Title: Re: aberdeen. ironsides city Post by: Rod Paradise on November 10, 2006, 11:41:30 AM They were a good team under Ferguson (although he inheirited most of his players) - my Dad used to drag me along to watch them now and again. I started going to the games I really wanted to see with the Celtic club just at the end of Ferguson's time there.
Title: Re: aberdeen. ironsides city Post by: madasahatstand on November 10, 2006, 11:44:16 AM yes ive been to elgin and to aberdeen city. went to lovely sicilian called 'rustico' and had a beautiful meal for brads birthday in the city. ive been right around grampian and its all really nice. i liked cruden bay too but had no time to see the big castle. i will the next time.
ive got one more afternoon of work here after a lunchtime meeting then back on monday. its been great. did you know 80% of grampian is open countryside with 20% forresty or wood? even the towns and built up parts are lovely. a real contrast to Glasgow. again, as ive said before, its the cleanest city ive ever been too and i would come back for pleasure in a minute. ive still not seen the auroroa borealis though:( Title: Re: aberdeen. ironsides city Post by: madasahatstand on November 10, 2006, 11:45:02 AM are they playing mid-week next week? i might go if so.

Title: Re: aberdeen. ironsides city Post by: thetank on November 10, 2006, 12:07:39 PM No, Elgin is to the North, Montrose is to the South.
Both smell of fish though ;D Title: Re: aberdeen. ironsides city Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 10, 2006, 02:00:15 PM ive still not seen the auroroa borealis though:( Sounds more like a Hearts player than an Aberdeen one to me!
