Radford 72 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 A first competitive visit to Links Park since February 1988 awaits Saints this weekend, which will undoubtedly mean a first visit there for a couple of generations of fans. An exciting prospect, whilst for other fans it will bring back memories of old. The Gable Endies opened their campaign with an impressive win at Falkirk and if they beat East Fife on Tuesday, it'll put real pressure on Saints to get the three points against last season's League Two champions. A plastic pitch so I wouldn't expect Steven Anderson to feature for Saints, maybe Murray Davidson too. Maybe a start for one of the young midfielders?

RandomGuy Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Is parking easy near the ground? Tempted to go to tick it off the list. Wouldn't mind see McCann beside Davidson as an experiment, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Parking is pretty easy in Montrose, no restrictions on the streets around the ground really. Loads of places within a 5 minute walk of the ground to dump a car. Pitch is pretty awful. am goin' Edited July 16, 2018 by montrosesaintee RandomGuy, HOODLUM65, Dave Ferg and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Remember going to Montrose in the late 1950's. Went by a special train. Saints won 1 - 0 (Jimmy Walker) - I think!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Last time I went to Montrose we won the Forfarshire Cup there - pretty sure Steve Maskrey played for us (towards the end of his Saints career) so that dates it a bit. Not sure if I dreamt this or not but I have a memory that they'd knocked down their main stand (possibly to relocate it to the other side of the pitch?) but left the showers in tact, so there was a shower block in the middle of the terracing.

On the subject of Martin Buglione, he has just been named in the England Veterans squad! Another player who has had to leave Saints to get international recognition! blueheaven, HOODLUM65, garydavidson and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Martin Buglione im sure was from the south coast of England or possibly Isle of Wight and was signed on the back of scoring eighty odd goals for his non-league side in a season. Safe to say he didn't score that many for us. 11th May 1993.. Wouldn't that match have been played around the time we were relegated?

I remember us being promoted in 1990 and I thought we were 3 seasons in the premier before going back down? Obviously not.. ETA- just checked it was 1994. Wasn't that the relegation when rangers played Mark Hately at centre back and lay down against Killie(?) in the final game?

He was signed from Margate, and I think he returned to them shortly after leaving us and is still considered something of a club legend round that way. I'm sure I heard he was still involved with them in some way but can't find anything on that online.

I have a memory that Tommy Turner was captain for this and at the end he got fed up waiting for someone to come and present the Forfarshire cup so ended up just taking it from the table at side of pitch himself.

RandomGuy Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Massive game now, lose and we're out the League Cup at the earliest possible stage. "Just a competitive pre-season" game though, so hopefully we chuck a raft of youngsters in... Imagine a large support would help the team, so hopefully people travel to the game. Something a bit different and the game actually means something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
