Having only joined Queens Park Supporters FC this season it was a good piece of fortune that my second game for my new team would be at Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh. Now home to East of Scotland League side Edinburgh City, it was of course the former home of the long gone Meadowbank Thistle.
Although not a particularly brilliant Stadium, with it's utilitarian look, it was still an interesting place to play a proper game. Built for the Commonwealth games that took place in Edinburgh in 1986, the ground hardly has a long footballing history (indeed Meadowbank flitted out in 1995, eventually becoming today what is known as Livingston), but nevertheless an important one.
For the record we won the game 5-4 to lift the Meadowbank Trophy, which had last been played for 9 years ago.
