Just back from a visit near your neck of the woods - Buckie Thistle. Lovely little club

Their team manager works in the company next door to the one I do - he uses the team minibus to commute to and from work.

It's more a team Transit van, to be honest. Certainly no room for a toilet on board!

Hope they do well. Think the next round is coming up (may even be tomorrow). They are my team of the Scottish Highlands

For a wee while, I did the accounts for the company one of whose offices are located behind the goal at Keith FC. (Still are, though I've long since departed).
As I could choose my hours and work locations, I'd always make sure if I had to be at the Keith branch, it would be on a Saturday afternoon. Perfect view of the action from my desk

They've gone downhill a wee bit - like Huntly - it's the likes of Buckie, Formartine, Brora and Cove who are being funded by individuals who - well, it's the PL in action but on a much smaller basis. Not for me to criticise.

Anyway, good to see Rothes on the up and up after years in decline!
