Game kicks off at 15:01 run out of pies at 15:08 I suppose it could have prompted the once popular "Who ate all the pies" chant!

That's a horrendous strip that CB are wearing and that looks like a soulless place to watch a football game.
Would have taken a point before hand but 3 has to be 3 next week.

This season was finished weeks ago. You can see the novelty of visiting these 'grounds' has wore off. A nothing club with no fans and we sit behind them in the table (albeit with games in hand).
We won't be doing much better next season either playing scared boring defensive football all the time. I truly fear for our future.

We had a huge support yesterday. Doesn't look like interest in going to away matches has worn off in the slightest. Just my opinion, of course.

Point I'm trying to make is I don't think people will be bouncing back to places like caley braves in the numbers they have been. 'ground' visited and ticked off type thing.

This first half we were awful yesterday. The Braves were carrying the ball out of their own half and at one point when they were doing it we didn't have a single player in their half. Taking the term "ten men behind the ball" to another level. In that first half Joe and Niyah looked like they were playing in Midfield. We were under the cosh from a very average Braves team for the majority of that half and we only created one or two chances, the best of which fell to Kaza when he managed to break through their defence but put the ball past the post when it looked easier to score . Can't blame him as he isn't a Striker and at least he managed to get through their defence unlike our strikers. I thought in the first half we showed them far too much respect and Sandy had us set up like we were playing an SPL side.
Things Improved in the second half and we created a few more chances and it was stonewall penalty for us and Niyah put us one nil up. I was very close to their penalty incident and the guy looked he like he dived and conned the ref. Their keeper had a great save and we had one cleared off line near end but make no mistake a draw was a fair reflection on the game. If someone had told me after we thumbed Dumbarton 5-1 last season that we would struggle to get out of own half against Caledonian Braves in the Lowland League the following season, I would have never have believed them and I don't think many of us would. I would like to see our forward players putting more pressure on players taking the ball out of defence in our remaining matches, when we try to play out the back at Cliftonhill opposition teams strikers don't give our defender's a minutes peace and we need to do same to them when we are away and we might turn draws into wins. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Oh regarding their stadium it reminded me of K-park, a dump but not near as bad as Edinburgh Uni which was a public park with a tiny shed to hold supporters.

Managers instant match reaction 100 appearances for Adam Fernie. Most of the time a solid 6/7 out of 10. Glad to still have him. Hope he works on his crossing though

At the moment we are subsidising buses and still have the novelty factor of visiting new grounds. I'd imagine that won't be the case next season.

Well over 150 Rovers fans there yesterday, if not more. Bus had 24 on it.
