As a lifelong Pars supporter who lives about a twenty minute walk from Meadowbank, I sometimes watch City when I can`t make the Pars game. Facilities wise, nothing at all has changed since we last played there in League 1 two seasons ago, so let`s hope it doesn`t rain on match day! Nevertheless, I would much rather occasionally go to Meadowbank than Easter Road or Tynecastle!

I thought your username was a nod to your wee team (Man City), but it turns out that it`s actually Edinburgh City. 😃😃😃
Not your average Sunday League player.

Sometimes when watching Edinburgh City I have to remind myself I`m not at the Etihad. 🙄

Time restraints prevented me from travelling across to EEP this afternoon, so I watched the Citizens v Forfar game at Meadowbank. The City team is young, enthusiastic, full of running and with no little skill and I`ve no doubt they`ll be well up for a Cup upset. However, having said all that, we really should be able to beat them comfortably, regardless of James`s team selection on the day! I would expect a two or three goal clear margin, but then I`m ever the optimist when it comes to the Pars!

How is former Par, Jake Rennie getting on there?
They have a 20 year old striker, Connor Young who has had a good start to the season with 8 goals in 10 league games. 21 goals in 84 games is not a bad return for a kid his age, that`s the sort we should be keeping tabs on

Rennie only came on as a sub in injury time so had no time at all to make any kind of impact. Despite his youth, Connor Young looks like a real centre forward, ably supported by attacking midfielders like James Stokes. I know it`s League 2 football, but they like to play on the front foot from the off, so we`ll have to match them for work rate and enthusiasm. We really should be a class above them though and it would really take a major upset for City to win.

My apologies for not replying to comments directly. I`m new to the forum and not exactly computer savvy, it`s an age thing, so I haven`t yet worked out how to do that.

I purchased my ticket this morning. Pars fans please remember, the official capacity at Meadowbank is only 1,280, with a mere 499 seats, so don`t miss out!

Tyncastle is indeed a nice stadium, I was there as someone`s guest a few weeks ago for the Hearts v St Mirren game. It`s not really so much from a stadia perspective that I prefer Meadowbank, more that I find watching Edinburgh City quite a relaxing and enjoyable experience. I view Hearts and Hibs as future rivals, hopefully sooner rather than later, but it`s highly unlikely City will progress above Leagues 2 or 1 and I don`t expect us to plunge to these depths again!

Never been in Tynecastle since it`s modernisation, but have fond memories of the games in the sixties.
Across for the New Year sales then onto Tynecastle under the covered terracing, with the usual banter with the Heart`s supporters!
Oh, forgot the smells from the nearby brewery!

A hattrick for Connor Young. 10 goals in his last 9 games. He’ll be snapped up by the likes of Ayr or Falkirk while we’re kicking our heels as usual.

Michael McIndoe has a young, inexperienced side playing well and believing in themselves, with Connor Young in a rich vein of form. Can they keep that up at a higher level? I think they`ll give us a real game, but surely we have enough to get through this tie! I`ll still predict 3-1 Pars. (At least for the moment!).
