Following the unfair criticism of our pitch from the Dundee manager on Tuesday, it was great to hear some balance from The Road to Wembley from Scotland (FB). We’re a small but dedicated group of committee & volunteers — feedback like this makes it all worthwhile. Thank you 🤝

Bonnyrigg Rose v Dundee FC, Premier Sports Cup. 853 in attendance at Ferguson Park. Thank you to all our committee members and volunteers who made sure FP was ready for tonight and for the incredible shift everyone put in behind the pie hut, the bar and in & around the ground.

Pie review: Steak & Gravy Pie, @WhitehilWelfare. Fundamentally this is a very good pie. Excellent quality beef filling and the right ratio of gravy. Alas, underdone pastry knocks the score down a bit. Enjoyed it nonetheless. 💷 £3 ⭐️ 8 #davesfootballtravels ⚽️

Check out the action shots from yesterday’s friendly match against Hibs XI! 📸 A big thank you to our volunteer club photographer, Steve Waspe, for capturing another set of fantastic moments. 👉 View the full gallery here: whitehillwelfare.co.uk/photos/album/w…
