £80.

3hrs 9 minutes if you go on the train from Lancaster 12/7, with just the one stop in Edinburgh. Singles from £64, however if you buy a family railcard ( £26 I think - could be very useful next season) and catch the 11:14 then the price is only £24

You'll get there OK on the train but if you stay to the end then you'll be back in Lancaster at 05:39 Wednesday after a 5 hour train ride to Preston and an hour's sleep on Preston station before a train back to Lancaster.
