I remember going to the world title (one of three versions at the time I think) at Memorial Drive many moons ago. Dennis Andres / one of the Waters boys. Andres was out of Kronk, I felt sure it was NY. Then again I thought, well its a family forum.

13. Ok - got my paper out & I'll rule 'em out 1 by 1

Pretty sure it wont be in the P League

St Johnstone in Div 1??

Queens Park in 2nd?? (just as easily Alloa)

But my gut feeling is with something from the 3rd divvy - and something with East in it (Think Falkirk is on the east coast).....so East Fife or East Stirling (as an aside East Fife are top & doing quite nicely. East Stirling are bottom!)

Hey there Lumpy...no idea what the answer is but you're about right on location of Falkirk...east coast...a few miles along the Firth of Forth (to the left) of Edinburgh.
