LADTA @ The Marches Fundraiser -
Thanks |
|
 |
|
Thank you to
everyone who
contributed. Thanks
to
sponsors; Images
Hair Studio, Kenny's
Taxis, Euan McDavid
Bathrooms, Robert
Bennie & Sons, The
Black Bitch Tavern,
Cowie's Convenience
Store, Alistair M
Couper Electrical
Contractors,
Linlithgow Bowling
Club and Susan
Donaldson. Thanks to
Craig Turpin for
doing his top drawer
set for free and
also to all those
who helped out with
tickets, organizing,
setting up and
helping on the
night, you know who
you are!
We made just in
excess of £1,200
profit for our
2009 Marches Entry
which has more than
covered the cost of
the band and will
let us replenish the
£100 taken from the
funds in 2008 due to
the loss made that
year, confirming as
we thought that the
Marches Entry can
stand on its own
feet.

ATAC - Tennents Tartan Army Cup
Results |
|
|
|
Sadly our first
attempt at grasping
glory in the
Association of
Tartan Army Clubs
“Tenants Tartan Army
Cup” was brought to
a ruthless end as we
were scrubbed 7-0 by
EASTA (champions 7
seasons out of 9).
The result and the
“football” wasn’t
the best but a great
day was had by all.
Thanks to EASTA for
the excellent spread
and drinks deals in
the pub afterwards
and for their
company late into
the night where many
were taking full
advantage of the £1
per pint
extravaganza. Good
luck to EASTA in the
next round.
We will definitely
be entering going
forward and thank
you for everyone who
took part. The Team:
-
Patterson, Cockburn,
F Robertson, D
Robertson, Clark,
Park, Turpin,
Russell, Scott,
Mills, Urie. Subs:
Gardner, Morrison,
Deacon, Syme

LADTA MARCHES FUNDRAISER 2009
14th March, 2009 |
|
|
|
LADTA @ The
Marches 2009
Following the
success of last
years Linlithgow
Marches entry, we
have voted in favour
of entering again in
the 2009 procession.
An overwhelming
amount of us voted
in favour of hiring
The Bo'ness Pipe
Band to march along
side us on the
Marches Day 2009, on
Tuesday 16th June
this year. Needless
to say this calls
for another
fundraiser to raise
the required money
and ensure everyone
who attends has a
great time. A good
excuse to get
everyone together
and get in the mood
for the forthcoming
qualifiers!
Fundraiser
We have decided to
move the night to
Linlithgow Bowling
Club (behind the
West Port Hotel)
given the success of
the St Andrew's Day
bash in 2007 where
we had just under
100 people there.
The format will be
similar to last year
with a Race Night
and entertainment to
follow. We would
plan to sell all
tickets and race
sponsorships before
the night itself to
limit takings on the
door on the evening
itself. For
entertainment on the
night we have our
very own Craig
Turpin, a local
guitarist/vocalist
performing a live
acoustic set after
the races have
finished. Craig
performs a mixture
of his own songs and
modern covers and
has just recently
recorded his first
demo album. This
will be Craig's
first public gig and
you can take my word
for it that you'll
be very impressed!
Afterwards a DJ will
be there to provide
the music for the
remainder of the
night. Food will
also be provided on
the night.
Tickets/Sponsors/Donations
For ease of
organisation,
everyone interested
in going, please get
back to me on either
my mobile or email
address (or through
the rest of the
Marches Committee)
with how many
tickets you would
like and I'll
collect the money in
the next 6 weeks (£5
per ticket).
Any sponsors please
contact myself or
any of the Marches
Sub-Committee: Craig
Turpin, Eaon Poole
or David Paterson.
Any donations of
bottles for the race
winners and raffle
would also be very
welcome

WORLD CUP QUALIFIER DRAW MADE |
|
 |
Netherlands are the top seeds in
Scotland's five-strong group for
the 2010 World Cup qualifying
campaign after Sunday's draw in
South Africa.
The Scots will also face Norway,
Iceland and Macedonia in Group
9.
The Scots have risen to 14th in
the world rankings after running
close France and world champions
Italy during qualification for
Euro 2008.
Europe has nine qualifying
groups and the Scots have been
drawn in the only one not to
contain six teams.
Only the team finishing top
automatically qualify for the
finals, with the best eight
runners-up facing play-offs for
the remaining four places.
While the results against the
team finishing bottom will not
count in the other groups, all
those in Scotland's group will
as Group 9 does not contain a
sixth seed. |

UKRAINE TICKETS SOLD OUT |
|
|
As
has been publicised in the
newspapers all tickets for the
forthcoming Ukraine game have
sold out. LADTA no longer hold
any spares for this match as
they have been allocated to the
non-SSC contingent among us.
Bus arrangements – Leaving the
Star & Garter at 11.30am sharp,
all supporters are asked to be
in the Star for 11.15am to
ensure we are not held up.
Rutherglen Snooker Club is
booked with “Eriskay” lined up
for entertainment. Thanks go out
to the Halbeath TA and the Divit
Xiles TA for organising the
band. |

ITALY MATCH – NOTE TO NON-SSC
MEMBERS |
|
|
We
are soon to purchase Italy
tickets, all SSC members within
the LADTA have requested their
full allocation of two tickets
each for this match. This
obviously means that there are
no spares for the non-SSC
members (unless they are being
covered by a fellow SSC member
in the LADTA), so anyone coming
across any for sale should snap
them up at the earliest
opportunity. This situation is
one we envisaged with LADTA
members not signing up for the
SSC, to avoid future
disappointment log onto
www.scotlandsupportersclub.com
and sign up for your two year
membership in January, priced at
£40 it is well worth it and save
the hassle of a panic on public
sale day! |
|
|
30.09.2007 |
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS NOW DUE |
|
|
All LADTA members
are now due their £10 annual
fee, this can be paid to the
membership Secretary or the
Treasurer at your earliest
convenience. Failure to pay your
membership may result in losing
your discounted bus price
(although we don’t envisage any
problems in this area). |

ST ANDREWS DAY DISCO |
|
|
Social Convenor David Patterson
has organised a disco for the
next LADTA social night. This
will be held at Linlithgow
Bowling Club on the Friday 30th
November 2007. All members and
guests/friends and family are
welcome, the main aim for this
night is to build on the
cameradarie already blooming
within the LADTA while at the
same time raising a few pounds
for the club. A buffet plus
entertainment and a raffle will
be a few of the events going on
throughout the evening and the
added bonus is that drinks are
at Bowling Club prices! Tickets
are priced at £6 each. |

LADTA ANNIVERSARY |
|
|
It has been one
year since the LADTA started
following Scotland when we
defeated the Faroes 6-0 at
Parkhead. Since then we have
held a 100% home record, lets
hope this continues!
Congratulations and thanks to
all members for making the club
such a success in the first
year! |

UTTERLY FAD-TASTIC! FRANCE 0
SCOTLAND1 |
|
 |
Scotland secured an incredible
Euro 2008 double over France
courtesy of a James McFadden
strike in Paris.
The French threw everything at
the Scots in the Group B
qualifier in the Parc des
Princes but could not find a way
past goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
Tens of thousands of Tartan Army
foot soldiers had made the
journey to Paris to cheer on the
side more in hope than
expectation.
France looked menacing in the
opening 10 minutes and Ribery's
cross after a lung-bursting run
down the right-hand side was
cleared by central defender
Stephen McManus.
Scotland were failing to keep
possession and were camped in
front of their 18-yard box with
little sign of putting the
French under pressure.
McFadden stunned the French when
he collected the ball 30 yards
out and sent a rasping drive
towards goal which Landreau
could only help into the net.
The goal stung the French into
further attacks, but the Scots'
rearguard held firm.
Scotland held on to record a
second win against the World Cup
finalists, following the 1-0
victory at Hampden last October.
Scotland now lead the way in
Group B, the table can be viewed
at the top of the page by
clicking on Matches.
