Mecca, do you know if there is parking for disabled fans at the ground?

Hiya TTT. The ground has a car park next to the main stand. It is for officials, I think but there might be blue badge spaces. Give the club a call in the morning to confirm 01259 219596. The AAFC chairman sold the former stadium car park to Lidl for a new supermarket...

There are restrictions to parking on matchday in nearby streets - including my own! - but TBH I don't know how they can enforce it.

Alternatively, there is a business park on Bruce Street. That's the street just past the stadium as you drive into town from the east. They usually have a bouncer on the gate, but might let a blue badger park.

There is a retail park before the stadium with a Morrisons car park, I'm sure you could park there - it's a 3-5 min walk from the ground.

Hope this helps mate - got a bit of blue badge parking experience myself ;-)

Pretty well hacked off that i cant get through for this! Its shaping up to be a very good away day with some players who have something to prove.

Anybody know the boozer situation for Alloa tomorrow? Where are we taking over?

What Colin_DUFC said :-)

Ground is 5-10 mins walk from boozers. The ones in town, from closest:

The Thistle - Closest to ground. Won't have food on as the cook is ill. Has a lounge and has a guid bar. Not huge but not wee either. Think The Balmore... 5-7 mins fae ground
The Old Brewery - Big Belhaven pub. Big TV wide range of booze. Does food 6-8 mins fae ground
Crams - Guid, tiny pub. On Candleriggs. 8 mins tae ground
The Bobbing John - Huge Wetherspoons boozer. It does have Sky, maybe not Sports, but the TV is a tiny wee thing. Does food.6-8 mins fae ground
The Star - Guid boozer in town centre. Right next door to the Bobbing John. 6-8 mins fae ground
The Station - Soulless pub on Primrose Street 6-8 mins fae ground
Peppes - Celtic-minded pub in town. Opposite town hall. It's a dive but if ye need to wet the whistle... 8-10 mins fae ground
The Royal Oak - Guid pub, attached to a hotel. A bit wee and furthest away from the ground. Maybe as a last resort, but it has a pool table and a good vibe. 10-12 mins fae ground

How's the weather there now Mecca?

Been maybe 3" before a wee thaw. So wet snow on ground.

Started snowing again about half four. Another inch or so. Sky still cloudy, but it stopped after about half an hour.

Not sure how it'll go tonight, said no more snow on Met Office app earlier, but it did... the issue is now clearing skies and ice...

Will keep you all posted - don't shoot the messenger :-)

Thin snow/rain on and off. Heard that AA were clearing the ground in the afternoon

Dont live in Alloa or stirling but have heard this game is very likely to be called off. However, stenny and stirling games already called off so should get some indication by 9 am. Ref pitch inspection at 12 bizarrely

[LSArab]

Pitch inspection at 12!?!

That is crazy

Can’t the ref get out of his bed earlier!!

[Charlie arab]
