Hoppers Do It Together
A Change of Plans Today we will be venturing to the Scottish capital to watch the crucial game between Hearts and Aberdeen. This will be our second trip to Tynecastle, the first review is in the link below. It details the game against Motherwell from the 2021/22 league campaign. With groundhopping, you never quite know…
From the Beano to the Binos Following last weekend’s trip to Dundee, home of the Beano, we were now travelling to the home of the Binos. Stirling Albion is a club I have deliberately saved for a time when we could spend a couple of days in the city. Why? There is just so much…
