26th of foot 6,084 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The 3rd round draw for the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup has been made, and Rangers Colts are to visit Ballymena United on the 7th/8th September. In my professional life I had cause to visit Ballymena Library, some thirty-odd years past. I remember they had a small Periodicals section dominated by copies of Tractor Monthly. Any Gersnetters intending to enjoy the trip, be prepared for the throbbing purrs of tantalising Tractors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnMc 2,754 Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 Ballymena hi! We should receive a good welcome there and of course NI football is doing okay currently, champions Linfield went through to the next qualifying round of the Champions League last night. To be fair they were 3-2 up at home with 7 minutes to go, only a pub team would throwaway a lead from there. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ensure you carry spare copies of Western Isles Tractor Quarterly, blow their minds. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a guy from Ballymoney, just a wee bit up the road, who attended revivals in Stornoway back in the day. This is the best Ballymena side in a long time, they should be too strong for our youngsters. I'd love to go, but it won't happen. I did see Rangers play Crusaders and Ballyclare back in the 90s. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
